What Byon does

Byon gmbh is a Frankfurt am Main-based provider of integrated IT and Unified Communications (UC) solutions for mid-market to large enterprises, founded in 2006 and operating as an independent subsidiary of the 360 ITC corporate group since early 2023. The company's product portfolio spans four core categories: (1) IT Security, including SASE 2.0, SIEM, EDR/XDR, ZTNA, Managed Firewall, Managed SD-WAN, Managed SBC, Managed WLAN, and KRITIS/NIS2 compliance solutions; (2) Unified Communications, comprising cloud telephony (PBX), smart call routing (vACD), Microsoft Teams integration, SIP trunks, and a multichannel Contact Center Hub; (3) Connectivity and Network Services (Dedicated Internet/Cloud/Ethernet Access, Dark Fibre, MPLS, Ethernet VPN, Managed Fibre/DWDM); and (4) the Microsoft Modern Workplace stack (Microsoft 365, Intune, Purview). Supporting applications are delivered through byon Apps and proprietary in-house-developed cloud systems.

The company operates a sales-led go-to-market model targeted at German mid-market and large enterprises, supported by a 100+ person team covering development, sales, consulting, IT, technical support and customer service, plus distribution through Microsoft and Fortinet technology partnerships and a broader reseller/Vertriebspartner network. Revenue is generated through recurring subscriptions (UC, connectivity), managed services (security, network), and professional/custom development engagements; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Reference customers span non-profit/social services (Caritas, Paritätische), mobility (Book n Drive), data center infrastructure (maincubes), and retail/vending (Selecta).

Distinct from a pure reseller, Byon maintains an internal development capability that has produced proprietary software including SNAKE Analytics, an AI-based predictive analytics tool for IT infrastructure optimization built on the LeiSER research project (completed July 2025, awarded the Distr@l Quality Seal SILBER by LIDIA Hesse). SNAKE 2.0, co-financed by EFRE, is in development to extend this capability to whole-data-center optimization including energy supply. The company has 30+ years of combined experience in IT, UCC and Managed Services (as of 2026) and is actively pursuing the German KRITIS/NIS2 regulatory compliance market as a growth vertical.
