ScanPlus

What ScanPlus does

ScanPlus was a German IT services company founded in 1995 and headquartered in Ulm, delivering network, infrastructure, managed enterprise applications, and professional services to midmarket clients. Following acquisition by q.beyond AG, the entity was renamed q.beyond Cloud Solutions GmbH in December 2022 and legally merged into q.beyond AG on 31 July 2023, at which point it ceased to exist as an independent legal entity and now operates as the Cloud Solutions business division within the publicly listed parent group.

The current offering is organized into four service lines: Data & AI (Private Enterprise AI, Data Intelligence, KI-Services, AI Act as a Service, KI-Readiness Check); Business Applications & Modern Work (SAP solutions, Microsoft solutions, Application Management Services, software development); Cloud & Infrastructure (cloud solutions and colocation); and Security & Compliance (IT security services, IT compliance, NIS-2 readiness). Delivery relies on strategic partnerships with Microsoft and SAP, and the unit positions sovereign IT capabilities and EU regulatory compliance (NIS-2, EU AI Act, Digital Sovereignty) as core go-to-market themes.

The unit serves European Mittelstand customers across five verticals — logistics, retail, manufacturing, banking & insurance, and public sector — through direct enterprise sales and partner-led delivery via the Microsoft and SAP ecosystems. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and the revenue model is consistent with project-based consulting, integration, and recurring managed-services engagements. As of 31.07.2023, no separate revenue or employee headcount is reported for the unit; operations are reported within q.beyond AG's group financials.
