What midpoints does

midpoints GmbH is a German IT services and software firm headquartered in Meschede, North Rhine-Westphalia, founded in 2011 by Michael Ingendoh and Detlev Pöttgen. The company operates exclusively within the HCL Notes/Domino platform ecosystem, providing consulting services alongside proprietary software products built entirely on HCL Domino architecture. It serves enterprise customers that run HCL's groupware infrastructure, including Deutsche Bahn AG, Miele, Viessmann, Deutsche Vermögensberatung, Gildemeister AG, and bugatti GmbH. The team is small (1-10 employees) and the company is founder-owned with no disclosed external funding.

The product portfolio comprises four offerings: mobile.profiler, a 100% HCL Domino-based Mobile Device Management solution supporting iOS, Android, and Windows 10 devices with OTA enrollment, profile distribution, security audits, and remote lock/wipe; traveler.rules, a device access control extension for HCL Traveler with blacklisting/whitelisting by serial number, device type, OS version, or username; doc.Store, a secure document sharing and synchronization solution with Notes sidebar plugin and iOS mobile app that avoids public cloud dependencies; and LE4D (Let's Encrypt 4 Domino), a free automated tool for Let's Encrypt SSL certificate creation, renewal, and integration with Domino key ring files. The largest managed Traveler environment administers over 35,000 mobile devices. All products run natively on Domino without additional hardware or third-party software dependencies.

Midpoints generates revenue across three streams: professional services consulting (HCL Notes/Domino, email management, enterprise mobility); quote-based software subscriptions for mobile.profiler, traveler.rules, and doc.Store with multi-year contract cadence; and workshops at €395-€679 per participant covering iOS enterprise deployment, HCL Traveler High Availability, mobile.profiler, and HCL Nomad/SafeLinx. The go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales, event-driven marketing (DNUG, AdminCamp, DeveloperCamp, UKUG, ILUG, BLUG), and OpenNTF community contributions. Strategic partnerships include HCL Technologies (Design Partner Program), Apple (MDM Group), and Samsung (SEAP), with participation in HCL Design Partner Programs shaping future Notes versions.

Direct peers

• Jamf: Market-leading Apple-focused MDM platform. Competes directly with midpoints' mobile.profiler in iOS enterprise device management, though at a vastly larger scale and with broader cross-Apple capabilities.
• Phora Group: Specialist Domino/Notes and HCL Traveler consultancy in the DACH region. Directly comparable peer in HCL Notes/Domino consulting services, often competing for the same enterprise engagements.
• We4IT: German IT services firm specializing in HCL/IBM Notes/Domino consulting, administration, and modernization. Most direct peer in the DACH Domino consulting and infrastructure services market.

Broad incumbents

• Microsoft Intune: Cloud-based MDM/UEM from Microsoft integrated with Microsoft 365. As enterprises migrate off Notes/Domino to Microsoft 365, Intune is the natural default MDM replacement, competing with midpoints' mobile.profiler.
• Ivanti (MobileIron / Neurons for MDM): Unified endpoint management platform built around the acquired MobileIron. Competes with mobile.profiler in cross-platform enterprise MDM, particularly for iOS-heavy deployments.
• IBM MaaS360: IBM's cloud-based MDM/UEM offering. Relevant because IBM (now HCL) historically owned the Notes/Domino ecosystem that midpoints serves; MaaS360 is the platform-level alternative some Domino customers may consider.
• Omnissa (formerly VMware Workspace ONE): Enterprise UEM platform spun out of VMware. Competes with mobile.profiler as a broad, cross-platform MDM for large enterprises including those with iOS, Android, and Windows device fleets.
• BlackBerry UEM: Cross-platform UEM offering from BlackBerry. Competes with midpoints' MDM positioning, particularly in regulated industries that overlap with midpoints' Notes/Domino customer base (rail, finance, manufacturing).
• HCL Software: Vendor of HCL Notes/Domino, HCL Traveler, and HCL Nomad. midpoints is a HCL Business Partner and Design Partner; HCL provides the underlying platform on which all midpoints products are built.

Emerging players

• Hexnode: Cloud-based UEM/MDM vendor focused on SMB and mid-market. Comparable to mobile.profiler in MDM functionality for iOS/Android but at a different price point and customer segment.
