What Via Appia does

Via Appia EDV GmbH is a privately held German IT system house (IT-Systemhaus) founded in 1997 and headquartered at Engelstraße 19, Erlangen. The company delivers managed IT services to small and medium-sized businesses (Mittelstand) in the Nuremberg metropolitan region — Erlangen, Nuremberg, and Fürth. Core offerings span four pillars: managed IT infrastructure (Betreuung IT-Infrastruktur), IT security concepts (IT-Sicherheit, including TÜV-certified employee training and phishing tests), cloud and server solutions, and hardware/software procurement, all delivered manufacturer-independently.

Services are productized into three monthly subscription tiers — Basis, Komfort, and Premium — covering desktop/server management, system monitoring, automatic security updates, antivirus, firewall, Microsoft 365 administration, NAS/switch management and phone support, with the Komfort and Premium tiers adding rights management, e-learning security training, semi-annual security consultations, on-site technician support, and strategic IT consulting for management. Optional modules (email archiving, managed workplace, mobile device management) and a remote service capability extend the core. Pricing is structured as fixed monthly fees with short-commitment flexibility and a satisfaction guarantee, supported by a website pricing calculator.

Beyond its German Mittelstand base, Via Appia operates as an authorized Appian partner implementing the Appian low-code automation platform in the Asia-Pacific and Japan region, with named customer wins in the Philippines in banking and government sectors. The company was recognized with the 2025 Appian APJ Partner Award. It is led by managing director (Geschäftsführer) Christian Letsch, remains founder/family-managed with no disclosed institutional investors, and employs 11–50 people.
