CSF

What CSF does

Czech IT services and infrastructure provider (CSF, s.r.o.), founded in 1998 by Miroslav Frýba CSc in Hradec Králové. The company delivers a multi-vendor IT services portfolio — hardware supply, managed print services (MPS), cloud services, IT outsourcing, device rental, hardware repair, and IT financing — to enterprise, mid-market, educational, and SMB customers exclusively within the Czech Republic. CSF operates from five branch offices (Hradec Králové HQ, Prague, Brno, Ostrava, Zlín) and is a certified partner for major hardware and software vendors including HP, Lenovo, Dell, Microsoft, Fortinet, Veeam, Philips, HP Poly, APC, IBM, Toshiba, Epson, and Logitech.

CSF's technical surface area combines two in-house products with third-party platforms. GateGuard is an email security service built on Fortinet/FortiGuard with anomaly detection and process automation; Resys is a proprietary room reservation system; Cloud Backup extends Microsoft 365 coverage. The vendor authorization stack spans multiple OEMs, enabling cross-vendor support contracts and one-stop procurement for clients standardizing or refreshing mixed estates. Recurring service contracts — MPS, Cloud Backup, GateGuard, IT outsourcing, rentals — are increasingly layered on top of one-time hardware sales.

Revenue mechanics combine one-time hardware passthrough sales with recurring managed services, subscription-based cloud offerings, usage-based MPS billing, rental subscriptions, financial services commissions on financed IT procurement, and professional services. The mix is gradually shifting toward stickier annuity streams as the installed base of managed contracts and rentals grows, though hardware remains a meaningful top-line component. CSF has scaled from ~35 million CZK (2008) and ~300 million CZK (2022) to 663 million CZK in 2025, with headcount rising to approximately 50 employees over the same three-year window.
