What Elanity Network Partner does

enthus, operating under the legal entity historically known as Elanity Network Partner, is a privately held German IT managed services provider founded circa 2000 and headquartered in Hanover. The company delivers a full-service IT infrastructure and managed services portfolio spanning Modern Workplace, Security, Network and Datacenter solutions, complemented by the proprietary 'enthus cloud' and 'enthus connect' service lines. Its stack integrates third-party platforms including HP Inc. for Device as a Service, Arctic Wolf for Managed Detection & Response, Matrix42 for IT Service Management, and a multi-vendor Microsoft 365 backup portfolio (Hornetsecurity, AvePoint, Veeam, Commvault).

The customer base is diversified across five verticals - public institutions, healthcare, church and social organizations, POS/retail/OEM, and general business enterprises - served through direct enterprise and mid-market sales motions.

enthus operates across Germany, Austria and Switzerland with a workforce of more than 500 employees and reports annual revenue exceeding EUR 200 million. The company holds ISO 9001 quality management certification, publishes the TechPulse podcast hosted by the Director of Corporate Strategy & Marketing, and runs the enthus Academy for training and enablement. Co-founders Peter Schröder (CEO) and Andreas Waltje (Managing Director) continue to lead the business, which appears to remain independent and founder/management-owned with no disclosed external institutional investment.
