Conect

What Conect does

Conect AB is a privately held Swedish IT services provider founded in 1998 and headquartered in Jönköping, operating under the brand "Din IT-Partner." The company functions as a full external IT department for small and medium-sized businesses and property owners/housing associations (BRF) in the Jönköping region, delivering a bundled portfolio that includes broadband and fiber connectivity, FWA wireless links (up to 2,000 Mbit/s), managed server hosting and VPS, Microsoft 365 reselling, managed antivirus and RMM, backup services, IP-based video surveillance, telephony/PBX (via Telavox), video conferencing (Logitech/Yealink), document management (Kyocera), and IT equipment sales (Fujitsu, HP, Dell, Lenovo). The product is also extended into property automation networks covering access control, fire alarms, HVAC, and electricity metering.

The technical foundation rests on a company-owned data center in Jönköping with redundant internet, UPS, cooling, and 24/7 monitoring, combined with a metropolitan fiber network and Wetternet/Jönköping Energi city network access. The stack is partner-driven: Conect holds Microsoft CSP, Fujitsu Select Expert (20+ years), Telavox, Logitech, Yealink, and Kyocera partner statuses, and runs a software Marketplace for third-party licensing (Adobe, DocuSign, Dropbox, Eset, LastPass, TeamViewer). No proprietary AI/ML, APIs, or SDKs are disclosed; the only AI feature surfaced is third-party auto-framing in Logitech Rally Bar.

The revenue model is a hybrid of recurring managed services and one-time hardware sales: managed IT services contracts, Microsoft 365 subscription resale, telephony subscriptions, managed antivirus/RMM subscriptions, backup subscriptions (Conect Backup 365 at 25 kr/user/month), VPS usage-based pricing (vCPU/RAM/SSD/bandwidth), and broadband subscriptions, complemented by hardware sales across servers, PCs, peripherals, meeting technology, and document handling. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct — phone, email, website, and a 2024 co-branded showroom with Sonarps Interiör — with a horizontal segmentation approach across SMBs and a secondary vertical in property/BRF.
