RIZ IT-Motion

What RIZ IT-Motion does

RIZ IT-Motion GmbH is a privately held German managed IT services provider founded in 2001 and headquartered in Radolfzell, on Lake Constance. The firm delivers IT consulting, infrastructure design, implementation, and ongoing support to small and medium-sized enterprises (KMU) in the Konstanz/Radolfzell region and elsewhere in Germany. Its stated customer base spans 500+ businesses over 25 years across verticals including healthcare/laboratory, housing, manufacturing, construction, landscaping, and automotive, with multiple named clients reporting multi-decade tenures.

The company's technology stack combines on-premise infrastructure (Pure Storage servers, Synology NAS) with cloud-based managed services, supported by an owned data center in Radolfzell that delivers VM hosting, managed hosting, managed firewall, and hardware housing with a 99.9% target availability standard. Security services are anchored by a Gold Partner relationship with Hornetsecurity (a Proofpoint subsidiary), covering email protection, anti-spam, antivirus, and archiving. Customer-facing tooling includes the Kundenportal (customer portal), Interconnect portal, LiveConfig-powered webserver administration, and Fernwartung (encrypted Azure-hosted remote maintenance) for Windows and Mac endpoints. The firm is led by Managing Directors Kai Düster and Calin Rotaru.

RIZ IT-Motion operates a mixed revenue model: recurring managed services and subscriptions for ongoing IT administration, monitoring, and security; project-based professional services for consulting and infrastructure implementation; and rental-based data center services for hosted infrastructure. GTM is consultative and direct, with sales-led account management focused on long-term regional partnerships; pricing is custom-quoted per engagement rather than tiered or publicly disclosed. No external investors, parent entities, acquisitions, or funding rounds are disclosed.
