Broad incumbents

• Computacenter plc: UK-headquartered but DACH-active enterprise IT infrastructure and managed services provider, with a strong Cisco, Fortinet and security partner portfolio. Comparable on the systems integration and managed networking/security side, but skewed toward larger enterprise customers than ENSE's KMU focus.
