What ComNET does

ComNET GmbH is a privately held German IT system house headquartered in Hannover with a network of nine regional offices (Wolfsburg, Hamburg, Bremen, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Worms, Augsburg, Braunschweig). Founded in 1994, the company operates as a multi-entity group of five corporate entities employing 254 staff and reports over 9,000 completed projects. It positions itself as a holistic solutions provider for digitalization projects, with deep specialization in convergent IP communications, LAN/WAN/wireless networking, voice and VoIP, and IT security.

The company's core offering is an integrated portfolio of professional services (network audit, WLAN site surveys, data analytics, field services), managed services (IaaS, Security as a Service, Monitoring as a Service, Managed Backup, plus the proprietary comNETz Cloud platform for hosting and SIP trunks), and product resale across networking (HPE Aruba Platinum, Extreme Gold, Cisco), security (Sophos Gold, Stormshield, SentinelOne), virtualization (Proxmox Silver, VMware, Veeam), and unified communications (OpenTalk, Innovaphone, Microsoft Teams). A proprietary AI-powered radar surveillance product, 'KI meets Ordnung', was co-developed with Frings for privacy-compliant public-space monitoring. The portfolio is delivered through an enterprise field-sales motion with regional engineering coverage, supplemented by the transactional comNET IT-Shop e-commerce platform for IT hardware and software procurement.

ComNET generates revenue from four streams: professional services engagements, recurring managed services, hardware/software resale, and transaction fees from its e-commerce platform. Customers include German enterprise and mid-market firms (e.g., CEWE, ElspRO) and public-sector buyers (e.g., City of Bonn), with case studies spanning network modernization, VMware-to-Proxmox migration, and smart-city surveillance. Pricing is quote-based B2B with multi-year contracts typical, and no public pricing or revenue disclosure is available. The company has no disclosed parent, investors, or M&A activity.
