Sadowsky

What Sadowsky does

Sadowsky KG is a privately held German IT services firm (Kommanditgesellschaft) founded in 1993 and headquartered in Wiesbaden, with a secondary address in Hamburg. The company operates with a small team (estimated 5–10 employees across five named individuals) and delivers a full-stack IT bundle: network planning and installation (structured cabling, physical and virtual networks, file/email/backup servers), custom software development using Java (Spring, EJB, JSF, JSP, Struts), C/C++/.NET, PHP, and Liferay with agile/Scrum delivery, website creation and hosting on a service-oriented architecture, secure guest WiFi through its proprietary Sadowskyspot hotspot system, homeoffice workstation setup with VPN, and external TÜV-certified data protection officer services under GDPR/BDSG.

The business runs on a mixed revenue model combining professional services billed per project or retainer (custom software, network and web projects), managed-services retainers for hardware and server maintenance under the SAMI brand, subscription-based web hosting, hardware-plus-recurring-fee sales for the hotspot system (EUR 199–399 hardware, EUR 40–70/month bandwidth tariffs plus EUR 7.50/month youth-protection filter), and fee-based external DPO advisory. Distribution is direct-to-buyer through the company website, phone, and email, supported by a Wortmann Terra channel partnership for hardware supply. The customer base is primarily German SMBs seeking integrated IT support, with the external DPO line additionally targeting freelancers and creative professionals; named enterprise logos (Apple, Microsoft, Bayer, Deutsche Bahn, Volkswagen, Hessian Ministry) appear as historical project references for the managing owner rather than current contracted accounts.
