BMAnetworks

What BMAnetworks does

BMAnetworks GmbH is a German IT system integrator founded in 2007 and headquartered in Schwentinental (near Kiel) with an operational office in Hamburg-Bahrenfeld. Operating as a core subsidiary of the DIERCK GROUP—a consortium of nine specialized IT companies with more than 260 employees and 140+ years of combined history—BMAnetworks delivers end-to-end IT services spanning consulting, infrastructure, hardware procurement, security, and cloud services to enterprise businesses, public sector organizations, ISPs and carriers, and educational institutions across northern and central Germany.

The company's product portfolio covers six core lines: IT-Services (consulting, project implementation, 24/7 service desk with multi-level support), IT-Infrastruktur (fiber, SD-WAN, carrier-grade NAT, network switching), Hardware (branded switches, firewalls, WLAN controllers, ADCs), IT-Security (network security, advanced threat prevention, security consulting), Cloud Services (WLAN@Cloud and Security@Cloud managed from German data centers for GDPR compliance), and Consulting (IT, project, digitalization, and license advisory). Underlying technology includes cloud-controlled WLAN with patent-pending antenna technology, managed security stacks integrated with Fortinet (notably as the first Engage Tech Support Partner in Germany), and a broad partner ecosystem spanning Juniper, Extreme Networks, CommScope, A10 Networks, Zyxel, and SentinelOne. Training is delivered through the DIERCK Academy with 50+ IT courses and 200+ certified trainers.

BMAnetworks generates revenue through a mix of custom service contracts (9x5 or 24x7 support, annual subscription billing), project-based infrastructure and hardware sales, recurring managed cloud services, and pay-as-you-go training seminars (€185–€1,975 per seat). Go-to-market is primarily direct enterprise field sales to mid-market and large customers, supported by a centralized service desk and supplemented by digital channels (InsightD newsletter, INNO IT trade show, TechTalk webinars, news blog, and group social media). The company is privately held under Ehrk family ownership through the DIERCK GROUP holding structure, with Managing Directors Alisa Ehrk and Wolfgang Ehrk.

Direct peers

• Computacenter: Pan-European IT integrator delivering workplace, infrastructure, security, and managed services to enterprise and public-sector customers. Comparable in offering mix to BMAnetworks, including strong Fortinet-aligned security and SD-WAN practices, but operates across multiple geographies at much greater scale.
• CANCOM SE: German-headquartered hybrid IT and managed-services provider focused on cloud, infrastructure, and workplace solutions. Directly comparable to BMAnetworks on the managed cloud and infrastructure-services axis, especially for mid-market and public-sector customers.
• Bechtle AG: Germany's largest IT system integrator with a similar end-to-end portfolio spanning infrastructure, software, services, and training, serving both enterprise and public-sector buyers. Closest direct competitor to BMAnetworks, but at vastly larger scale with national coverage.
• q.beyond AG: German managed IT services and cloud provider specializing in SAP, infrastructure, and cloud operations for mid-market customers. Highly comparable to BMAnetworks on managed services and cloud-hosting in Germany, though with a stronger SAP legacy.
• Allgeier SE: German-headquartered IT services group combining enterprise software, consulting, and infrastructure services. Similar to DIERCK GROUP's diversified structure, with comparable mid-market enterprise IT services overlap.
• msg systems AG: Germany-based IT consultancy and systems house with strong public-sector and regulated-vertical penetration, including insurance and government. Directly comparable to BMAnetworks in serving German public-sector and regulated buyers with compliance-led IT projects.
• SVA System Vertrieb Alexander GmbH: German IT system integrator with a multi-OEM enterprise infrastructure portfolio and growing managed-services arm. Mirrors BMAnetworks' OEM-led stack (Cisco, Fortinet, Dell) and target customer base of mid-market and enterprise accounts in Germany.

Broad incumbents

• Atos: Global IT services group with significant German public-sector and enterprise infrastructure footprint. Overlaps with BMAnetworks on managed infrastructure, security, and public-sector modernization, but competes across a much broader portfolio.
• Capgemini: Global IT consulting and systems integration firm with strong German enterprise and public-sector practices. Competes with BMAnetworks on large transformation and managed-infrastructure deals, especially where regulated buyers prefer tier-1 providers.
• T-Systems: Deutsche Telekom's enterprise IT arm offering cloud, networking, security, and managed services across Germany and Europe. Competes with BMAnetworks on the same buyer RFPs but as a much larger incumbent with deeper resources.
