Maximum Solution Consulting Group

What Maximum Solution Consulting Group does

Maximum Solution Consulting Group operates as the consulting arm of akquinet GmbH, a Hamburg-headquartered IT consultancy specializing in enterprise resource planning (ERP) implementations. The firm's core competency centers on Infor ERP platforms, supported by a bench of more than 150 Infor-specialized consultants and over 500 completed projects across roughly 150 customers. It also maintains adjacent practices in SAP S/4HANA, Microsoft Dynamics, healthcare transformation, and business intelligence, enabling cross-platform engagements for mid-market and enterprise clients with user populations ranging from 30 to 24,000 seats.

The company's technology portfolio combines proprietary products with platform implementation services. Owned or co-developed offerings include AKQUINET Cloud Navigator (cloud workload management), AKQUINET Voicebot (a conversational AI tool built on Microsoft infrastructure), JULE 365 (a Microsoft-365-based collaboration product), and H4C CareViva (a healthcare-sector suite). Underlying delivery is supported by akquinet-owned data centers reporting a PUE below 1.25, which the firm uses to host managed services for clients. The company's stated combined consultant experience exceeds 600 years focused on Infor platforms, with project footprints in 14+ countries and physical offices in Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, the United Kingdom, and the Czech Republic.

The business model is professional services-driven, with revenue generated through ERP implementation project fees, managed services tied to owned data centers, and increasingly through proprietary product licensing (Cloud Navigator, Voicebot, H4C CareViva). Go-to-market runs primarily through direct enterprise sales complemented by channel alliances — most notably Infor Gold Channel Partner and Alliance Partner designations. Pricing is project-based for implementations, subscription/managed-service-based for hosted offerings, and license-based for proprietary products, giving the firm a mixed recurring plus transactional revenue profile typical of European mid-market ERP consultancies.

Broad incumbents

• Atos / Eviden: Global IT services and systems integration incumbent with significant German operations and ERP/managed-services practices. Competes with Akquinet on larger enterprise transformations while Akquinet typically operates in the mid-market segment.
• NTT Data Business Solutions: Global SAP-focused systems integrator with strong DACH presence after acquiring S4 Consulting. Overlaps directly with Akquinet's SAP S/4HANA practice and managed-services offering, with much larger bench scale — a benchmark incumbent rather than a head-to-head peer.
• Capgemini Invent / Capgemini Engineering: Global systems integrator with a large German footprint and broad SAP/ERP/cloud consulting practice. Comparable for the same ERP implementation, managed services and cloud strategy services, typically at enterprise scale above Akquinet's mid-market sweet spot.

Direct peers

• msg systems ag: Germany-headquartered IT consultancy with a deep multi-ERP (SAP, Microsoft) and industry-vertical practices including insurance, healthcare and public sector. Highly comparable as a German mid-market systems integrator that, like Akquinet/AKQUINET, combines ERP implementation, managed services and proprietary vertical extensions.
• SIEVERS-GROUP / SIEVERS SNC: German Microsoft Dynamics 365 / Business Central-focused consultancy serving mid-market enterprises with ERP consulting, cloud and managed services. Closely comparable to Akquinet's Microsoft practice in customer profile, project scale and delivery model.
• All for One Group: German-listed SAP-focused consultancy serving mid-market enterprises with end-to-end ERP consulting, cloud migrations, managed services and add-on products. Directly comparable in customer segment, ERP-centric service mix and recurring managed-services model.
• MHP – a Porsche Company: German consultancy and IT services provider with a substantial SAP and enterprise applications practice, owned by Porsche AG. Highly comparable as a German-rooted, multi-vertical ERP/managed-services competitor with similar customer segments in manufacturing and automotive.
• Arbela Technologies: Specialist Infor partner with deep M3, LN, CloudSuite and Birst analytics practices. Direct competitor for Infor implementation work among mid-market manufacturers — one of a small set of global Gold-tier Infor partners against which Akquinet benchmarks its Infor franchise.
• Allgeier Group: Mid-cap German IT services group with strong ERP/SAP and Microsoft practices and a comparable portfolio of consulting, implementation and managed services. Operates multiple regional brands serving mid-market European enterprises, similar customer profile and service mix to Akquinet's SAP and Microsoft practices.

Regional players

• T-Systems (Deutsche Telekom): Germany-rooted IT services subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom, with strong public-sector, healthcare and SAP/cloud practices. Comparable as a regional incumbent, especially in Akquinet's public sector, healthcare and managed-services verticals.
