What IPT does

IPT GmbH is a privately-held, manufacturer-independent IT services company registered in Frankfurt am Main, Germany (Handelsregister HRB 36883). The company has operated for more than ten years and is led by Peter Trottnow, who is listed as the primary contact. IPT delivers a portfolio of IT services to business customers in the Frankfurt am Main metropolitan area, including IT consulting and planning, coordination of individualized hardware and software solutions, IT security services, ongoing maintenance and support, and recurring service plans. The company's underlying technology is conventional IT-services delivery — vendor-neutral consulting, system unification, performance tuning, license management, and on-site implementation — with no proprietary platform, API, or software product disclosed.

IPT generates revenue through two streams: (1) professional services covering current-state analysis, configuration consulting, and system integration; and (2) managed services delivered via ongoing service plans that include maintenance, software updates, and performance optimization. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with an on-site consultation-first model — the first consultation is offered free to new customers. Marketing is limited to a basic company website (ipt-ffm.de) and direct contact channels (phone, fax, email). Customer segmentation is horizontal, targeting business customers that require independent IT advice, with no named logos, no industry verticalization, and no published pricing.

The company's stated differentiators are its manufacturer-independent, budget-oriented advisory stance and its ability to extend rather than replace existing systems. The addressable opportunity set is local SMB and mid-market IT outsourcing in the Frankfurt region, though IPT's dated web presence, single named contact, absence of disclosed headcount or revenue, and lack of any partnerships, certifications, or hiring signals indicate a very small operating footprint.

Broad incumbents

• Avanade Inc. Avanade is a global IT services consultancy jointly owned by Accenture and Microsoft, delivering enterprise-scale IT consulting, integration, and managed services. While much broader and focused on Microsoft ecosystems, it competes for the same enterprise IT services budgets that IPT's larger customers may outsource to.
• TietoEVRY Oyj: TietoEVRY is a Nordic-headquartered IT services and software company with German operations, offering digital consulting, managed services, and system integration. It competes for enterprise IT services mandates across Northern Europe and DACH, providing a broader incumbent alternative to local MSPs like IPT.

Direct peers

• Ratiodata SE: Ratiodata is a German IT services provider specializing in IT outsourcing, managed services, and hardware/software consulting for mid-market customers. Its focus on regional SMB IT support and manufacturer-independent positioning makes it a comparable regional MSP to IPT.
• msg systems AG: msg is a German IT consulting and services group providing industry-specific IT solutions, system integration, and managed services to enterprise clients. While larger and more specialized, its integration consulting and ongoing support model closely mirrors IPT's end-to-end service concept.
• Computacenter plc: Computacenter is a leading European IT infrastructure and services provider with major operations in Germany, delivering hardware/software solutions, managed services, and security consulting. Its German business mirrors IPT's end-to-end service model from consulting through ongoing support, though at enterprise scale and publicly listed.
• Allgeier SE: Allgeier is a German IT services group offering consulting, software, and operational IT services to enterprise and mid-market customers in DACH. Its portfolio of IT consulting and managed services overlaps directly with IPT's analysis, configuration, and ongoing support offerings.
• CANCOM SE: CANCOM is a German-headquartered IT services and cloud provider offering managed services, IT security, and consulting to mid-market customers across DACH. Its hybrid services-plus-cloud portfolio closely parallels IPT's hardware/software integration and security strategy, making it a direct competitor for the same regional customer base.
• ACP Group: ACP is a German IT services and system house group offering vendor-neutral hardware, software, and managed services to SMB and enterprise customers. Its mid-market focus and product-agnostic delivery model position it as a direct comparable to IPT in the German system house landscape.
• SVA System Vertrieb Alexander GmbH: SVA is a German IT system house providing manufacturer-independent enterprise IT solutions including consulting, integration, managed services, and security. Its product-agnostic, customer-tailored delivery model and mid-market focus align closely with IPT's positioning in the German system house market.
• Bechtle AG: Bechtle is Germany's largest IT system house, offering manufacturer-independent hardware, software, and IT services to mid-market and enterprise customers across multiple regions. Like IPT, it positions itself as a vendor-neutral advisor coordinating integrated IT solutions, but at vastly larger scale with thousands of employees and a public listing.
