What AEC does

Aricoma is a Central European enterprise IT services group formed through the consolidation of AEC (founded 1993), Komix, CES EA, and Autocont under the KKCG investment group, rebranded into a unified brand in September 2023. The company operates three business units—Enterprise Cybersecurity (24/7 SOC, MDR), Digital (custom software for public administration), and International (IT infrastructure for EU institutions)—and serves enterprise and public-sector clients across banking, insurance, healthcare, energy, telecommunications, manufacturing, and public administration in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Belgium, and broader EU markets.

The company's product portfolio combines proprietary solutions (DocumentExtract AI for invoice/document processing, TreeINFO for Microsoft 365 contract management) with deep implementation expertise across partner platforms including SAP (S/4HANA, SuccessFactors, VIM/CIM), IBM (FileNet P8, FlashSystem 5600/7600/9600 with FlashSystem.ai), HPE (Aruba Networking Central, Alletra Storage MP, GreenLake), Microsoft (Dynamics 365), OpenText (Extended ECM), and Fortinet. Noteworthy implementations include a 5.5-million-document migration for CETIN on IBM FileNet, contract digitization for 4,500+ HP TRONIC employees, and IT infrastructure deliveries to the European Commission, European Parliament, and FRONTEX.

Aricoma generates revenue through managed cybersecurity services, hardware resale, enterprise software implementation, and long-term professional services contracts. The group reports CZK 12.4 billion (~EUR 500 million) in annual revenue and 6,000+ IT professionals, with revenue anchored by large enterprise and public-sector engagements, including a EUR 616.8 million European Commission contract renewed in December 2025.
