Ascotec

What Ascotec does

Ascotec (legal entity: ascotec GmbH, also operating as ascotec IT-Systemhaus) is a Berlin-based managed IT services provider and system house serving small and medium-sized businesses in the Berlin metropolitan area. The company is led by Managing Director Matthias Dinges and operates with a nine-person team of certified IT specialists (Fachinformatiker für Systemintegration) handling system administration, IT security, network infrastructure, remote maintenance, data backup, and data protection consulting. Services are delivered through five modular lines: IT-Betreuung (managed support), Administration (hardware/software sales, server monitoring, virtualization on Hyper-V and VMware ESX), Sicherheit (security, backup, firewall, antivirus, GDPR/DPO consulting), Mobiles Arbeiten (secure remote access), and a specialized Telematikinfrastruktur (TI) vertical in which Ascotec is a gematik-certified service provider installing approved components and supporting eHBA processes for medical and dental practices (over 200 healthcare installations completed).

The technology stack is conventional enterprise IT: the company operates its own Berlin data center for customer server hosting and continuous monitoring, uses TeamViewer for customer-initiated remote maintenance sessions, and integrates with DATEV for tax advisor and auditor clients. Server monitoring software tracks fan operation, temperature, disk status, antivirus state, and backup completion with automated alerting and monthly email status reports; nightly automated backups include offsite encrypted datacenter options. Recurring maintenance contracts (Wartungsverträge) form the primary revenue mechanism, supplemented by one-time hardware and software sales, managed server hosting fees, professional services for projects such as virtualization (with cited annual electricity savings potential of over €2,300 per customer), and GDPR-related data protection officer services.

The go-to-market is sales-led and direct: a personal account manager model with primary technician, deputy coverage, and daily in-house availability, supported by phone-based sales and an on-site field motion across Berlin. Geographic scope is limited to the Berlin metro area; the company is privately held with no external investors, no funding history, and no M&A activity. The competitive differentiation rests on the gematik-regulated TI certification for healthcare, embedded long-term customer relationships, and the bundled combination of an owned data center with certified on-site and remote support.
