What alpha IT Solutions GmbH does

alpha IT Solutions GmbH is a German IT system house headquartered in Nuthetal, Brandenburg, founded in 1990, that delivers full-lifecycle managed IT services to small and medium-sized businesses (5 to 100+ workstations) across the Berlin-Brandenburg metropolitan region. Its core offering is a six-stage model — Analyse, Beratung, Beschaffung, Betrieb, Support, and End of Life — delivered by a field-based account-manager model rather than rotating technicians, with 24/7 emergency (SOS) support and GDPR-compliant remote maintenance. Around this anchor it wraps specialized modules: backup and recovery (3-2-1, immutable, geo-redundant), ISMS consulting (ISO 27001, BSI IT-Grundschutz, NIS2), MFA and passkey deployment, social engineering awareness training, endpoint protection (Sophos Platinum Partner), virtualization (VMware, Hyper-V, Citrix), IaaS (AWS, Azure, Terra Cloud via Wortmann AG), and Windows 11 migration services. Revenue is generated across three streams: recurring managed-service subscriptions, project-based professional services, and hardware/software procurement, with quote-based pricing and annual billing cadence rather than public price cards. The company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the GFAD-Gruppe in March 2024, joining five other subsidiaries with combined headcount above 100; private ownership, two Managing Directors (Janko Steffan, Jaroslaw Andrzejewski), and ISO 9001:2015 certification (since 2022, re-certified 2023) round out its corporate profile. Technologically, the stack is built almost entirely on mainstream enterprise IT vendors — Microsoft (365, Azure, Hyper-V), Sophos, Hornetsecurity, Veeam/Acronis/Veritas, VMware, baramundi, Deskcenter — with no proprietary platform or AI/ML models of its own.
