What it-daily.net | IT-Verlag GmbH does

IT Verlag für Informationstechnik GmbH operates it-daily.net, a German-language B2B IT news and information portal headquartered in Otterfing, Bavaria, with a 15-person team. The company publishes daily editorial coverage across two core verticals — IT Management (cloud, ERP/SAP, digitalization, AI, Industry 4.0) and IT Security (cybercrime, IAM, GRC, NIS2) — alongside two niche magazines, a Thought Leadership section, a newsletter, webinars and an event calendar. Its product portfolio spans the it-daily.net portal, the jobs.it-daily.net job board, the annual it-daily.net Award program, and the IT-Spotlight premium vendor showcase.

The business operates on a diversified three-stream monetization model: (1) a transactional and subscription job board (Basic at €600+, Netzwerk at €1,100+, Full Stack at €12,000/year, plus a €995/year Premium Employer Profile), (2) display and media-data advertising across it-daily.net and its media properties, and (3) IT-Spotlight sponsored placements featuring a recurring set of IT vendors. Job postings are amplified through a distribution partnership with the Golem.de network (developer-media.de, Linux-Magazin.de, PCGH.de, raspberry-pi-geek.de and others), giving the company cross-site reach without owning the underlying audiences.

The company serves three primary customer segments in the DACH region: IT decision-makers (consuming news and editorial content), IT employers (purchasing job postings and employer branding), and IT vendors/publishers (sponsoring spotlight placements and display ads). Distribution is primarily direct via the it-daily.net website, self-serve via jobs.it-daily.net, and through the Golem network. The platform also maintains an English-language edition (en.it-daily.net), indicating intent to broaden beyond DACH, though DACH remains the primary served market.

Direct peers

• Golem.de: Golem.de is the leading German IT news portal and the core network partner that distributes it-daily.net job ads. Both sites publish daily IT news in German targeting IT professionals and decision-makers, and share a distribution partnership that makes them simultaneously direct competitors in content and collaborators in recruitment reach.
• iX (Heise Medien): iX is Heise's professional IT magazine focused on IT administration, security, and infrastructure. It overlaps directly with it-daily.net's IT-Security and IT-Management coverage and addresses the same German-speaking IT professional audience with similar deep-dive editorial content.
• Silicon.de: Silicon.de is a German online IT business publication covering enterprise IT, cloud, and digital transformation for CIOs and IT decision-makers. It targets the same German-speaking IT decision-maker audience as it-daily.net and competes for B2B advertising in enterprise IT.

Broad incumbents

• LinkedIn (Talent Solutions): LinkedIn Talent Solutions is the dominant professional recruiting platform globally and in DACH. While not a publisher, it competes directly with it-daily.net's job board by capturing IT employer recruitment budgets and candidate mindshare, particularly for higher-tier annual subscriptions.
• c't Magazin (Heise Medien): c't is Heise's flagship German tech publication covering IT broadly. It overlaps with it-daily.net's general IT news coverage and competes for the same advertising and readership pool of German tech professionals, though it skews more technical/consumer than enterprise decision-maker.
• Heise Online (Heise Medien): Heise is the dominant German tech publisher operating heise online, c't, iX, and Technology Review. It serves the same DACH IT decision-maker audience as it-daily.net but at much greater scale, with broader coverage and deeper event/conference franchises — making it the primary incumbent IT media competitor.
• Computerwoche (IDG): Computerwoche is Germany's longstanding CIO and IT management publication under IDG. It targets the same IT decision-maker segment (CIOs, IT managers) as it-daily.net's IT Management coverage, and competes for both advertising budgets and content attention in the German B2B IT space.
• StepStone (IT/Tech segment): StepStone is one of Germany's leading job boards, including a sizable IT/tech vertical. It competes with jobs.it-daily.net for employer recruitment spend and IT candidate attention in the DACH market at much greater scale.

Regional players

• Linux Magazine / Linux-Magazin: Linux-Magazin is part of the Golem network that distributes it-daily.net jobs. As a German-language Linux and open-source publication, it serves an adjacent segment of the same DACH IT professional readership, and shares distribution infrastructure with it-daily.net rather than competing directly on general IT news.

Emerging players

• Stack Overflow Talent: Stack Overflow's job board serves global IT technical recruiting with developer-targeted reach. While operating at different geographic scale, it competes for IT employer recruitment budgets and represents a global platform alternative to it-daily's DACH-focused job board.
