What Strategic IT GmbH does

Strategic IT GmbH is a Germany-based Microsoft consulting and implementation partner founded in 2009, headquartered in Herford, North Rhine-Westphalia, with a branch office in Hamburg. The company specializes in Microsoft Dynamics 365 (Sales, Customer Service, Field Service, Customer Insights), the Microsoft Power Platform (Power Apps, Power BI, Power Automate, Power Pages), Microsoft Fabric, Microsoft 365 and Azure, with a stated emphasis on Microsoft Copilot adoption. Its technical core is services-led — customization, integration and deployment of Microsoft's enterprise stack — augmented by two proprietary solutions: CheckApp, a mobile field-service digitization app built on the Power Platform for sales field request processes (store checks, in-store checks, exhibition rooms), and the Gastivo Partner Portal, which lets external users view, create and maintain Dynamics 365 data without full client access. The firm also offers enablement through Microsoft-certified "App in a Day" and "Dashboard in a Day" workshops, plus the emPowerHour community sessions held every eight weeks for Citizen Developers.

The business model is professional services revenue, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Strategic IT targets mid-sized German Mittelstand companies across mechanical engineering, wholesale/retail, real estate, e-commerce and logistics, executing over 20 projects per year with a stated team of approximately 30 certified employees and >100 person-years of combined experience. Go-to-market combines consultative direct sales (Microsoft Bookings consultation portal), event-driven community engagement (emPowerHour), workshop-led demand generation, and Microsoft partner channel leverage. The firm is officially certified as a Microsoft Solutions Partner and as a Microsoft AIAD (App in a Day) and DIAD (Dashboard in a Day) Delivery Partner, granting access to Microsoft-funded customer programs and escalation channels. Ownership is private and founder-controlled (managing directors Nils Frohloff and Christian Buck), with no disclosed institutional or external investor.

Quantitative self-reported scale signals include processing approximately 7,500,000 integrated data records per day across client integrations, and named reference customers including apetito catering, K-Line (maritime), Gastivo, Retail Management Companies, Pridemobility dealer association and logistics firm Kemena. The company maintains a GDPR-compliant posture and operates under Microsoft EU Data Boundary and AWS Standard Contractual Clauses. Headcount growth is visible across 2024-2026 with multiple new consultants and an AI Solutions Engineer hire in mid-2026, suggesting active scaling.
