ProSoft Krippner

What ProSoft Krippner does

ProSoft Krippner GmbH is a privately held German IT Systemhaus founded in 1997 by Ralf Krippner and headquartered in Leipzig, with branch offices in Delitzsch and Dresden (operated via the wholly-owned subsidiary Dresdner ProSoft GmbH). The company delivers full-service B2B IT to companies in the Saxony region, organized into six service competencies — IT-Consulting, Beratung & Planung, Vor-Ort-Service, Wartung & Helpdesk, Leasing, and Cloud Service Provider — and nine solution areas covering IT-Infrastruktur, Server & Storage, Hochverfügbarkeit, Virtualisierung (delivered through the Proxmox partnership), Mobiles Arbeiten, IT-Security, Digital Signage, WLAN, and Webdesign & Webseitenerstellung.

The underlying technology stack is conventional enterprise IT: open-source virtualization via the authorized Proxmox reseller relationship, Microsoft 365 and Adobe VIP as managed cloud subscriptions, hybrid cloud deployments with on-premises core backed by local backup, endpoint and UTM security through ESET-aligned partnerships, and document/printing infrastructure via Kyocera (Partner Plus) and Brother (3-year on-site warranty). Both entities hold ISO 9001:2015 certification.

The business model blends three revenue streams — one-time hardware sales (servers, storage, networking), recurring managed services and cloud subscriptions (Microsoft 365, Adobe VIP, hybrid cloud), and professional services (consulting, on-site service, maintenance, helpdesk) — with leasing offered to preserve customer liquidity. Distribution is exclusively direct, executed through the three regional offices serving enterprise clients such as BMW AG Werk Leipzig, Verbundnetz Gas AG, TU Dresden, Leipziger Messe GmbH, Landeshauptstadt Dresden, Ontras Gastransport GmbH, and DSD Industrie Rohrtechnik GmbH. Leadership transitioned from founder Ralf Krippner to Managing Director Richard Wohlfeld and Branch Manager Michael Krippner in December 2021.
