It-works Gmbh

What It-works Gmbh does

IT-Works GmbH is an owner-managed German IT system house (IT-Systemhaus) founded in 2006 and headquartered in Uhingen, Baden-Württemberg, with an operational data center in Göppingen. The company delivers end-to-end IT services to small and medium-sized enterprises (SME), municipal governments, schools, and industrial/trade/service businesses, primarily in the Stuttgart/Göppingen/Ulm region with nationwide service reach in Germany. Its core offering is structured around Microsoft 365 (consulting, migration, management, workshops) bundled with a suite of managed services covering network security (WatchGuard), endpoint protection (ESET), backup and disaster recovery, mail archiving (GoBD-compliant), secure email, client management, enterprise password management, security awareness training, and cloud telephony (3CX hosted in its own German data center). The company acts as an IT-Generalunternehmer (general contractor), taking end-to-end responsibility from consultation and planning through procurement, installation, commissioning, and ongoing managed operations.

The business model blends three revenue streams: recurring managed services billed primarily annually in advance (with a 3–5% surcharge for monthly billing), project-based professional services billed on effort (time and materials), and one-time or recurring hardware/software sales and rentals, with Microsoft 365 licenses resold through Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider status. Go-to-market is sales-led and consultative, combining direct field sales for enterprise and public-sector accounts with inside sales for mid-market customers, supported by content marketing, social media, and a Microsoft partner co-marketing motion. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated per contract.

The company is privately held with no institutional investors, governed by three managing directors (Olaf Weißkopf, Daniel Spohn, Ulrich Fezer) plus Daniel Avgustinovic referenced in career materials, and operates with approximately 30 employees including 11 apprentices. Key vendor relationships include Microsoft (Solutions Partner Modern Work, Cloud Solution Provider), WatchGuard (Gold Partner), 3CX (certified partner), and ESET; the company also maintains a DHBW dual-student partnership and an IHK Region Stuttgart training award from 2023. IT-Works is operationally active, with ongoing recruitment, recurring product launches (notably Managed Password Safe, Managed Security Awareness, and 3CX Cloud Telephony between 2024 and 2026), and a recently announced regional sponsorship of 1. Göppinger Sportverein (October 2025).
