Pliezhausen, 22 August 2023. Following intense market observation and comparison with competitors, DATAGROUP has been awarded “Leader” status in the internationally renowned “Private/Hybrid Cloud – Data Center Services” study 2023 by ISG Provider Lens™ in the fields of “Managed Services for Midmarket” and “Managed Hosting for Midmarket”.

“DATAGROUP presents itself as a popular IT provider for midmarket companies, which undergoes continuous development and expansion”, Wolfgang Heinhaus, Distinguished Lead Analyst for IT Infrastructure Research & Consulting at ISG explains the decision for the award. That DATAGROUP excels in cloud services and is always prepared to provide forward-looking services is evident from the “Enterprise Cloud made in Germany” offering. The service stands for cloud services which are exclusively hosted in data centers in Germany with no data being submitted to foreign countries. Furthermore, DATAGROUP’s employees and processes around enterprise cloud are certified according to the highest German standards. And the hardware and software used for the cloud services also meets the highest requirements.

ISG has also been convinced by the full-service offering of DATAGROUP. “DATAGROUP presents a versatile modular system of standardized IT outsourcing services providing everything customers could possibly need for seamless and efficient IT operations in their companies”, Wolfgang Heinhaus of ISG continues. This full-service concept holds true for both the entire corporate IT, which is reflected in the CORBOX service portfolio of DATAGROUP, and the cloud services which form an integral part. It is a competitive differentiator of DATAGROUP that the cloud is placed at the customer’s disposal fully configured and ready to operate. After that, the DATAGROUP experts also ensure the smooth operations and can provide a large number of managed services in the cloud such as application management.

“This outstanding positioning by ISG is proof of our excellent products for midmarket companies around the theme of cloud. We do not only provide top notch services, but it is also especially the coordinated interaction of our cloud solutions that makes it stand out. The award also proves that our focus with an independent “Enterprise Cloud made in Germany” pays off”, says Andreas Baresel, Chief Executive Officer of DATAGROUP.

The current research of ISG, a leading global technology research and advisory firm, demonstrates the strengths, challenges and competitive differentiators of providers of managed services and colocation services in Germany. The “Managed Services for Midmarket” segment assesses a provider’s ability to offer ongoing management services for private and hybrid clouds and traditional data center infrastructure and platforms. The “Managed Hosting for Midmarkets” segment assesses the offers for standalone hosting solutions for midmarket customers.
