Funds advised by AUCTUS have invested in SMASER AG as well as STRANET AG to jointly form a market leader in the field of digitalization – the “DIGITAL VISION GROUP”.
The aim of DIGITAL VISION GROUP is to realize the digital potential of medium-sized and large companies and to cover the increasing needs of companies that are before or in the middle of their digitization projects. Currently, there is hardly any IT company on the market that is able to flexibly and comprehensively cover the associated complex requirements for functioning cloud and IoT services. As an end-to-end service provider, Digital Vision Group offers solutions for the areas of IoT, hybrid and multi-cloud, from consulting and integration to managed services.
Together with AUCTUS, the strong growth of both companies is to be continued. Central to this is the holistic customer-oriented approach of consulting, development and operation from a single source, which is to be driven forward both by the development of new solutions and by strategic acquisitions of first-class market competitors.
“We are delighted about the support and trust of AUCTUS Capital Partner AG and look forward to a successful joint journey towards a digital future,” was the joint statement from Steffen Zulauf, CEO SMASER AG and Dr. Jörg Rieckmann, CEO STRANET AG. Peer Weder, Investment Manager at AUCTUS adds, “Especially in the exciting combination of STRANET and SMASER, DIGITAL VISION GROUP forms an excellent nucleus for us in the field of IoT in combination with deep Industry X and multi-cloud expertise.”
