Growth Succession Partner
Growing Together – With Responsibility and Vision
digatus as a Sustainable and Value-Oriented Growth Succession Partner
We are an enthusiastic and cosmopolitan group of companies, people-friendly, with solid IT expertise and industry knowledge, extensive experience in all areas of business formation, acquisition, management and development, ‘thinker and leader qualities’ and strong implementation skills. digatus positions itself as a growth company, increasingly also in the area of inorganic growth, and relies on a strongly integrative approach.
As a platform for acquisitions and partnerships, we offer the opportunity – especially for ‘smaller’ IT consulting and service companies – to bundle businesses, develop and expand them together, and thus continue to grow as an IT service group. digatus seeks owner-managed, healthy, and profitable medium-sized companies with mature business models in the areas of IT consulting, IT operations/managed services, and software.
In addition to the classic short to medium-term succession solution, we particularly encourage and value long-term collaboration and joint development with experienced entrepreneurs.
Entrepreneurship with Responsibility
Mission Values
At digatus, our mission is characterized by a strong entrepreneurial spirit as the engine for growth.
Through close partnerships, we strive to create sustainable values while always focusing on people in our actions
Our actions are characterized by strong entrepreneurial thinking and acting. Pragmatism, the pursuit of new business models and business areas, as well as individual freedom of development determine our daily activities. Based on our success in recent years and the experience gained, we are convinced of ambitious, sustainable, and substantial growth.
Within the digatus Group, we focus on close collaboration and group-oriented action: this is how we understand the principle of ONEdigatus. With a focus on excellent service for our customers, we offer all core elements of the digital value chain from a single source as an IT service group with specialized units and industry focuses. Centralization through the shared service approach also leads to quality improvements and cost synergies. Technological exchange and promoting a network community of experts play an essential role in this.
In the digatus Group, people always come first. As a fast-growing group of companies, we encourage and support our colleagues to take initiative and responsibility, make mistakes, learn from them, and act like entrepreneurs: courageously, agilely, and independently. We offer our employees numerous benefits, always act on an equal footing, and value fairness and sympathy in our cooperation with employees, customers, suppliers, and investors.
