All for One Steeb AG Acquires Majority Stake in Microsoft Cloud Technology
Company WEBMAXX GmbH
Specialised technology expertise bought in / E-mail and collaboration
software increasingly considered mission critical along with SAP Business
Suite / Growth market Microsoft messaging from the Private Cloud /
Successful completion of qualification as Microsoft»Gold Hosting«partner
/ Service expansion to benefit customer base
Filderstadt, 5 July 2013 - As part of measures by Munich-based WEBMAXX GmbH
to raise capital, All for One Steeb AG is taking over around 74% of the
shareholdings, and in turn a majority stake in this Microsoft cloud
technology company. Around 26% of the shareholdings remain with the
managing partner Christian Schmidt, who will stay on as a member of the
company's management team. The participation agreement that was signed on 4
July 2013 also includes an option to increase the stake to 100% of the
shares, which All for One Steeb can first exercise beginning from 2020.
Both companies had previously been working together on a project basis.
All for One Steeb is the Number 1 in the German-speaking SAP midmarket
segment with the largest customer base. In addition to SAP Business Suite,
enterprises are increasingly considering their messaging software from
Microsoft, such as for e-mail (Exchange) or collaboration (Sharepoint,
Lync), as being mission critical. This is why we are seeing growing demands
on stability, availability and reliability. Along with SAP landscapes,
Microsoft solutions such as these are increasingly moving into the private
cloud and being run and managed in the All for Steeb high-end data centers.
Extensive portal landscapes are being used to scale such services toward
many thousands of users, and to provide customers with a high degree of
customised and flexible usage, elasticity and combinability with public
cloud services. Here is precisely where the technology specialist WEBMAXX
has such exceptional expertise.»Cloud computing is changing the CIO's role. Application landscapes are
increasingly being outsourced, which allows extensions and enhancements to
be made more rapidly, flexibly and securely. Our strong customer focus
enables us to identify and act on other key issues besides SAP Business
Suite and SAP Cloud Solutions. Microsoft Exchange is clearly mission
critical. Its operation is complex. Compliance requirements are expanding.
Even the latest leaks about global surveillance operations may well
reinforce the trend toward outsourcing to our data centers in Germany. This
is an area in which we want to use the WEBMAXX technology expertise to more
rapidly unlock additional scaling capabilities and growth potential«, said
All for One Steeb CEO Lars Landwehrkamp. All for One Steeb was recently
named a Microsoft»Gold Hosting«partner after completing an extensive
qualification phase and in recognition of its innovative customer solutions
and services on the basis of Microsoft technologies.
