SAP outsourcing: From Cologne to New Zealand

Just imagine: It's 6 p.m. in Frankfurt. An SAP manager finishes his working day, takes one last look at the system dashboard - and breathes a sigh of relief.

It is a clear, almost poetic rhythm: day in Europe, night in New Zealand. While the screens go out in Germany, they come on on the other side of the world: In Hamilton, New Zealand, the Centrix team starts its shift in the morning - always one step, one day, ahead. While Europe sleeps, Centrix ensures that processes run smoothly: systems are monitored, updates are installed, faults are rectified and maintenance work is completed - so that companies in the DACH region can rely on functioning systems and stable processes in the morning.

Downtimes at a 24-hour glance

For customers, this means continuous support, higher availability and significantly reduced downtime. Many describe Centrix as „a second IT department - just in a different time zone“. This continuous support has proven to be a decisive added value, especially for companies that rely on SAP systems and place great importance on operational reliability. Centrix does not stand for classic outsourcing, but for partnership-based cooperation.

The teams in New Zealand and Europe share the same language, the same values and a common understanding of quality and service. Despite a distance of 18,000 kilometers, there is a working atmosphere based on trust and closeness - just like between colleagues in the same building.

The employees also benefit: Many specialists from Germany have found career prospects in New Zealand that go hand in hand with an exceptional quality of life. The country offers ideal conditions for combining challenging IT work with a balanced, family-friendly lifestyle.

Almost two decades after the company's launch - and Stefan Mayer's appearance on the TV show „Die Auswanderer“ - Centrix is now an established partner for SAP customers throughout the DACH region. From a bold decision and a vision, a company has grown that embodies reliability, competence and consistency.

Sound sleep for SAP users

For Managing Director Stefan Mayer, the goal remains unchanged: to ensure maximum stability, trust and security. Or, as he succinctly puts it: „Our customers don't just buy SAP support - they buy a peaceful night's sleep.
