<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\nq.beyond is thus finally parting with its colocation business in Munich and Nuremberg. IP Exchange was already successfully sold at the end of July 2021. The investment-intensive colocation business had not been in q.beyond's strategic focus for some time. For this reason, various options for this area have been developed and examined since spring 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Management Board member J\u00fcrgen Hermann explains the decision that has now been taken: \"The sale is the optimal solution for all parties involved.<\/em>\"q.beyond can focus entirely on its core cloud, SAP and IoT business, and the IP Exchange team, together with NorthC Group, can ideally leverage its strengths in the colocation market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Hermann explains: \"With a successful sale, we reduce complexity, increase our room for maneuver and sharpen our positioning.<\/em>\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n The data centers at the Hamburg site, where q.beyond bundles its managed services business and provides private cloud solutions for its medium-sized customers, remain part of the core business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Appian acquires Lana Labs, the German provider and developer of the process mining platform of the same name.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Lana focuses on complex business processes. At the same time, the application delivers powerful AI and machine learning-supported process analyses, low-code integration and user-friendliness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Lana customers spend less time consolidating data and more time identifying process inefficiencies. With the addition of native process mining, Appian now offers a comprehensive low-code automation suite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \"There is a natural synergy between process mining, process modeling and automation<\/em>\", says Matt Calkins, CEO of Appian. \"Appian helps its customers move from knowledge to action within a unified suite.<\/em>\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n Financial conditions are not disclosed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Valantic expands its business activities in Europe.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To this end, Valantic is joining forces with the Dutch ISM eCompany. ISM is one of the leading full-service agencies for digital commerce strategy, online marketing and webshop design in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Valantic CX powerhouse is strengthened by more than 130 ISM digital commerce specialists and online marketing consultants. Together, ISM and Valantic serve the vast majority of all relevant e-commerce platforms and technologies such as Magento, Shopware and Spryker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Clients benefit from consulting services that cover the entire life cycle from strategy, branding and marketing to development and hosting. ISM designs and develops customized digital commerce solutions on tried-and-tested platforms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n With ISM's solutions, companies can achieve their desired results as quickly and smoothly as possible with maximum return on investment (ROI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n ISM CEO Niek Bosua emphasizes: \"We were looking for a partner that would allow us to maintain our DNA while sharing our vision of serving our clients as a full-service provider to maximize their success in digital commerce. We wanted a partner that would complement our expertise and help us achieve our goal of further expanding our customer base and service portfolio. We are delighted to have found that partner in Valantic.<\/em>\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n Synnex and Tech Data announced the successful completion of their merger. The merged company is now called TD Synnex and will be led by Rich Hume as CEO. Dennis Polk, former CEO of Synnex, is Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors of TD Synnex. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Together, customers and dealers have access to a global distribution platform with offerings in some of the largest and most profitable product segments. TD Synnex offers the ability to accelerate technology adoption, diversify revenue streams, create cross-selling opportunities and bring comprehensive as-a-service offerings to market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n TD Synnex will have two main locations: Fremont, California, and Clearwater, Florida - the U.S. locations with the largest concentration of employees. The company will continue to maintain other key locations in the US. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tech Data Corporation was previously wholly owned by funds managed by subsidiaries of Apollo Global Management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Eccenca and MHP enter into a technological partnership for agile data utilization in mobility and manufacturing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The collaboration is a direct response to the challenges in the automotive and manufacturing sector of using data across systems. It focuses on the scalable use of artificial intelligence (AI) to enable the seamless use and reuse of data beyond individual silos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Eccenca will support MHP in building a scalable and powerful data operating system for its customers that meets the requirements for automation, improved customer experience and sustainable efficiency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Christian Stapel, Partner for Data and Technology at MHP, comments: \"Eccenca is a leader in the development of solutions that seamlessly network data, enrich it with expert knowledge and build bridges between different networks and platforms. As a Porsche subsidiary and process supplier, MHP has been supporting IT transformations along the entire value chain for 25 years with its consulting approach of a symbiosis of management and IT consulting and as an automotive and digitalization expert.<\/em>\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n q.beyond verkauft Colocation-Tochter Die \u00dcbernahme der q.beyond-Tochter bringt den Verkaufsprozess s\u00e4mtlicher Colocation-Aktivit\u00e4ten zum erfolgreichen Abschluss. q.beyond verkauft ihre 100-prozentige Tochtergesellschaft IP Exchange f\u00fcr rund 44 Millionen Euro (Enterprise Value) an die NorthC Group Deutschland, ein Unternehmen des niederl\u00e4ndischen Rechenzen-trumbetreibers NorthC Group, der mit dem Kauf in den deutschen Markt expandiert. q.beyond trennt sich damit endg\u00fcltig […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":38,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"pmpro_default_level":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[40010,6],"tags":[39891,32189,38563,37297,31],"coauthors":[19920],"class_list":["post-109431","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mag-21-11","category-wirtschaft","tag-fusionen","tag-mhp","tag-q-beyond","tag-valantic","tag-wirtschaft","pmpro-has-access"],"acf":[],"featured_image_urls_v2":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","image-100":"","image-480":"","image-640":"","image-720":"","image-960":"","image-1168":"","image-1440":"","image-1920":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","trp-custom-language-flag":"","bricks_large_16x9":"","bricks_large":"","bricks_large_square":"","bricks_medium":"","bricks_medium_square":"","profile_24":"","profile_48":"","profile_96":"","profile_150":"","profile_300":""},"post_excerpt_stackable_v2":" Die \u00dcbernahme der q.beyond-Tochter bringt den Verkaufsprozess s\u00e4mtlicher Colocation-Aktivit\u00e4ten zum erfolgreichen Abschluss. q.beyond verkauft ihre 100-prozentige Tochtergesellschaft IP Exchange f\u00fcr rund 44 Millionen Euro (Enterprise Value) an die NorthC Group Deutschland, ein Unternehmen des niederl\u00e4ndischen Rechenzen-trumbetreibers NorthC Group, der mit dem Kauf in den deutschen Markt expandiert. q.beyond trennt sich damit endg\u00fcltig von ihrem Colocation-Gesch\u00e4ft in M\u00fcnchen und N\u00fcrnberg.
