Ingmar Bergmann, Regionalmanager Region East
"A high potential of skilled labour, especially from the universities and colleges in the Saxon region, was an advantage for us. There is also a good investment climate for SMEs, thanks to the support of the SAB, which helped us a lot ... The discussions and advice provided by Invest Region Leipzig GmbH also helped us."
ITVT Business Solutions Leipzig GmbH moved into its new offices in Leipzig at the turn of the year 2019/2020. As a certified Microsoft partner, including a partner in the 2019/2020 INNERCIRCLE for Microsoft Business Applications, the company primarily offers IT solutions for various industries and their business areas: "We support customers from the energy supply, telecommunications, services, manufacturing and chemical industries. Our service portfolio includes CRM solutions, ERP systems, infrastructure offerings and AI solutions. We draw on Microsoft Dynamics 365 products, among others, and customise them to suit the industry and customer. We also provide support for the subsequent operation of the solution," says Ingmar Bergmann, Regional Manager Region East, describing the remit of the Leipzig branch.
The company has been based in Leonberg near Stuttgart since 2001. With just over 170 employees, there are branches in Karlsruhe, Kiel, Hamburg, Essen and Munich in addition to Leipzig. Outside Germany, ITVT is represented in the Netherlands, USA and China.
The conditions that the city offers spoke in favour of Leipzig as a location: "A high potential of skilled workers, especially due to the universities and colleges in the Saxon region, was an advantage for us. There is also a good investment climate for medium-sized companies, thanks to the support of the SAB, which helped us a lot," says Ingmar Bergmann. "The discussions and advice provided by Invest Region Leipzig GmbH also helped us," he explains.
"ITVT already has its first projects with customers in the region. Our aim is to develop a far-reaching and stable customer base in the region. We see great opportunities here to develop further in the areas of energy, telecommunications, industry and services," explains the regional manager. The current thinking is to become an ERP competence cluster within ITVT at the site.
The team at the location is to be significantly expanded: "We have advertised many positions for Leipzig. The focus is on ERP, CRM and cloud technology based on Microsoft technologies. We are looking for new employees in this area, from project management to consulting, development and support. We are open to all categories: from interns and working students to graduates and experts with professional experience," says Ingmar Bergmann. The aim is to at least double the current number of ten employees at the growth location in Leipzig.
