Projects

Your vision, our solution.
We take care of your IT while you focus on your core business.
Whether it’s networking your sites, business transformations or general maintenance of your IT infrastructure.

Site networking

We connect your company’s locations – worldwide and securely. In this way, we create the basis for successful co-working across location boundaries. Our VPN solution offers you a flexible option for networked work, both for fixed connections and for dial-in on the move (remote access).

We use the secure OpenVPN standard for encryption of communication, but also provide IPSEC connections if required. End-to-end encryption ensures that third parties cannot gain unnoticed access to sensitive data. Our maintenance agreement guarantees that security vulnerabilities are quickly identified and professionally fixed.

Business Transformation

Companies are changing. We change your IT appropriately.

Both merger and carve-out projects transform the company into new organizational structures. We provide support by setting up suitable IT and ERP solutions, removing them from previous structures and integrating them into the new structure. After implementation, our professional IT support is there to help you with any questions or problems – even around the clock if necessary.

Merger and Carve-Outs

Following the merger or separation of companies, it is necessary to work out in detail how the new IT structure is to be set up and what the path to it will look like. In a merger, the buyer usually specifies the target structure, so that a migration of the existing environment of the purchased (part of the) company must be planned. We support you in the development of the appropriate concept.

  • Network migration (WAN, MPLS, VPN)
  • Microsoft Active Directory Migration
  • Microsoft Exchange Migration
  • SAP Migration

In the case of carve-outs, a completely separate IT infrastructure is often required because the company IT remains with the seller. A new IT landscape can then be built according to "best practices". However, it should also be noted here that data must be transferred and a certain compatibility must be ensured. We have already successfully implemented many such projects.

Of course, we also have the right hardware and software: The bitformer team has many years of experience in setting up and rebuilding complex IT infrastructures. We take care of the professional setup and configuration of new systems, but also the transfer and integration of existing software solutions into target structures, e.g. during a merger.
