Why now? Over recent months, the teams of Aident and innovis had already combined processes, skills, and projects. The merger is the "consequent continuation of this development," the company said, cementing a working relationship it described as long-standing.
What's the endgame? By pooling resources, know-how, and structures, innovis aims to simplify processes, capture synergies, and strengthen its capacity for complex ERP and digitalisation work. The combined firm plans to deepen its focus on ERP solutions and the implementation of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
What changes for customers? Nothing fundamental, according to innovis. Existing contacts, skills, and services remain in place under one organisational roof, with the merger promising closer integration of both firms' expertise.
"The cooperation between the employees of both companies has long been a lived reality. With the merger, we are now also creating the legal framework that reflects our common direction," said Thomas Lindner, managing director of the ACS Group (translated from German).
The signal: The tie-up reflects continued consolidation among Germany's mid-market IT service providers, as firms bundle capabilities to take on larger digital transformation projects.
