Qurius integrates its German subsidiaries

20 November 2008 – Qurius is integrating its various German subsidiaries into one entity and will restructure its business lines. The former companies Cabus, Watermark and Wilhelm + Zeller that currently act as Qurius Solutions GmbH in Hamburg, Qurius Deutschland GmbH in Hannover and Qurius Deutschland AG in Ravensburg will be bundled in one new company including their current subsidiaries. The new founded Qurius Deutschland AG will have 250 employees, of which around 100 will be working at the new main office in Hamburg. The other employees will operate from twelve locations across Germany.

New structure enforces strategy

The new board of directors will consist of Kay P. Laukat, CEO and head of the board, Christian Schneider, CFO, responsible for finance administration, and Thomas Zeller, COO, responsible for the daily operations.

"The new business structure is a modern matrix organisation with strong customer orientation that demonstrates our competencies as a professional IT service company. In addition to that we are very near to our customers due to a fine net of service points all over Germany," says Kay Laukat. "The updated organisation streamlines and optimises our industry and international market strategy. Qurius has a clear focus: to be the leading IT company in Europe delivering integrated business solutions based on Microsoft technology."

Market view

Qurius Germany maintains long-term partnerships with leading IT companies such as Microsoft, Infor Business Solutions, Fujitsu-Siemens und Citrix. Qurius also cooperates with a number of smaller software manufacturers, aiming to implement individual solutions and systems at customers which perfectly fit their needs. During this year Qurius concluded in a partnership with LS Retail, Sonapro and Perfion.

"We still have a clear focus on the small and medium enterprise market, but we also attract more and more international operating customers and larger enterprises," Kay Laukat explains. Meanwhile Qurius Germany services around 1,200 customers, in Europe more than 2,800.
