Over 4,400 employees ensure that the Bechtle success story continues.

IT System House & Managed Services

The Bechtle IT system houses provide our clients with strategic IT consultancy and also take care of hardware and software delivery, project planning and implementation, and even the complete operation of IT through Managed Services. Competence Centres with cross-regional availability and training centres in 19 locations complement our services. No other business in Germany or Switzerland can boast of such a strategically well-placed network of locations like ours. This same strategy of regional presence is also our goal for the Austrian market.
