CANCOM Austria

The two ICT service providers will become one of the leading companies in the DACH region with over 5,600 employees As of today, two leading digital transformation partners are combining their expertise in the ICT segment in the focus markets of Germany, Austria and Switzerland. CANCOM SE , headquartered in Munich , is one of the top IT system houses in Germany. CANCOM has been accompanying companies, organizations and the public sector into the digital future since 1992. As a hybrid IT service provider with 4,000 employees at around 60 locations in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium and Slovakia, the listed company generated annual sales of 1.3 billion euros in 2022. K-Businesscom AG (until 2022 Kapsch Businesscom AG) employs 1,650 people in the DACH region, Romania and the Czech Republic. Revenues in 2022/23 amounted to EUR 520 million. The merger will create one of the leading IT companies in the DACH region and the companies' customers will benefit from bundled expertise in IT and digitalization solutions, related services and the operation of IT systems. The two companies have similar business focuses and are also very complementary in many areas with their service and solutions portfolios. CANCOM is positioned as a specialist for digital workplace, cloud solutions and ICT managed services, among other things. K-Businesscom contributes its know-how as a digital business engineer for IT and business consulting and software development, as well as its expertise in intelligent networks and IT security with its own KBC Cyber Defense Center. With a broad partner landscape of both companies, an international ecosystem of leading global ICT players such as Microsoft, Apple, AWS, SAP, Cisco and HP, with whom both companies already have long-standing partnerships, paired with providers of industry solutions, is now being created. The comprehensive portfolio of services will benefit existing customers and also open up new market potential. "We have long been looking for a way to bring the CANCOM Group into a noticeably stronger market position, particularly in Austria and Switzerland, more quickly than would have been possible through organic growth. The customer structures, the service portfolio, the corporate cultures and the visions for the future represent a unique starting position for us to jointly tackle the growth potential of the DACH market. That is why we and the shareholders of K-Businesscom immediately seized the opportunity to work together," said Rüdiger Rath, CEO of CANCOM SE. Dr. Franz Semmernegg, CEO of K-Businesscom adds: "We see the greatest joint growth potential in our ICT service models (XaaS), especially in the area of cyber security. The general shortage of skilled workers coupled with constantly growing demands on IT departments and increasingly complex threat scenarios mean that companies and institutions are turning to the combined expertise and services of external ICT specialists." Both companies address focus sectors such as healthcare, public and manufacturing industry and develop digital industry solutions with and for their customers. The integration of K-Businesscom into CANCOM creates a leading hybrid ICT service provider with growth potential in the DACH region. K-Businesscom is planning to further expand its market share in Switzerland in particular. The first steps in this direction have already been taken: last week K-Businesscom acquired 100% of the shares in the owner-managed Belsoft Infortix AG. The system integrator with a focus on data centers, networks and security is based in Zurich and has branches in Pfäffikon and Basel. It has 35 employees and a turnover of around EUR 12 million. "The merger with CANCOM marks a milestone in our DACH growth strategy ," explains Jochen Borenich, CEO of K-Businesscom. "Together, we have the opportunity to actively shape the digital transformation as a leading provider in Europe's strongest economic region. Thanks to our technological expertise of over 5,600 employees in combination with our scalable platforms, we can provide our customers with comprehensive support from consulting to secure operation and thus make a significant contribution to the digital competitiveness of the DACH region and Europe. " The close integration and joint path of the two companies will also be reflected in the management and Supervisory Board: Rüdiger Rath and Thomas Stark will join the Supervisory Board of K-Businesscom AG and Jochen Borenich will become a member of the Executive Board (CSO) of the CANCOM SE Group. Franz Semmernegg will remain CEO of KBC and will continue to lead the company with the existing, successful management team.

Vienna, 14.10.2022 - The Medical University of Graz and digitalization specialist K-Businesscom have entered into a research partnership. In future, artificial intelligence will help hospitals to ensure that medication is administered seamlessly. Background: Every year, thousands of people worldwide die due to incorrect medication in hospital. On the wards, there is a high risk of confusion when dispensing medication in several places. Smart Medication aims to eliminate this safety problem. "There are still too many errors in the allocation of medication in hospitals - this gap needs to be closed quickly," says Priv.-Doz. Dr. Gerald Sendlhofer, Head of Quality and Risk Management, University Hospital Graz. In this situation, algorithms that cannot tire are perfect for supporting the busy staff. Four-eyes principle for administering medication "In our joint research project, funded by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG), we are focusing on the dual control principle of man and machine for safe medication - using intelligent image recognition processes," says Michael Baumgartner, Head of Business Consulting, Health and Social Care at K-Businesscom. The first step is to create a comprehensive database of the most frequently prescribed medications. Later, the AI will access this when the boxes of medication are dispensed to patients. The technology then automatically checks whether the correct medication is in the dispenser in the correct dosage. To do this, the information is compared with the electronic patient file. Seamlessly safeguarding the "last few meters" to the hospital bed "Our research project focuses in particular on the 'last few meters' of the medication's journey to the patient," says Baumgartner. "We are investigating how digital technology can specifically improve everyday hospital life here." At the same time, the contribution of smart assistants that are already in daily use is to be measured. For example, the digital ward round trolley contains a personal "medication safe". At the start of the ward round, the nurse scans the barcode on the patient's wrist. Only then does the electronic patient file and the individual medication compartment open - no mix-ups. The research partners want to spend two years investigating the tangible benefits of such digital helpers. "We have already worked together excellently during the one-and-a-half year preparation period," says Priv.-Doz. Dr. Sendlhofer. "We are already looking forward to the new insights into how medication can be managed safely in the clinic in future."

Save costs with "Energy Management 4.0" Vienna, November 10, 2021 - CO2 emissions will cost the economy more money if the Paris climate protection targets are met. In industry in particular, it is now important to reduce energy consumption to the necessary minimum and optimize the CO2 footprint. With digital "Energy Management 4.0", the experts at K-Businesscom are helping to track down hidden consumption and save costs with the networked factory. "Companies that want to increase their energy efficiency should start by measuring their current energy footprint," says Roland Ambrosch, Head of Digital Factory at K-Businesscom. The key to this is modern sensors that detect energy leaks or unnecessary standby consumption. "With the help of sensor technology, we often detect the hidden consumption of electricity, liquids or compressed air, for example, in manufacturing processes." Automated energy management Once such cost drivers have been identified as part of "energy monitoring", consumption can then be precisely adapted to the respective machine and order data under digital control. This is where intelligent production comes in: Starting with the largest energy consumers, all processes are coordinated so that only the resources that are actually needed are used. Cost savings of 20 percent through fine-tuning of processes "In practice, we often see in machining or in the plastics and food industries, for example, that a large efficiency lever can be applied to cooling and heating processes - there is great potential for savings here, especially when the seasons change," says Ambrosch. If only the temperatures actually required are reached, energy savings of up to 20 percent can be achieved. Using residual energy sustainably Every tonne of CO2 released will incur regulatory costs in the EU in future - increasing the pressure to optimize energy flows in production. The residual energy that is saved - and often already paid for - can also be used sustainably, for example for e-mobility or the production of steam. This further improves the CO2 balance. Carbon footprint is a competitive advantage The carbon footprint already serves as an important selection criterion today - for example when awarding contracts or loans. "Companies that systematically optimize their energy management improve their carbon footprint - this is an increasingly important competitive advantage when it comes to attracting customers, partners or suppliers. This trend will gain even more momentum with the introduction of CO2 pricing," says Ambrosch. The introduction of intelligent energy management is supported at national and international level by funding programs.
