Lünendonk® study 2018: Sycor still among the leading midsize German IT consulting and system integration companies

(Göttingen) Overall 2017 was a very good year for all midsize IT consulting and system integration companies. The consulting firm Lünendonk & Hossenfelder determined that the 20 midsize system vendors generated sales of EUR 3.2 billion in 2017. That is a year-on-year increase of 12.8%. According to the study, this is due to the major consulting and project backlog in the fields of "Digital Transformation" and "Cyber Security". This is also where the greatest potential for midsize IT consulting firms lies, since they have the required know-how.
Sycor too was able to benefit from this trend, supporting its customers with appropriate digital transformation solutions. "Services, consulting, and customer service must fit together perfectly for our clients to be satisfied. These were precisely the factors that once again contributed to a considerable sales increase of nearly 19% in 2017, leading to this favorable positioning in the midfield of German consulting and system integration companies," exults Sven Frenzel, Chief Marketing Officer for the Sycor Group.

Currently Sycor has over 750 employees worldwide. The company is headquartered in Göttingen, Germany, with further locations in Germany, Austria, North America and Asia. Sycor increased its number of employees by 100 in the past financial year thanks to organic growth. After recently moving into a new building in Göttingen, the company is very well positioned for additional staff. The company recognized as a Great Place to Work® will also focus on employee orientation in the future. A favorable company culture and safeguarding high quality standards throughout the company will continue to ensure customer satisfaction and further growth going forward.
According to Lünendonk & Hossenfelder, the outlook for 2019 is excellent as well. IT consulting and system integration companies as a whole are looking to the future with optimism, expecting ongoing positive development with sales growth of 12.1%.
