Chapter I — What we do

Run. Maintain. Evolve.

  • Workstations & devices
  • Branch networking
  • Procurement & setup
  • On-site service

Chapter II — What we believe

1.

Our own servers in Germany

Hetzner data centers and hardware on your premises — no US cloud in between.

2.

Open source instead of lock-in

Nextcloud, Kubernetes, Mattermost & co. — software nobody can take away from you.

3.

GDPR by design

Data protection is an architecture decision, not a PDF filed after the fact.

4.

Exit guarantee

Your data is fully exportable at any time. You stay because it works — not because you have to.

“You stay because it works — not because you have to. That is the difference between a vendor and a partner.”

Lennard Finsterbusch, founder of hansenexus
