Mergers, Acquisitions, Partnerships - February 2022

Expanded market portfolio

BTC expands its SAP consulting capacities and strengthens its regional foothold in the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region.

BTC and Five1 signed the purchase agreement that seals the 100% takeover of the data analytics and data science experts from Baden-Württemberg by BTC. The Five1 site is located in the immediate vicinity of SAP in Walldorf. The acquisition of Five1 is part of BTC's growth strategy to grow both organically and inorganically in order to meet the increased digitization needs of its customers and to expand its own market portfolio to include SAP Analytics and Data Science.

"BTC is thus expanding its expertise in the field of data analytics and can offer new data science solutions"says Jörg Ritter, CEO of BTC. Five1 was founded in 2008 by four shareholders, each holding a 25 percent stake in the company. In order to fully map customer requirements, the start-up developed professional products to complement SAP solutions and close existing gaps in the SAP portfolio.

In 2016, the medium-sized company from Walldorf also began to include the areas of big data and data science projects in cooperation with AWS (Amazon Web Services) in its service portfolio. The three managing directors Christophe Mutzig, Marcel Salein and Sven Zech continue to manage the new BTC subsidiary in Walldorf.
