Strengthening and expanding competencies in the field of Big Data & AI: JOIN(+) becomes part of TIMETOACT GROUP

Cologne/Villingen-Schwenningen, 11 December 2024 – TIMETOACT GROUP, a leading provider of IT services for the upper mid-sized-market companies, corporations and public institutions, is acquiring JOIN(+), an experienced consulting firm in the field of Big Data & AI. The two managing directors of JOIN(+) will continue to manage the company after the transaction and will be responsible for its integration into the TIMETOACT GROUP.

TIMETOACT GROUP, headquartered in Cologne, comprises specialised IT companies at 30 locations in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, as well as in Latvia, Malaysia, Singapore, Spain, Ukraine, Hungary and the USA. With over 1,350 employees and a comprehensive portfolio of software and consulting services, the digitisation expert primarily concentrates on mediumsized and large companies in the industrial, financial and service sectors, as well as public institutions.

With offices in Villingen-Schwenningen, Ittlingen and Konstanz, JOIN(+) GmbH is an established IT consulting service provider which has been operating for over 25 years. JOIN(+) Acts as a technical consulting and implementation partner to support customers in a range of industries in the DACH region. The company specialises in business analytics, business intelligence, Big Data & AI, and data visualisation, and is able to draw on highly trained employees who work every day to fulfil the company's mission of focusing on quality, flexibility and trust.

Jürgen Lutz (Managing Director of JOIN(+)), Felix Binsack (Managing Director of TIMETOACT GROUP) and Erich Anhut (Managing Director of JOIN(+))

The current managing directors of JOIN(+), Erich Anhut and Jürgen Lutz, will continue to manage JOIN(+) and integrate it into TIMETOACT GROUP. In the decision-making process, agreement was quickly reached and common synergy and growth potential was identified, especially with TIMETOACT GROUP's own AI and Big Data expertise.

The takeover of JOIN(+) is already the tenth successfully completed acquisition for TIMETOACT GROUP since the Equistone funds acquired a majority stake in the business in June 2021 and marks another important growth step for the group.

I am particularly pleased that EverIT and catworkx are now coming together and joining forces in Hungary and Eastern Europe. EverIT ideally complements catworkx's capabilities and now also offers completely new opportunities for tenders in Europe. This solidifies catworkx's position as the leading Atlassian partner in the DACH region and in Europe.

Erich Anhut Managing Director JOIN(+)

"The merger also increases stability and planning security for our employees and allows us to offer new development perspectives and exchange opportunities with many international experts. With TIMETOACT GROUP, we will be able to accelerate the growth we’ve had in the last few years and invest more specifically in the training of our employees in new technologies," adds Jürgen Lutz, Managing Director of JOIN(+). 

"The acquisition of JOIN(+) is an important step in expanding our Data & AI portfolio. With Erich and Jürgen, we have also gained two highly motivated managers and are very pleased to be able to further develop TIMETOACT GROUP together," says Frank Fuchs, Co-Managing Director of TIMETOACT GROUP.

Through the merger with JOIN(+), we are gaining a highly competent and dynamic team, who perfectly complement TIMETOACT GROUP culturally. The acquisition supports our offering to our customers and gives us broad and cross-manufacturer consulting expertise in the key growth area of Data & AI.

Felix Binsack Co-Managing Director TIMETOACT GROUP
