We are excited to share the news of CBTW’s expansion in Germany through the acquisition of IT Frankfurt. This strategic move enhances CBTW’s software engineering capabilities in the German-speaking market and strengthens our commitment to delivering comprehensive solutions to our valued customers.

Strengthening Software Engineering Capabilities

IT Frankfurt has built a solid reputation as a specialist in technical architectures and software solutions for enterprise environments. Their expertise and successful collaborations with esteemed clients like Commerzbank, Société Générale, LBBW, and Amadeus make them an ideal partner for CBTW. Together, we will further enhance our software engineering capabilities.

Comprehensive Solutions for Customer Success

With the acquisition of IT Frankfurt, CBTW strengthens its software engineering capabilities in the German-speaking market and expands its range of services to offer an even broader spectrum of solutions. In addition to the existing portfolio, which includes data & analytics solutions, cloud services, digital product design, business analysis, and change management, we now bring IT Frankfurt’s technical architectures and software expertise into our offerings. This integration allows us to address our clients’ complex needs across various industries while continuing to provide the comprehensive solutions they have come to rely on.

Unifying Expertise for Seamless Delivery

At CBTW, we pride ourselves on offering end-to-end solutions to our clients. With the integration of IT Frankfurt into our Positive Thinking Company brand, we consolidate our software engineering resources and expertise, enabling seamless and efficient project delivery. This integration harnesses the collaborative strength of the global CBTW ecosystem, ensuring that our clients receive tailored solutions and exceptional service.

Growth and Integration

The acquisition of IT Frankfurt marks a significant milestone in our growth journey. It expands our presence in Germany, with a larger team now spread across Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich, and our nearshore center in the Czech Republic. Our brands, Positive Thinking Company, SteepConsult, and Versett, will continue to operate independently, allowing us to optimize software engineering resources while preserving their unique identities and offerings.

A Smooth Transition and Exciting Opportunities

We are thrilled to have IT Frankfurt’s founders join our team, ensuring a seamless integration of services, knowledge, and expertise. Their invaluable contributions will further strengthen our capabilities and enable us to provide even more comprehensive support to our clients. We are committed to fostering a collaborative and inclusive environment where everyone has the opportunity to grow and excel.
