EEW Energy from Waste relies on outsourcing IT to DATAGROUP

Pliezhausen, 11 April 2024. EEW Energy from Waste GmbH (EEW), one of the
leading companies in waste disposal and energy supply in Germany, will make
use of full IT outsourcing in the cloud with DATAGROUP. The contract has a
term of five years and a volume of more than EUR 5m per year.

More than 1,400 employees at EEW will benefit from the IT services of
DATAGROUP. The company's infrastructure will be migrated from a classical
data center to a modern cloud environment with support being provided in the
form of private cloud services over the term of the contract. Furthermore,
DATAGROUP will take on logistics and client management of EEW's office IT
and provide on-site support for its employees. It is a full IT outsourcing
contract that also includes application management, network and Teams
telephony management as well as security services. EEW is currently going
through transition with DATAGROUP. The process is expected to be completed
at the end of the year.

"Our IT services focus on security and flexibility as core values,
especially in a time when IT is the basis of all business processes. We
offer our customers not only advanced technology solutions, but also
certainty that their business is secure and efficient in an ever-changing
digital landscape", says Andreas Baresel, Chief Executive Officer of
DATAGROUP. "For DATAGROUP, in turn, long-term contracts with customers
guarantee reliable income for many years."

"The strategic decision to migrate our IT infrastructure from a traditional
data center to the cloud ensures that we can respond fast and agile to new
or changing business requirements. In this context, we attach great
importance to the security of our IT system and to cost optimization",
explains Timo Poppe, CEO von EEW.
Scalability and flexibility of IT services will increase with DATAGROUP as a
partner at EEW's side, whilst the CO2 footprint will decrease due to the
shift of workload to energy-efficient hyperscalers and the use of
state-of-the-art workstation hardware.
