These two transactions underscore our continuing strategy of advancing to become the midmarket sector‘s leading provider of cloud services, to include the sales, marketing and human resources lines of business. What’s more, and with the establishment of the company ALLFOYE Managementberatung GmbH, Düsseldorf, we have laid the foundation to go beyond information technology and also position our customers’ strategies, business models, organisations and corporate cultures for the future as they undergo digital transformation«, said All for One Steeb CFO Stefan Land.

In the financial year 2017/18, All for One Steeb again wants to capitalise on the momentum for greater sustained growth and invest heavily in both expanding its cloud portfolio and its proprietary industry solutions for SAP S/4HANA as the digital core system. This should enable recurring revenues to improve continuously into the future and strengthen the business model.
