In the business world of tomorrow, competitive advantages are challenged daily by rapid technological revolutions. The industry leadership of any company is therefore directly related to its IT competence.
With our vision: "Scoring competitive advantage through innovative IT" we set new requirements for our future-strong system house. This makes Netpoint not only an executor of service measures, but also a partner for constant innovation.
As a service provider for global corporations, we have a major influence on the productivity of our customers. In doing so, we turn the most important adjusting screws every day in order to offer our customers the best IT! This requires a high degree of precision; we have to be very familiar with the smallest details, because they have a big impact. Our communication must therefore not be superficial or flow around the corner - we communicate precisely and in a direct way.
Networking is undoubtedly our core business, but it's not just our computers that are networked - we are too. We know that great results are a result of seamless collaboration, and we achieve that not only internally, but also with and at our customers. We work in partnership with all stakeholders and think beyond connected. We think united!
In no other industry is thinking ahead as important as in IT. We have to deal with tomorrow's issues today in order to secure our customers' technological progress in the long term. That's why we are hungry for knowledge and always on the lookout for a better solution. In doing so, we like to look beyond current areas of IT to drive innovation not by necessity, but with our vision!
Netpoint was founded in 1993 by Jürgen Peeters and Werner Zumbrägel, who are still managing partners today. Netpoint ISS followed in 2004 and in 2008 Netpoint IT Services in Mobile, Alabama was added.
Netpoint's services cover large parts of the IT in companies. Both existing and next generation technologies from various manufacturers are taken into account. Netpoint has established Competence Centers to meet this task and the requirements of rapid technology development. These service areas bundle the know-how of the specialists and guarantee competent and professional consulting.
Depending on the customer's requirements, project teams are formed that act flexibly across technologies and thus provide reliable and competent support. Netpoint employees are highly qualified specialists who are always up to date through regular training and further education in order to be able to provide Netpoint customers with the expected added value.
