The ranking is based on an independent survey of IT providers and customers. The 2026 survey included 4,761 participants, including 2,648 IT experts and 2,114 employees of IT customers – for example, IT staff in companies or those responsible for IT purchasing. Arvato Systems achieved excellent ratings across several categories, including cloud services, managed services & outsourcing, IT consulting, and software implementation & maintenance.
"Our renewed inclusion in this prestigious list shows that we are at the cutting edge with our portfolio and our understanding of consulting and services in the area of needs-based sovereignty with state-of-the-art technology," explains Marcus Metzner, Chief Marketing Officer at Arvato Systems. "The positive perception of our services by industry experts is both an incentive and confirmation for us."
Jochen Fuchs, Chief Human Resources Officer and Group General Counsel at Arvato Systems, emphasizes: "This award strengthens our position as an attractive employer and shows that we inspire both talent and customers alike. Our focus will therefore continue to be on setting standards in terms of technology and service."
The study considers only recommendations and assessments made by survey participants – direct applications by the companies evaluated are not possible. This means that Arvato Systems has been recognized as one of the top addresses in the German IT services market for the seventh time in a row.
