About synaforce

synaforce is a full-service IT provider with over 200 employees at five locations. The company emerged in 2023 from the merger of several regional IT specialists—including Hartl Group (founded in 1992), abakus IT, Trikom, and ITecon. Its key differentiator is its own TÜV Rheinland-certified data center (DIN EN 50600 Cat. III) in Hofkirchen, operating with a PUE of 1.1 and powered 100% by renewable energy. The portfolio includes colocation, private/hybrid cloud, managed services, a proprietary XDR security platform, and software solutions for healthcare, financial services, and the public sector.
