The private equity firm makes targeted investments in software and technology-oriented service providers in order to sustainably promote their growth and market transformation.

Growth with a tailwind

With the support of PSG Equity, QualityHosting plans to significantly expand its range of cloud, security and AI-based managed services for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The aim is to improve the digital experience for SMEs, expand the product portfolio and further drive automation in the Microsoft ecosystem.

QualityHosting currently supports over 15,000 SMEs and more than 1,000 IT partners and offers comprehensive Microsoft cloud distribution and managed services via a platform developed in-house.

Christian Heit, CEO and co-founder

The cloud provider sees itself in a growing but highly fragmented market environment. European SMEs are driving their cloud adoption to increase efficiency, security and productivity. At the same time, topics such as artificial intelligence, compliance and IT security are becoming increasingly important. This is precisely where QualityHosting wants to make targeted investments with PSG Equity.

PSG Equity relies on the Microsoft ecosystem

PSG Equity also sees great potential in the partnership."QualityHosting stands out as a leading company in its sector," says Christian Stein, Managing Director at PSG Equity."We see significant opportunities to expand the product offering through M&A activities and AI-based service automation. Together, we will support SMEs in Europe in implementing their digitalization faster and more securely."
