The mgm technology partners segment (mgm) is an IT company for digitalization projects and one of the leading providers for e-government portals in Germany. mgm stands for platform solutions that create sustainable value added for IT, business and organization. mgm technology partners has outstanding expertise when it comes to enterprise business applications, offers its clients cooperation based on partnership, and guarantees the long-term assumption of responsibility in integrated consulting and platform solutions.

As a high-end software and technology company, mgm technology partners defines its own success by the contribution its productive systems make to its clients’ business performance. mgm develops enterprise applications mainly for the commerce and insurance industries and the public sector on
the basis of the latest technologies and its own platform solutions. Together with the specialist subsidiaries mgm consulting partners (management consulting for digitalization, experts in CIO advisory, organizational development and change management), mgm security partners (web application security) and mgm integration partners (SAP process optimization), mgm covers the full range of current and future digitalization issues.

mgm adopts the approach of digital sovereignty, whereby organizations retain authority over and knowledge of their own IT systems. As a long-standing partner to public administrations, mgm shares the values of its contractors for self-determined data and software handling. mgm helps its private sector clients and partners to achieve their strategic goals, which increasingly intersect with digital sovereignty in the context of the emerging platform economy. As a specialist in model-based development, mgm creates software solutions that enable experts to adapt even highly complex, integrated applications on their own. mgm’s proprietary product development – the low-code A12 platform – is used as the basis in all sectors. This model-based, low-code platform is the future-proof foundation for mastering complexity in digital business and making clients’ business sustainably efficient in the long term. Individual developments for integration into companies’ critical IT landscapes remain a key focus.

mgm specializes in the commerce and insurance industries and the public sector, which are particularly stable or resistant in times of crisis. In the third year of the coronavirus pandemic, online retail and the significant need for digitalization in the public sector remained highly pronounced.

Public Sector

• mgm is the technology partner and developer behind electronic tax returns in Germany. Today, the income tax returns of more than 30 million people are sent to the tax authorities using software developed by mgm. Among other things, companies in Germany submitted
  37.8 million provisional VAT returns in 2021. All commercial tax-saving programs use ELSTER authentication. Complete data validation, data encryption and transmission is performed using ERiC (ELSTER Rich Client). 2021 marked the 25th anniversary of the successful ELSTER e-government project.

• In the public sector, the A12 platform is a tried and tested solution for the legally required implementation of the German Online Access Act by the end of 2022 and other digitalization projects in public authorities and administrations at federal and state level. Modular parts from the
  ELSTER ecosystem, for example, also play a major role in other e-government solutions, such as building an infrastructure for a uniform business account in Germany. Structural digitalization and fully digital accessibility for private individuals and companies of all kinds in Germany is also an attractive field for future business.

Commerce

• mgm sees commerce as an individual high-speed business. The company operates in both B2B and B2C with a focus on two products: SAP Commerce Cloud (formerly SAP Hybris) and mgm Commerce ERP. It has been an SAP gold partner since 2009.

• mgm’s e-grocery software based on SAP Commerce Cloud provides a proven solution for modern online shops specifically for food retail, including a connected picking app for click & collect services.

• Acquired in 2021, mgm integration partners GmbH (formerly Clientis AG) has SAP Gold Partner certification. The company, which has consultants and developers in Moosburg (Bavaria) and Hamburg, is a specialist for SAP process optimization, especially along supply chains. The combination of this special expertise with the experience of other mgm areas, for instance in consulting on ERP migration projects (S/4HANA) and implementation using SAP Commerce Cloud, adds up to a multi-faceted SAP solution offering.

Insurance

• mgm has focused on digitalization in the industrial insurance business since 2006. The in-house development based on A12, mgm Cosmo, is a digital platform offering integrated product configuration, underwriting, digital collaboration and cover, loss and process modeling in the highly complex and individual industrial insurance business.

• At the same time, mgm does not always act as a service provider that concludes and hands over a commissioned project after an agreed period. Part of the platform strategy also involves the establishment of long-term partnerships with insurers and brokers, through which mgm aims to participate directly in the success of digitalization initiatives.

• In consulting for the insurance industry, the focus is on business intelligence and data warehouse projects, including in the context of Solvency II. Another industry focus in management consulting is energy providers, especially for CIO advisory and sourcing services.
