“We see ourselves not just as a technology partner but as a reliable companion—even when challenges arise. By staying close to our customers, understanding their industries deeply, and maintaining a clear hands-on mentality, we ensure projects reach their goals successfully. Breaking into the top 10 is a strong signal of the trust placed in us, the dedication of our team, and the course we’ve set for the future,”

explains Lukas Hostettler, Chief Regional Officer at BE-terna.

Resilience in a challenging market

Despite a difficult year for the industry in 2024—marked by halted digitalization programs, cost-cutting initiatives, and client-side consolidations—BE-terna managed to further strengthen its market position. While the average growth of the top 25 companies listed by Lünendonk was just 2.2 percent, BE-terna performed well and held its ground in the market.

This positive development reflects growing demand for cloud transformation as well as for services in data and AI and cyber security. BE-terna brings these future-ready technologies to life for Germany’s mid-market, offering cloud ERP solutions that deliver all essential industry functions as standard. These solutions are built on proven platforms from Microsoft and Infor. Additionally, BE-terna continues to develop practical AI-based applications and services, including solutions for error detection, sales forecasting, warehouse optimization, and data governance.

Business software market remains a growth area

According to Lünendonk, many IT service providers are optimistic about 2025 thanks to improved economic outlooks. The industry is expected to grow by 7.2 percent this year. BE-terna is well positioned for this growth: as a trusted digitalization partner for the mid-market, the company combines strong industry knowledge with technological expertise. As part of the Telefónica Tech family, BE-terna pairs decades of experience in business software with extensive know-how in cyber security, IoT, big data, and blockchain services. This innovative spirit is one of the core foundations of BE-terna’s success and will continue driving growth in 2025.
