Customer benefit: 5 IT consulting firms merge to form ATVANTAGE

On October 1, 2025, four brands of the TIMETOACT GROUP will combine their strengths: ARS, brainbits, TIMETOACT Software & Consulting, and X-INTEGRATE will merge to form ATVANTAGE GmbH. JOIN(+) will also join the group on November 1.

With the founding of ATVANTAGE GmbH, the TIMETOACT GROUP is bringing together key competencies to move forward into the future with greater strategic, technical, and cultural strength. The merger is based on a clear vision: customers, partners, and employees will benefit from an even more integrated range of services in the future—with high technological excellence, deep industry knowledge, and a consistent market presence. By bundling expertise in the areas of cloud, data & AI, software engineering, and process automation, an even more solid platform for digital innovation is created.

ATVANTAGE = “Advantage through Technology”

ATVANTAGE stands for “Advantage through Technology” – and thus for the claim to use technology in a targeted manner to make organizations more efficient in the long term. The focus is not on the technology itself, but on the concrete benefits: more efficient processes, measurable cost advantages, and sustainable business impact.

What is changing – and what remains the same

Stronger unity, clearer profile

The existing companies will operate under shared structures going forward and will increasingly appear under the ATVANTAGE brand—for greater clarity and simplicity in the market.

Specialization within the network

Each unit contributes its own areas of expertise while benefiting from the combined know-how in data, AI, cloud, app modernization, and process optimization.

Focus on customer benefit

The focus is not on technology for its own sake, but on measurable added value: more efficient processes, lower costs, and sustainable business impact.

Shared strategy, agile culture

ATVANTAGE combines flat structures and fast decision-making processes with a uniform strategic orientation and group-wide synergies.

Strengthening the TIMETOACT GROUP

With ATVANTAGE, the TIMETOACT GROUP is strengthening its position in the market for digital business solutions, creating synergies within its portfolio, and sending a clear signal for growth, innovation, and customer focus.

“We are looking forward to the future as ATVANTAGE – and to walking this path together with our customers. As a GROUP, as a brand, as a team.”

Stefan Gierl Managing Director ATVANTAGE
