The success story of the IT consulting and system integration company msg systems commences in Munich in 1980.

A concept that quickly proves its worth: Due to the continual gain of expertise and committed employees, msg systems has an average annual growth of more than 10% - even in times of declining industry trends. In addition, it extends its range of performance by specialised subsidiaries and participations in future-oriented companies. msg systems has been among the top 25 IT consulting and system integration companies in Germany since 1997, and since 2006 it has been listed among the top 10. More than 3,000 employees contribute to the success of the company´s group, which has been registered as a public limited company since the autumn of 2001. Several branches in many large German cities, in Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Romania, Spain, India, Singapore and the USA always guarantee msg systems’ customers the best possible service on-site.
