As the digital economy continues to grow in exciting new directions, people with foresight are needed to transform companies for the world of tomorrow. Marcus Heinrich, Managing Director of agilimo Consulting GmbH, has been working for ten years to provide ingenious solutions for those who need them most. With an eye on the successes achieved through expertise and entrepreneurial acumen, we took a closer look at him and his company to find out more.
Since 2010, agilimo has become an indispensable service provider for many of its customers, using creative solutions to make the benefits of flexible, digital workplaces available to people. Many customers are looking for a secure solution that is also user-friendly. However, they often lack the necessary in-house expertise to implement the solution themselves.
It goes without saying that agilimo meets the highest standards of national and international customers in all projects – from government authorities and commercial enterprises to the financial sector and the defense industry.
When Marcus Heinrich started agilimo, he had already been working as an entrepreneur for over ten years. During this time, he had already gained experience in several successful start-ups that still exist today.
However, since the humble beginnings of the original one-man operation, his company has grown exponentially. Today, Heinrichs’ team is active throughout Europe and has made a name for itself as an implementer of premium solutions in both the private and public sectors.
This broad acceptance has been achieved in particular because agilimo involves all levels of the process in projects – from the top of a company to the bottom. Instead of limiting communication to the customer’s direct contacts, agilimo’s specialists always keep the big picture in mind when carrying out their tasks. And it is precisely this approach that makes it easier for customers to accept the changes in the long term.
This approach also gives the team a high degree of flexibility in its approach – where others say there is no solution, agilimo will find a way to the goal.
With his unique perspective on his own industry, Marcus Heinrich has now started to take his company in a slightly different direction.
Instead of using purely customized solutions, agilimo wants to move towards offering modular products where the customer pays a monthly fee for their use. This then includes the entire modular scope of services – from implementation, rollout and training through to device use.
With this move, Marcus Heinrich is putting his company at the forefront of a technological revolution to support those who currently have to learn via homeschooling across Germany. While the new project is proving very popular, Heinrich and his team are exploring ways to expand the offering. In discussions with various schools, the product is being refined and optimally adapted to the school’s needs.
Due to the overriding need to meet increasingly specific user requirements, IT consulting has undergone continuous change in recent years. Through annual kick-off meetings and monthly meetings with the entire team, Marcus Heinrich therefore ensures that all employees stay in touch, are always well informed and remain focused.
Regardless of position, everyone can contribute their personal and professional goals for the year to the process and work with the team to develop how these can be incorporated into the company’s goals.
From the very beginning, Heinrich has consciously focused on the power of team spirit and cooperation as a unit in his management style. As a true team player, he exemplifies this cooperative approach himself on a daily basis – you will look in vain for the classic CEO model at agilimo.
Given the success with customers, first in Germany and later throughout Europe, it is hardly surprising that Marcus Heinrich and the agilimo team are planning to expand their business into new areas.
With his intuition for the needs of the market, Marcus Heinrich has managed to put his company on an incredibly successful course. In the field of IT solutions, he and his company are definitely one of the players to look forward to in the future.
