Cologne/Walldorf, 1 February 2023 – TIMETOACT GROUP, a leading provider of IT services for medium-sized businesses, large corporations and public institutions, is acquiring WCA Walldorf Consulting AG and its sister company target Software Solution GmbH, proven specialists in the implementation of cloud-based SAP solutions. The acquisition is aimed at expanding TIMETOACT GROUP's portfolio of high-quality consulting services for its customers' cloud transformation. As an SAP Gold Partner, WCA Walldorf Consulting is an industry leader in introducing S/4HANA in the public cloud and was awarded both the Innovation Award and the Quality Award for Customer Success by SAP in 2022. The two companies will continue to be led by their existing board members and managing directors. WCA Walldorf Consulting's former board members, Hanno Hofmann and Simon Flick, will become shareholders in TIMETOACT GROUP. The parties agreed not to disclose the details of the transaction.

TIMETOACT GROUP, headquartered in Cologne, comprises nine specialised IT companies in 16 cities across Germany, Austria and Switzerland: ARS, catworkx, CLOUDPILOTS, IPG, novaCapta, PKS, synaigy, TIMETOACT and X-INTEGRATE. With almost 1,000 employees and a comprehensive portfolio of software and consulting services, the digitalisation expert primarily concentrates on medium-sized and large companies from the industrial, finance and service sectors, as well as public institutions.  

WCA Walldorf Consulting is an international consulting firm for SAP cloud solutions with offices in Germany, Latvia, the USA, Singapore and Malaysia. By combining process consulting, multi-award-winning methodological expertise and technical solution capabilities, it has become one of the leading SAP S/4HANA public cloud consultants in Germany. WCA also has in-depth expertise in SAP lease administration in line with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Almost 100 employees worldwide use SAP to digitalise the processes and applications of customers from across the high-tech, medical technology, financial and services sectors. 

target Software Solution is the world's only software provider for idea and innovation management using SAP technology. For over 25 years, it has encouraged the introduction of diverse and innovative ideas and aims to provide tailor-made solutions for every company, regardless of size or sector. The software, which has been SAP-certified several times, is embedded in SAP HCM and SAP SuccessFactors without interfaces and integrated into existing HR processes.

WCA Walldorf Consulting's former board members, Hanno Hofmann and Simon Flick, and the managing directors of target Software Solution, Achim Noe and Robin Müller-Cajar, will continue to lead the two companies, integrating them into TIMETOACT GROUP. Hanno Hofmann and Simon Flick will become shareholders in TIMETOACT GROUP. Agreement was quickly reached during the bilateral sale process, with synergies and growth potential identified.

The development of the WCA Walldorf Consulting business in Austria and Switzerland, the integration of its offshore teams within TIMETOACT GROUP and the establishment of the group's market presence in the US have all been identified as key priorities for the business. The acquisition of WCA Walldorf Consulting and target Software Solution is TIMETOACT GROUP's fourth acquisition since funds advised by Equistone Partners Europe acquired a majority stake in the business in June 2021.

Right from the beginning of our conversations with TIMETOACT Group, the potential of a collaboration was clear, especially with regard to customers and the service portfolio. TIMETOACT Group’s existing services and Walldorf Consulting’s role as its SAP consulting brand will boost our strong growth over the coming years and enable us to advise our customers even more comprehensively as they transition into the cloud.
