A Fusion of Industrial Heritage and Modern Innovation in Essen

Essen is an independent metropolis in the heart of the Ruhr area, renowned for its impressive industrial heritage and profound cultural transformation. Originally established as a center of coal and steel production, the city played a pivotal role in Germany's economic development – notably influenced by the Krupp family and other industrial giants. Iconic industrial landmarks such as the UNESCO World Heritage Site Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex stand as a testament to this dynamic past, while also symbolizing a creative rebirth and innovation in the region.

Today, Essen presents itself as a modern metropolis where tradition and contemporary innovation harmoniously blend. The city has evolved into an important hub for business, technology, and culture, hosting renowned institutions like the Folkwang Museum, the Aalto-Theater, as well as numerous galleries and event venues. At the same time, an extensive network of green spaces – notably the Grugapark – ensures a high quality of life and a well-balanced mix of urban flair and nature. With excellent transport connections throughout the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan area, Essen provides an inspiring environment for residents, companies, and visitors alike.

Data Manager, ARGE

"With Timo and Robin, you're not only on the safe side technically - you also get the best human support! Whether it's quick help in everyday life or complex IT solutions: the guys from WZ-IT think along with you, act quickly and speak a language you understand. The collaboration is uncomplicated, reliable and always on an equal footing. That makes IT fun - and above all: it works! Big thank you to the team! (translated) "
Timo and Robin from WZ-IT set up a RocketChat server for us - and I couldn't be more satisfied! From the initial consultation to the final implementation, everything was absolutely professional, efficient, and to my complete satisfaction. I particularly appreciate the clear communication, transparent pricing, and the comprehensive expertise that both bring to the table. Even after the setup, they take care of the maintenance, which frees up my time enormously and allows me to focus on other important areas of my business - with the good feeling that our IT is in the best hands. I can recommend WZ-IT without reservation and look forward to continuing our collaboration! (translated)
We have had very good experiences with Mr. Wevelsiep and WZ-IT. The consultation was professional, clearly understandable, and at fair prices. The team not only implemented our requirements but also thought along and proactively. Instead of just processing individual tasks, they provided us with well-founded explanations that strengthened our own understanding. WZ-IT took a lot of pressure off us with their structured approach - that was exactly what we needed and is the reason why we keep coming back. (translated)
Robin and Timo provided excellent support during our migration from AWS to Hetzner! We received truly competent advice and will gladly return to their services in the future. (translated)
