ALSO Group is part of the 50 Global Leaders on bloomberg.com


Bloomberg.com presents the ALSO Holding AG as part of the "50 Global Leaders" project in collaboration with TBD Media Group. The video, produced specially for this occasion, documents how the company is helping to improve everyday work and life for and with its customers. Digital platforms and cloud based solutions are instrumental in this transformation.

"50 Global Leaders" portrays 50 innovative and leading companies worldwide on bloomberg.com. Following the motto "Lead the Change", the documentary series shows how these players and their leaders are facing current challenges and helping to shape the future in a sustainable way. Together with its ecosystem, the vendors and resellers of IT solutions and services, ALSO Group is driving digitalisation and helping business and society to grow sustainably and profitably.

One example for this is the Internet of Things. It will soon be present in every office, on every factory floor. The networking of smart devices will help companies transform offices into modern workplaces. To do this, the Medialine Group uses Workplace+ from ALSO: with the help of sensors and a secure and scalable IoT platform, the use of office space is optimised. In this way, the Medialine Group saves costs, increases the capacity and use of office space - and offers Workplace+ to its own customers, too.

Cloud based solutions offer companies countless advantages such as scalability, flexibility, cost transparency and control, as you only pay for what you really need. These are the advantages that aConTech leverages with its as-a-service portfolio. Through its partnership with ALSO, the company has successfully expanded internationally within a few months and benefits greatly from the large ecosystem of the ALSO Group.

These are just two concrete examples of how ALSO helps companies to drive digitalisation with marketable products and services. Gustavo Möller-Hergt, CEO of ALSO Holding AG (SIX: ALSN), describes the driving force behind the success: "The goal of every company is to create value for its stakeholders. This includes customers and shareholders, but it also includes society at large. We need to combine business success and societal benefit. Improving the quality of life for all people through technology - that is ALSO's purpose, and at the same time the basis of our entrepreneurial actions."
