Our Story
The Path of PathConnect
Founded as a small business focusing on Nextcloud services on rented servers.
Cooperation with 'EDV und Internet': Operating own servers in Frankfurt with expanded services such as Collabora, Talk, and WordPress.
Due to sharply rising energy costs in Germany, we moved our servers to France to continue offering our customers first-class service at fair prices.
Foundation of PathConnect GbR through merger with Joey from 'EDV und Internet' and expansion of the service portfolio.
Foundation of PathConnect GmbH, return to Frankfurt with new high-performance hardware and expansion of the service portfolio to cover all IT needs.
