LM IT Services AG Joins the AXAITRA Group: Strategic Partnership for AI Services and European Growth

Munich/Osnabrück, October 30, 2025 – The AXAITRA Group, a rapidly growing pan-European IT services organization specializing in cloud and AI solutions for enterprise clients, is thrilled to welcome LM IT Services AG as the newest member of its corporate family. This partnership opens up exciting new strategic opportunities for both sides: AXAITRA strengthens its cloud and AI services portfolio and partner network, while LM IT leverages its decades of expertise in delivering comprehensive IT services within a broader European context. The existing leadership team at LM IT will remain on board, taking an active role in shaping the future of the AXAITRA Group.

Founded in 1994 by Marc Liepe and Manuel Mummert in Osnabrück, LM IT Services AG has evolved over more than 30 years from a pure IT training provider into a trusted advisor and managed services provider. With approximately 125 employees, LM IT today offers a wide range of IT services: from technology consulting and software development to process digitalization, automation, cutting-edge AI solutions, and modern workplace consulting. Empowerment and change management remain core competencies: As an official Microsoft partner—one of LM IT’s most important clients—the company has trained tens of thousands of IT professionals and delivered numerous consulting projects. These established training and readiness programs will become a central learning hub within the AXAITRA Group, elevating the expertise of all partner companies to new heights.

LM IT’s deep expertise in AI and automation significantly expands AXAITRA’s portfolio. Clients will benefit from even more innovative solutions and comprehensive end-to-end support on their digital transformation journeys.

LM IT’s proven training and readiness offerings will be rolled out across the entire group. This enables all AXAITRA partner companies to empower their employees and clients for AI technologies more rapidly—Microsoft, as the largest customer of this program, is already on board.

Marc Liepe, CEO of LM IT Services AG, comments on the planned integration:
“We are absolutely delighted to become part of the AXAITRA Group. This partnership allows us to combine our decades of experience in digitalization and training with AXAITRA’s pan-European cloud and AI expertise. Together, we can offer our clients and partners even more comprehensive support on their journey into the AI future. My team and I are convinced that, as part of AXAITRA, we will further strengthen our market presence and unlock new opportunities for our customers and our team.”

Robert Helgerth, CEO of the AXAITRA Group, emphasizes the strategic significance of the acquisition:
“The integration of LM IT Services AG marks another milestone for AXAITRA. LM IT’s outstanding expertise in AI-powered services and its unique training offerings are a perfect fit for our vision. We are especially impressed by how LM IT, as a long-standing Microsoft partner, combines digital innovation with human expertise. Together, we will solidify our position as Microsoft’s leading AI services partner in Europe and deliver even more innovative solutions to our clients.”
