Stefanini Group Named a Leader in Workplace Services by Whitelane Research

BRUSSELS, Belgium, March 2026 – Stefanini Group, a global tech consulting company with an AI-first mindset, has been recognized as an “Exceptional Performer” in Workplace Services in the Whitelane Research 2025 IT Sourcing Study for Germany. This prestigious ranking positions Stefanini among the Top 3 providers in the country, alongside industry giants HCLTech and TCS.

The 2025 edition of the study is one of the most comprehensive analyses of the German IT outsourcing market. It evaluated 36 service providers across five key technology “towers” — Application Services, Cloud & Infrastructure, Workplace, Network & Connectivity, and Security — based on feedback from over 300 of Germany’s largest organizations and ratings from 1,000+ active IT outsourcing contracts.

In the Whitelane methodology, the “Exceptional Performer” designation is reserved for providers whose satisfaction scores exceed the market average by at least one standard deviation. This status validates that Stefanini does not merely meet market standards but consistently outperforms them by a measurable, verified margin.

“This recognition is a testament to our ‘customer-first’ DNA and our team’s dedication to delivering transformative workplace solutions,” said Farlei Kothe, CEO for North America, EMEA and Asia Pacific of Stefanini Group. “As we scale our digital workplace offerings, our focus remains on helping German enterprises achieve sustainable growth and technical agility.”
