Be-Cloud and QualityHosting Join Forces to Help Create a Leading Pan-European Cloud Services Delivery Platform for SMBs
Paris, France & Gelnhausen, Germany – 14 October 2026 – Be-Cloud and QualityHosting, two leading providers of cloud and managed services to SMBs and IT partners across Europe, today announced that they have joined forces to help create a scaled pan-European cloud services delivery platform. The combined group will serve ~50,000 SMB end-customers and over 2,000 partners, with a strong presence across France, DACH, and the Benelux regions.
Founded in 2012 by Lenny Vercruysse and headquartered in Paris, Be-Cloud is a leading French Microsoft CSP distributor and MSP. The company supports SMBs and IT partners across France, the Benelux region and Switzerland, providing Microsoft cloud solutions, managed services and technical support through a multi-country service organisation and an established network of certified experts.
Founded in 1998 by Christian Heit and Markus Oestreicher, and headquartered in Gelnhausen, Germany, QualityHosting is a leading German CSP distributor and MSP. QualityHosting delivers cloud and managed services through a highly automated proprietary platform, spanning Microsoft 365, Azure, security, compliance and governance. The company became Germany’s first Microsoft CSP in 2014.
Creating a Scaled Pan-European Full-Stack Delivery Platform for SMBs
The combination comes as SMBs across Europe continue to accelerate their adoption of cloud technologies, managed services, AI and cybersecurity solutions. By bringing together Be-Cloud’s differentiated commercial engine and established partner network with QualityHosting’s proprietary AI-enabled automation capabilities and scalable service delivery model, the combined group aims to create a leading pan-European full-stack delivery platform for SMBs and their IT partners.
The combined group will seek to broaden its product and services offering across cloud, cybersecurity and AI through both organic growth and M&A, while continuing to expand its presence across Europe. The combination will seek to ensure continuity for customers and partners, who will continue to work with their existing teams while benefiting over time from the broader capabilities of the combined group.
Lenny Vercruysse, Founder and CEO of Be-Cloud, said: “Joining forces with QualityHosting represents an exciting next step in Be-Cloud’s growth journey. Our customers and partners have always been at the heart of Be-Cloud, and that will remain the case as the businesses come together. They will continue to benefit from the teams they know and trust and the continuity of their existing relationships, while gaining access over time to the broader capabilities and solutions of the combined group.”
Christian Heit, Founder and CEO of QualityHosting, said: “Be-Cloud and QualityHosting share a common vision for making cloud technology simpler and more accessible for SMBs and their IT partners. Bringing together Be-Cloud’s commercial capabilities and established market presence with QualityHosting’s automated approach to service delivery creates a highly complementary platform. Together, we have the opportunity to build on the strengths of both businesses, broaden our technology and service capabilities and further accelerate our growth across Europe.”
Christian Stein, Managing Director at PSG Equity, added: “The European cloud and IT services market presents a significant opportunity, driven by continued digitalisation and growing demand from SMBs for cloud, security and AI solutions. We believe the combination of Be-Cloud and QualityHosting creates a compelling pan-European delivery platform, bringing together two highly complementary businesses in what remains a fragmented European market. We believe the combined group is well positioned to capitalise on these structural trends and the opportunity for further expansion across Europe.”
PSG Equity, a leading growth equity firm specializing in partnering with software and technology-enabled services companies to help drive transformational growth, is backing the partnership and will work closely with Lenny Vercruysse and Christian Heit – who will continue to lead the combined business alongside their teams – to support the combined group’s next phase of growth.
