What “Best of Both” Means for You
We are visionaries and implementers, pioneers and optimisers. We bring the scale, financial stability, and global reach of a corporation – and the entrepreneurial flexibility, personal accountability, and cultural closeness of a local SME.
Our unique value proposition combines:
We bring the best of both worlds—global reach with local expertise. With the msg group's presence in over 30 countries, we leverage a worldwide network of knowledge, innovation, and resources while maintaining a strong regional focus on Austria, CEE, and CIS. This enables us to understand local market nuances, build lasting relationships, and deliver solutions that are culturally and economically relevant.
We combine the financial strength, stability, and resource depth of a large international group with the entrepreneurial agility of an owner-managed business. This unique blend allows us to mobilize expertise and capacity at scale, while reacting quickly to market changes, emerging technologies, and client needs—without the bureaucracy that often slows others down.
With 40 years of proven success, we have built deep industry knowledge and a track record of delivering measurable impact. But we never stand still—our mindset is future-focused. We continuously explore emerging trends, invest in R&D, and experiment with new business models, ensuring that our clients and partners benefit from both seasoned experience and pioneering innovation.
We are trusted experts in SAP and Microsoft ecosystems, but our approach is technology-open. This means we recommend and implement the solutions that truly fit your business strategy, not just what’s trending. Our independence ensures we focus on long-term value creation rather than vendor-driven agendas.
We combine globally recognized best practices, proven methodologies, and regulatory compliance with the flexibility to adapt to each client’s unique environment. This balance ensures operational excellence while allowing for tailored, creative, and forward-thinking solutions that give our clients a competitive edge.
At the heart of everything we do are people—our clients, our partners, and our teams. We foster a human-centric culture built on empathy, trust, and shared success. We believe that business growth and positive societal impact go hand in hand. Our employees are encouraged to think entrepreneurially, act responsibly, and pursue work that is both professionally rewarding and personally meaningful.
Why Clients Choose msg Plaut
Our clients stay with us because we deliver measurable results – and we stand behind them. We measure our success by the impact we create, the trust we build, and the deadlines we keep.
Results-Oriented
We take full ownership of delivering on time, on scope, and on quality—no compromises. For us, results are not abstract goals; they are measurable outcomes that create tangible business impact. We set clear expectations, track progress rigorously, and proactively address challenges to ensure objectives are met or exceeded. Every project is an opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to excellence, turning strategic ambitions into operational success.
Partnership-Based
We believe the best results come from working as one team with our clients. This means fostering a spirit of trust, transparency, and co-creation from the very start. By combining our expertise with our clients’ deep understanding of their own business, we generate innovative, practical, and sustainable solutions that endure long after a project’s completion. Partnership for us is more than collaboration—it’s a long-term commitment to mutual success.
Reliable
We keep our promises—every time, for every client. Reliability is more than delivering what’s expected; it’s about being a trusted constant in an ever-changing business environment. From the first conversation to project handover and beyond, our clients know they can depend on us to act with integrity, maintain high quality standards, and honor our commitments. This trust is the foundation of the lasting relationships we build.
