IZARA – Peace of mind and long-term partnerships

Experienced and complimenting forces merge together in a new and strong IZARA. With a focus on cloud-based IT “as a service”, long-term partnerships, and dreams of changing the global view on business systems, IZARA is a different warrior in the battle against large, disrupting IT projects and expensive consultancy hours.

”It has grown under the surface for a long time, this idea that the IT industry is stuck in an outdated illusion about the need for complex ERP solutions (Enterprise Resource Planning), heavy racks in the basement and a larger division of internal IT experts to control and maintain them.” Jakob Ingemann, founder of the original IZARA and now CEO and Partner in our new IZARA, and he is a visionary with great hopes for the industry which he has played a part in for more than two decades. He glances around the modern Copenhagen-based office and smiles as his eyes catch sight of the dark purple wall in the middle of the room. ”We build long-term partnership that give our customer the freedom to develop the business.”

On the same side of the table is Thomas Henrik Meede, who founded and owned the other part of the equation, the company AXspecialists. Thomas has more than 20 years of expertise in delivering ERP solutions, and has, together with his highly specialised team, worked as a “crisis task force” which has saved global ERP projects that have gone wrong.

And it is exactly here, in the air between the experienced CFO, CIO, and advisor on one side and one of the world’s leading Microsoft Dynamics AX specialists on the other, that IZARA has grown and introduces new industry standards and goals.

Peace of mind, as a service
IZARA is all about creating freedom and peace of mind with our customers. Jakob has been on the other side of the table and from his time in top management positions he knows their exact pain points. From the moment you realise your organisation has outgrown it’s own limits, the horrifying consultancy hour-prices on ”upgrading” IT project, which never fail to disappoint the expected massive exceeding of both timelines and budget. Not to mention long disruption setbacks that hinder growth, regularly.

“We offer a package which includes a standardized and cloud-based Dynamics 365 and apps as a service and with a flexible service agreement. That gives our customers faster time-to-value, fewer disruptions during implementation and, most importantly, a stable, safe, and always updated underlying subscription-based business system which can be scaled up and down, exactly the way our customers need it. Through flexibility, scalability and simplification we give our customers the best possible optimisation of innovation and realisation of their growth potential” Jakob says.

The 3rd spice – uncompromised expertise, flexibility and professionalism
Further to the merger between the two companies and their core competencies, we will also offer services through a partnership with Sonata Software, a leading global software solutions provider with expertise in offering digital solutions to businesses in the travel, retail, cpg, distribution and software product development space. Sonata brings it’s proprietary digital industry platforms, over thirty years of expertise in outsourcing IT solutions for Fortune 500 customers and a global delivery footprint, which can be extended to offer unmatched flexibility and capability to Izara customers’ technology needs. Sonata is an award winning Microsoft Dynamics and SAP Hybris partner with industry specific solutions to implement Digital solutions on these platforms too.

IZARA is further strengthened with Peter Mægbæk (founder and CEO of Plenti) as both investor and Chairman of the Board. He sees a large potential in the future of the business: ”There is no doubt that Thomas and Jakob are leading the market and just the fact that they work with solutions as a service is extremely appealing for me, as I have a passion for subscription-based businesses.”
