Start as an apprentice. Grow into a pro.

Three students founded SOS in 1987. Today, we’re a team of over 80 people and one of the leading software distributors in the DACH region, with vendors from all over the world in our portfolio.

And you’ll be right in the thick of it: From day one, you’ll work on real deals, talk to vendors from the U.S. or Scandinavia, and manage your own clients. Sound like a lot? It is. But that’s exactly how most of our team leaders got their start, as apprentices.
