Excellent partnership: Together for the IAMCP P2P Award 2026

mmoeller — Wed, 14 Oct 2026 08:23:55 +0000

A successful digital transformation requires not only the right technology, but above all the right partners. We are all the more pleased that our joint customer initiative, together with Dr. MORAWIETZ GmbH and AXAITRA with the IAMCP P2P Award 2026 in the category Solution Provider (EMEA Winner) was awarded.

Partnership as a success factor

The one by the International Association of Microsoft Channel Partners (IAMCP) granted P2P Award Recognizes outstanding partner-to-partner projects where multiple companies pool their expertise to create exceptional value for customers together. Our excellent project is a prime example of what is possible when experts from different disciplines work closely together. Together, we implemented an ambitious Microsoft 365 transformation for a client in the media industry. At the heart of the project was the consolidation of 16 separate Microsoft 365 tenants into a single platform, including the migration of identities, users, workloads, and individual configurations.

Achieve more together

The challenge of this project was not only in the technical complexity, but also in the close coordination of all involved parties. By combining strategic consulting, migration expertise, and technical implementation expertise, we were able to create a solution that fully met the client’s requirements. The award impressively confirms what we experience daily: the best results are achieved when specialists combine their strengths, share knowledge, and pursue a common goal.

Recognition at the international level

What makes us particularly proud is that the collaboration between Dr. MORAWIETZ GmbH, AXAITRA And LM IT Services AG was not only recognized as the regional winner in the EMEA region, but also among the global finalists of the IAMCP P2P Awards 2026. The jury particularly highlighted how partners can combine their individual skills and experiences to develop innovative solutions, unlock new business opportunities, and create sustainable customer benefits.

Thank you to our partners and customers

This award is the result of a trusting, equal collaboration. Our special thanks go to our partners Dr. MORAWIETZ GmbH and AXAITRA As well as our client, who has entrusted us with their trust for this strategically important transformation project. The IAMCP P2P Award once again shows: Successful digitalization is a team sport. Together, we can overcome challenges that would be almost impossible to handle alone. We look forward to implementing innovative projects together with our partners in the future and to making the added value of strong Microsoft partnerships tangible for our customers.

Digital Week Osnabrück 2026

mmoeller — Mon, 28 Sep 2026 14:51:37 +0000

Four lectures, one message: Why AI success depends on processes, not on technology – Digital Week 2026

From IT security in the age of AI, about Process analysis instead of blind automation hype, up to AI introduction as a change project and a critical look at the limits of AI-based responses – our presentations at the Digital Week Osnabrück 2026 showed how different perspectives can be on the same topic.

Whether concrete attack scenarios, a live scene from everyday work, practical examples from transformation and crisis projects or surprising insights into how to handle AI responsesThe four sessions made one thing clear – whether AI really makes a difference in a company rarely comes down to the technology itself, but to processes, responsibilities, and a clear understanding of its limitations.

AI and chat assistants: new opportunities also for hackers

In the first presentation of the day, Sebastian Runde The audience is brought into the perspective of the attackers: the same ones AI chat assistants, Tools that make the workday easier also open up new possibilities for hackers – from more convincing Phishing emails about professionally trained Social Engineering Going as far as fast-evolving malware. Using concrete examples, Sebastian showed how attackers are already using these tools today – and what companies should be aware of in order to better protect themselves and their IT environment.

Sebastian Runde

Trainer & Consultant

When AI hits a human… – Why good process analysis achieves more than any agent

Dr Tim Arlinghaus and Stephan Sostmann They began with a scene that many of them were familiar with from their own workaday lives: On Mondays, the AI does a task without complaint; on Tuesdays, it refuses the same request; on Wednesdays, it suddenly does it again. The resolution followed as follows: Key point of the lecture: „That's not a bug. That's a diagnosis.“ An AI that sometimes works and sometimes doesn't usually only detects that the underlying Process never clearly defined was – a gap that was previously silently filled by people.

The two also presented the much-discussed issue in a structured and un-commented manner. Number of MIT studies, According to a study by the University of Oxford, a large portion of the GenAI pilot projects do not provide a measurable ROI – with the caveat that the actual finding behind this is not a technical problem, but a „Learning Gap“ is: systems that are not embedded in existing processes. Tim and Stephan deduced from this Two paths to failure ab – Putting AI to work on processes that do not tolerate any room for interpretation, as well as digitizing processes that never needed AI in the first place. The central question that determines this: Should this process allow for interpretation? The presentation was supplemented by the Copilot Explorer Program, With LM IT Services, they examine IT settings with customers, identify relevant processes, and build a Center of Enablement within the company.

For take-out, there were three questions that could be asked in every team meeting starting now:

Can I describe the process in a sentence without saying „it depends“?
Would two experienced colleagues decide differently in this case?
What happens in the worst case scenario if the decision is wrong?

Dr Tim Arlinghaus

Process Analyst

Stephan Sostmann

Senior Account Manager

If AI can do everything – what remains for us then?

Stefan Bracht It drew attention to an observation that many companies are currently making: despite high expectations, AI initiatives The hoped-for results often remain elusive – and the reason rarely lies in the technology itself. AI can speed up processes, analyze information, and take on routine tasks, but it does not replace them. Clear responsibilities, No functioning processes and no leadership.

Based on practical examples from Transformation and crisis projects Stefan showed which factors determine success or failure and which skills will become more important for employees and managers in the future. His central message: Successful AI implementation is primarily a project of change – and the participants took up concrete ideas on how AI can be used as an effective tool without losing the human being in the process.

Stefan Bracht

Director of Transition and Transformation

AI always responds. That's the problem.

In the last lecture of the day, he took Arvid Reiche an observation that many make in their daily interactions with AI: answers seem helpful, fluid, and convincing – but this persuasive power is No sign of quality, but one Structural feature. AI produces coherent responses regardless of whether the underlying knowledge is complete: it fills in gaps without signaling it, agrees before checking, and forgets what was discussed before each message.

Arvid explained, using concrete examples, how AI really works – and what Three habits The key difference lies between AI that improves decisions and AI that subtly degrades them. A presentation that showed: Anyone who wants to use AI productively must first understand where its persuasive power ends and their own duty of verification begins.

Arvid Reiche

LM IT is counted among the Microsoft Frontier Partners as part of the AXAITRA Group.

mmoeller — Thu, 16 Jul 2026 08:38:47 +0000

Microsoft Frontier Partner: What the award means for customers

Artificial intelligence is developing rapidly. This means many companies are wondering which partner can guide them safely and successfully on this path. This is precisely where the Microsoft Frontier Partner status comes in. This award is only given to selected companies that demonstrably possess comprehensive expertise in AI, cloud, and security, and successfully apply it in customer projects. As a German member of the AXAITRA Group, LM IT Services AG is now part of this exclusive circle.

Find out more about our AI solutions

Ein Microsoft Frontier Partner ist eine Organisation, die auf Basis einer neuen, innovativen Technologie oder Lösung von Microsoft einen Partnerstatus erlangt.

The Microsoft Frontier Partner status recognises companies that successfully and sustainably implement artificial intelligence productively for their customers. The prerequisites are extensive competencies across multiple Microsoft solution areas, as well as the demonstration of concrete customer projects with measurable added value. Microsoft does not evaluate individual products or certifications in isolation, but rather the ability to make modern AI solutions secure, scalable, and economically viable.

Microsoft licenses are becoming more expensive

mmoeller — Tue, 23 Jun 2026 11:24:16 +0000

Microsoft 365 Licences: Now is the right time for a licence check

Prices for Microsoft licenses will be adjusted on 1 July 2026. For companies, this means that anyone who doesn't address their licensing situation now must expect higher costs in the future.

The good news: Until 30.06.2026, there is still an opportunity to obtain Microsoft licences at favourable conditions or to optimise existing licence models. Therefore, it is worth taking a closer look at your own Microsoft environment now.

About the author

Jochen Kühle

Licence Manager

Why many companies overpay for their Microsoft 365 licenses

In many companies, Microsoft 365 licenses have grown over the years. New employees are hired, areas of responsibility change, and additional features are booked. At the same time, existing licenses are often not regularly reviewed. This quickly leads to a license landscape that no longer optimally matches actual requirements.

In practice, however, a very similar pattern emerges in many IT environments. Companies are not primarily paying too much because Microsoft is increasing prices, but because actual usage no longer aligns with the existing licensing model. Typical examples include:

Users who are assigned to overly high license tiers.

Licences for accounts with no active usage.

Booked security or compliance features that are not in use.

Historically developed mixed environments with different license types.

The upcoming price adjustment makes this topic particularly relevant. The higher the license costs, the greater the impact of unused or incorrectly assigned licenses on the IT budget. It is not uncommon for targeted analysis to identify savings potential or for existing licenses to be better adapted to actual requirements.

Additionally, today Microsoft 365 encompasses far more than the well-known Office applications. Many companies only use a fraction of the features they are already paying for. A review of the existing licensing structure therefore not only creates Transparency on costs, but also points out possibilities, to use existing services more efficiently.

Those who wait until just before the next contract renewal often forfeit valuable room for manoeuvre. Now is the right time to review existing contracts, user numbers and licensing models and to set the course for the future. We support happy to help with the Opportunities for improvement and for more information on your Microsoft 365 licences.

From 01.07.2026, the new prices will apply

Until 30.06.2026, companies can still benefit from discounted conditions.

Would you like to know the impact of changes on your company or if there are potential savings to be found within your Microsoft environment? We would be happy to help you analyse and optimise your Microsoft licenses.

LM Summer Festival 2026

mmoeller — Mon, 22 Jun 2026 13:36:44 +0000

AI innovations, sporting ambition and pure team spirit

Last Friday, it was that time again: Our LM Connect 2026 was on! This year's summer party offered a successful mix of strategic outlook, professional exchange, sporting action and an atmospheric evening programme. Here you will find a brief summary, the best pictures and our highlights.

Strategic outlook and exciting insights

The day kicked off with our board meeting. An open exchange provided current updates and an exciting strategic outlook for the times ahead. This was immediately followed by inspiring presentations from within our own ranks: colleagues shared valuable insights into their current projects and delivered a wealth of inspiration. It's always impressive to see how much deep expertise our team possesses. After so much professional input, it was time for a refuel: a shared lunch offered the perfect opportunity to further consider the morning's topics while also gathering new energy for the afternoon.

AI League: Between Code, Human Foosball and Ice Cream Van

Refreshed and re-energised, things got sporty and competitive! The second matchday of our internal AI League was on the agenda. All departments compete against each other here, mixed into seven teams, and develop AI agents as well as AI-powered product solutions. First, the teams presented their current progress and showed how their projects – some already developed into complete solutions – have evolved.

But as is known, theory is only half the battle: in the subsequent „human foosball“ tournament, full physical commitment was required. Here, it wasn't algorithms that counted, but quick reactions and real teamwork. An ice cream van on site provided the necessary refreshment and an additional boost of motivation, catering to both players and spectators.

Grill buffet, cocktails and a real summer feeling

Promptly at 6:00 PM, we switched to party mode. The grand barbecue buffet, organised by Philipp Büning, left nothing to be desired. With cool drinks from the cocktail bar in hand, we brought the evening to a relaxed close. There was laughter, cross-departmental chats and toasts to our shared successes – an all-round successful end to an intense day.

Conclusion

LM Connect 2026 has once again exemplified what defines our company culture: we are passionate about working on innovative solutions – and at the same time, we know how to celebrate successes together. A huge thank you to everyone who organised this day and made it so special! Would you like to be part of the next LM Connect? Then drop by our careers page and discover our open positions!

Future Day 2026

mmoeller — Fri, 24 Apr 2026 14:29:47 +0000

Insight into the digital working world of tomorrow

This year's Future Day saw us invite three female pupils and five male pupils to gain first-hand experience of the digital working world. The aim was not only to provide insights but also to actively demonstrate how modern IT and marketing processes interlock.

The focus was on a practical project that participants could work on themselves, from the initial idea to its concrete implementation.

From idea to digital product

The central element of the day was the development of a Digital homework organiser. The participants were first given an overview of the issue and the benefits of the application by our trainer, Paul. They then worked independently on the content. It quickly became clear: digital solutions don't arise by chance, but are consistently geared towards user needs. This made it tangible how an idea becomes a product step by step.

Marketing meets AI: Making content understandable

Another focus was on the question of how digital solutions are communicated externally. As part of the project, the participants created their own blog post. Supported by Microsoft Copilot Learned how to structure, formulate understandably, and target content effectively. Together, texts were developed, revised, and refined.

The use of AI made it clear how much modern tools support content creation today, without replacing the creative process. Only through clear communication do ideas become understandable, tangible, and usable. This is precisely where the The interplay of IT and marketing an, a central component of our daily work at LM.

A significant contribution to career guidance

The Future Day 2026 For us, it was more than just an insight day. It is an important component in introducing young people to digital topics at an early stage and giving them realistic insights into various professional fields.

We were delighted to welcome the students and hope they experienced the day as exciting and varied as we did.

If you want to delve deeper and not only get to know the digital working world but also actively shape it, then take a look at our careers page. There you will find Current entry-level opportunities, apprenticeships and further information about your future at LM.

Multi-agent systems

How multi-agent systems turn AI from a single model into a team

Artificial intelligence is currently developing faster than any other technology, and the way we work with it is changing fundamentally. Until a few years ago, the focus was primarily on large language models (LLMs). Today, we are at a point where these models are no longer the sole focus, but are becoming building blocks in a larger system: Multi-agent systems. While classic AI applications perform a task on demand, multi-agent systems go a decisive step further. They consist of several specialised agents, analyse goals, coordinate tasks independently, carry out sub-processes, check each other and refine results step by step. In short, they work like a digital team.

About the author

Henry Ohl

What makes multi-agent systems so special?

Although a single AI model can take on many tasks, it quickly reaches its limits when it comes to more complex requirements. This is precisely where multi-agent systems come in. Instead of relying on an all-rounder, their structure follows the principle of „Division of labour instead of jack of all trades“: Several specialised agents take on different roles, analyse goals, coordinate tasks and check each other's results. This clear specialisation significantly increases the quality and reliability of the results - for example through the following roles:

Planner / Coordinator

Breaks down a goal into meaningful steps

Research agent

Collects and evaluates information

Analysis agent

Checks data, draws conclusions

Executing agent

Creates content, executes processes

Quality agent

Monitors quality & consistency

Compliance agent

Checks rules, guidelines & risks

Why this will be relevant in 2026

The phase of pure prompting - i.e. „do this, do that“ - is slowly coming to an end. Many companies are realising that the next productivity boost will only come when AI can do more than just formulate answers. It needs to understand tasks, plan processes, execute work steps, check results and continuously improve them. As a result, AI is developing from a pure creative assistant into a active labour force within a workflow. For companies, this means one thing above all: processes can no longer just be supported selectively, but can be fully automated.

How multi-agent systems work - simply explained

Imagine a company wants to carry out a competitive analysis for a new product. In the past, we would have asked an LLM to draw up a list that would have been laborious to rework. A multi-agent system works differently. The result is consistent, thorough and often completed faster than a team could do it manually.

Define goal

„Create a complete competitive analysis of our new product segment.“

Planner agent

Breaks down the task: identify the market, research competitors, compare prices, analyse features, evaluate opportunities/risks.

Research agents (parallel)

Search various sources, prepare information.

Analysis agent

Summarises data, evaluates trends, identifies patterns.

Content agent

Formulates the final analysis, creates presentations or reports.

Quality and compliance agents

Remove errors, check contradictions, pay attention to company rules.

Why this development is so important for companies

For companies, the use of AI is no longer just about completing individual tasks faster. The decisive factor is how well entire processes can be supported or automated. This is precisely where multi-agent systems show their potential: the interaction of several specialised agents allows tasks to be distributed more efficiently, results to be checked more effectively and processes to be expanded more flexibly. This results in the following for companies Several key advantages:

speed

Many sub-processes run in parallel instead of one after the other

Quality & reliability

Built-in control mechanisms reduce errors, hallucinations and inconsistencies.

Scalability

New agents can be added or specialised quickly without having to redevelop entire workflows.

What does this mean for us at LM IT?

At LM, we bundle expertise, practical experience and real-life use cases in strategic projects. Multi-agent systems are an integral part of our AI expertise and form the foundation for innovative services, products and consulting offerings. We systematically expand our internal expertise, identify specific added value and actively support our customers on their AI journey. At the same time, we ensure that AI-supported solutions are anchored in our portfolio for the long term. Our focus is on developing a deep understanding of how AI can be specifically orchestrated and seamlessly integrated into real business processes.

Conclusion

2026 is a key year for the transformation of AI: away from individual solutions and towards automated, orchestrated AI systems that act like digital teams. Multi-agent systems open up new opportunities for companies to speed up complex processes, reduce errors and implement innovations more quickly.
We are at the beginning of a phase in which AI is no longer just providing support, it is working with us. And that is precisely why it is now so important to understand these technologies, try them out and develop them further together.

My personal motivation

In my spare time, I started working intensively with creative AI tools early on, from music and images to more complex workflows. What began as private experimentation showed me how enormously versatile AI can be when used for more than just content creation.

Cooperation with the University of Osnabrück

mmoeller — Thu, 19 Mar 2026 08:43:06 +0000

Hands-on learning with added value

How can modern technologies such as Microsoft 365, SharePoint and Artificial Intelligence be conveyed in such a way that they are not only understood but also applied?

This is precisely where our long-standing Cooperation with the University of Osnabrück For several years, we have been supporting students in the field of business informatics with practical workshops and providing insights into real-world application cases from everyday business life.

Knowledge that works in practice

As part of our collaboration, we regularly run courses where we teach key topics related to modern work environments – from Microsoft 365 and SharePoint to current developments in the field of AI. The focus is consciously not just on theory, but on practical application:

How can we digital workflows Make efficient?

How does it work Collaboration across locations?

And how can AI support daily Automating tasks?

Ein wesentlicher Bestandteil der Workshops ist die Working on realistic scenarios. The students develop solutions in groups for typical challenges that occur in companies on a daily basis. A current example: the intelligent processing of incoming emails. The aim was to develop a solution using Microsoft technologies that automatically classifies, prioritises and forwards requests to the correct departments.

Such tasks create a realistic picture of how modern technologies are used in a corporate context and what role topics such as Cloud, Automation and AI playing.

Positive resonance and sustainable learning effect

This year again, the feedback from the participants was very positive, with particular emphasis on the strong practical relevance and the opportunity to work directly with current technologies.

This precise transfer of knowledge into concrete application scenarios ensures a sustainable learning effect and specifically prepares students for the demands of practical work.

Our claim: Combining theory and practice

Our collaboration with the University of Osnabrück has been an integral part of our commitment for many years and takes place on a regular basis. Our goal: Not just imparting knowledge, but applying it directly.

The demands on modern IT landscapes are evolving rapidly, especially with the increasing use of Artificial Intelligence. This makes it all the more important not only to know about technologies but also to understand their sensible application. This is precisely where we come in: with practical formats, concrete use cases, and the clear goal of imparting knowledge in such a way that it makes a real difference in everyday working life.

Kick-off of the LM AI League: Developing AI use cases together

With football shirts, stadium sausages and exciting presentations, the starting signal was given at LM for the LM AI League. The internal format combines knowledge building, practical experimentation and friendly competition on the topic of artificial intelligence.

The aim of the initiative is to further expand AI expertise within the company and at the same time develop concrete use cases that create real added value in everyday working life.

Knowledge building at the start

At the start of the AI League, the focus was initially on learning together. In several workshops participants were able to focus on various AI topics and expand their knowledge. These included the possibilities offered by Microsoft Copilot and Copilot Chat, the development of customised agents in the Microsoft 365 Copilot, as well as workflows, triggers and actions in Copilot Studio. Participants were free to choose which workshops they would like to attend. In this way, everyone was able to receive further training in the areas that are particularly relevant to their own work.

Seven teams develop their own use cases

After the workshop phase, things got sporty: the participants were divided into seven mixed teams. The teams will meet regularly throughout the year to exchange ideas and develop their concepts step by step. The focus is on the question, how AI can be used in everyday working life, for example, to support processes, make better use of existing tools or develop new solutions for employees and customers.

At the end, a winning team is honoured. It is not only the developed use case itself that counts. Active participation, newly acquired Microsoft certifications or badges are also included in the assessment. Equally important is the transfer of knowledge within the company, for example when teams share their experiences and best practices with others.

A format for innovation and collaboration

The AI League is accompanied by joint events and dialogue formats throughout the year. This creates a framework in which new ideas are encouraged, knowledge is shared and employees can work together on solutions. The coming months will show which use cases emerge from the teams. One thing is already certain: The LM AI League brings people together, promotes dialogue and at the same time strengthens AI skills throughout the company.

Our work on site in the schools

Today, our team consisting of Florian Schmedt, Melissa Cummings, Veronika Wagner, Lara Bems and Michael Deters visited two different schools. As part of the first module, the kick-off workshop, they visited the Arnold-Janssen-Gymnasium (AJG) and the Private Bischöfliche Fürstenberg-Realschule Recke.

The aim of the interactive workshops was to teach students practical skills for using AI technologies and to sensitise them to ethical issues. The focus was on the following topics:

Understanding AI

It was worked out interactively how AI works and which common myths can be refuted.

Recognising risks

Our colleague Veronika Wagner emphasised the importance of raising awareness of risks such as deepfakes and hallucinations.

Establish rules

The students, who already showed a good instinct for fakes, jointly developed their own binding class rules for the safe use of AI.

Three phases to the AI solution: start of the Team Challenge

The programme FutureMaker AI is structured in three successive modules. Following the successful completion of the first module - the interactive kick-off workshops at the schools - the classes are now entering the second phase of the project: the „Team Challenge“. This practical phase runs from February to April 2026.

Creative solutions

In groups of five, the students develop their own creative solutions.

Social change

The aim is to overcome social challenges through the use of AI.

Project topics

Possible project priorities are climate / sustainable economy, equal access to opportunities, education in transition or strengthening democracy.

Virtual mentoring

During this one-month phase, our corporate volunteers will continue to support the teams as mentors in virtual consultation hours.

The grand finale in May

The Team Challenge will be followed by the third and final module. The highlight of the initiative is the final event, which is planned for the beginning of May. On 6 May, the best ideas will be presented on the big stage at Microsoft in Berlin. There, the projects will be evaluated by a jury - our colleagues will also be present to provide valuable feedback and honour the winners.

If you don't have digital skills today, you will lose opportunities tomorrow.

We are delighted to make a direct contribution to digital education and the future viability of our region through our voluntary commitment.
