Bizzdesign, MEGA International and Alfabet have combined to form a powerhouse in Enterprise Transformation. In this FAQs, you’ll find answers about what this new chapter means for everyone.
Bizzdesign has experienced consistent strong and profitable growth in recent years. Since Main Capital Partners, a private equity investor, acquired a majority stake in Bizzdesign two years ago, we’ve actively explored opportunities to complement our organic growth through mergers and acquisitions.
The enterprise architecture market has gained significant importance as a critical enabler of effective digital transformation. Historically, the market has been highly fragmented, consisting of numerous small vendors and ten recognized leaders in thee 2024 Gartner® Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Architecture Tools. The market was ripe for a change.
We have a game-changing vision for a more collaborative and inclusive approach to Enterprise Transformation, going beyond traditional enterprise architecture boundaries to empower a broader set of stakeholders with end-to-end, AI-powered insights for better and faster transformation.
By combining with MEGA International and Alfabet, we bring together stellar talent in the industry with proven track records of leadership and success.
Second, we bring together three distinct-but-complementary propositions, including key adjacent use cases to Enterprise Architecture, representing a significantly increased value for customers, and a larger adressable market for Bizzdesign.
Third, this creates a truly global player, enabling us to provide the best customer experience in the market with global expertise and local support.
Fourth, we now have the combined resources to dramatically accelerate the execution of our vision.
There is also a strong cultural fit across the three merger parties. Each organization brings a shared passion, deep expertise and thought leadership, and a long-standing commitment to enterprise architecture.
In summary, this is an unprecedented opportunity to create a truly global, focused, independent organization with deep domain expertise and the resources to accelerate innovation in Enterprise Transformation.

The new organization has approximately €110 million in revenue, 2,000 customers, and 600 employees. The group has a strong global presence, covering all key regions, including Europe, North America, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Latin America. The combined organization provides the most comprehensive end-to-end transformation offering in the market covering:
The combined organization will operate under the Bizzdesign brand.
It’s business as usual for existing customers. They will receive at least the same level of support as they currently do. Each product will continue to have a full roadmap, and we commit to executing these roadmaps for at least the next five to seven years. There is no disruption to current offerings and roadmaps. All three companies provide market-leading offerings, making each a strong choice for prospective customers looking for an Enterprise Architecture or Enterprise Transformation solution. Given the greater scale and resources of the combined organization, customer investments in our products are secure and will represent a stable, profitable long-term partner.
A key driver is to bring together the ‘best of each’ offering into the most comprehensive Enterprise Transformation platform on the market. By combining distinct but complementary propositions and product DNA, we can create something truly compelling and different. And by combining resources, we can dramatically accelerate our innovation to outpace the competition.
We’re developing a new platform to provide a fresh approach, combining the best of the three existing propositions. While we aren’t sharing specific details, it will be AI-powered throughout, cloud-native, and will offer a more intuitive, engaging and accessible experience for all transformation stakeholders.
No one will be required to migrate to the new platform. Customers can choose to remain with their existing products. For customers who prefer to stay with their current solutions, we will continue to support them fully.
For customers who choose to migrate – and we expect that many will, due to the compelling value proposition – we will provide a smooth, efficient, and cost-effective migration path at the time that is right for them.
No. There will be no interruption in service, and customers will continue to have access to their data as usual.
All existing agreements, quotes, and support structures – including associated costs – remain intact. There is no impact to existing contracts.
It is business as usual for upcoming renewals, with no changes. Customers can benefit from our greater global presence and increased financial resources.
We’re committed to informing you of our plans as we integrate our teams, technology, and vision.
