1994–2010: From founding to specialization
Our beginnings as a management consultancy in the IT sector
Our company's journey began in 1994 as a management consultancy with a clear focus on IT solutions. At a time when the internet was still in its infancy, we recognized the transformative potential of this technology and established ourselves as pioneers in a rapidly developing market. From the very beginning, we focused on three key areas of expertise:
-
Innovative Internet technologies and their implementation
-
Highly qualified interim management to bridge critical phases
-
Strategic development of managed IT services
Our particular expertise in IT tender management became apparent early on. We supported both IT providers and direct customers in the professional execution of complex tendering processes and developed customized IT operating concepts (Sourcing IT). The German healthcare sector quickly emerged as a core market, complemented by international interim management for demanding IT transition projects.
2010–2016: Expansion into information security and data protection
The years 2010 to 2016 marked a crucial growth phase in our company's history. With the increasing digitalization of healthcare, we recognized early on the growing importance of information security and data protection as critical success factors.
Implementation according to BSI (Federal Office for Information Security) standards became our hallmark of quality. Our customers benefited from proven best practices and successfully completed certification processes that secured their systems sustainably.
At the same time, we systematically built up GRC expertise according to ISACA® and integrated advanced frameworks such as VAL IT™ and Operational Excellence IT™ into our consulting methodology. These internationally recognized standards enabled us to optimize governance structures and demonstrably increase the added value of IT investments.
Our successful entry into the enterprise segment of energy suppliers expanded our industry spectrum and created valuable synergies between the healthcare and energy sectors – both highly regulated industries with special security requirements.
We developed particular expertise in supporting complex IT splits during company divisions. The secure separation of intertwined IT landscapes while maintaining operational business posed the highest demands, which we met through specialized interim and transition management.
2016–2020: Evolution into strategic IT consulting with a focus on digitalization
Strategic realignment towards digital transformation
Starting in 2016, we underwent a significant evolution from traditional IT consulting to comprehensive strategy consulting with a digital focus. Our focus was on digitalization – not as an isolated technology trend, but as a fundamental transformation with profound organizational implications.
Our healthcare clients faced the challenge of balancing innovative digital solutions with the highest security standards. In response, we developed future-proof operational concepts that seamlessly integrated both aspects, paving the way for a secure digital transformation.
We further expanded our expertise in IT sourcing and IT tender management. By optimizing complex tendering processes and designing efficient IT operating models, we were able to achieve significant cost savings while simultaneously improving quality for our customers.
The increasing threat landscape in cyberspace has led to a significantly greater emphasis on cybersecurity, information security, IT security, and data protection. The introduction of the GDPR in 2018 further reinforced this trend and made compliance a business-critical factor.
To successfully implement demanding transformation projects, our experienced consultants increasingly took on interim CIO or CISO roles. These temporary leadership roles enabled us to directly manage change processes and implement sustainable changes.

2020–2023: Industry specialization and AI innovation
The years 2020 to 2023 marked a phase of targeted industry specialization and technological innovation. During the COVID-19 pandemic, digitalization in healthcare accelerated dramatically, leading to increased demand for consulting services.
We responded by significantly expanding our consulting expertise in the healthcare sector. Our experts developed customized solutions for the specific requirements of statutory and private health insurers (SHI/PHI), hospitals, and other healthcare organizations.
The implementation of the Hospital Future Act (KHZG) and the associated digitalization projects became an important field of activity.
At the same time, we continued to expand our cybersecurity expertise in the energy sector. The increasing interconnectedness of critical infrastructures and the growing threat of cyberattacks made robust security concepts indispensable.
Our cross-industry experience has enabled us to transfer and adapt proven safety standards from the healthcare sector to the energy sector.
The preliminary culmination of our innovative strength was the launch of artificial intelligence in the consulting environment in 2023. As pioneers, we recognized the transformative potential of AI technologies for our healthcare clients and developed initial use cases:
-
AI-supported analysis of patient data to optimize clinical processes
-
Intelligent automation of administrative processes in health insurance
-
Predictive maintenance systems for critical medical infrastructures
-
AI-based early detection of cybersecurity threats
The integration of AI-supported methods into our existing industry focus marks the beginning of a new chapter in our company's history. We are convinced that the combination of deep industry knowledge, long-standing IT expertise, and innovative AI solutions represents an unbeatable value proposition for our customers.
