Valantic GmbH (stylised as valantic) is an IT service and consulting company headquartered in Munich, Germany.

History

Valantic GmbH was founded in 2012 under the name Dabero Service Group. Until it was renamed Valantic GmbH in 2017, the company merged with IT service providers and consulting firms. These included, among others, Realtime AG, a company for SAP systems. The companies involved in these mergers were also renamed in 2017 and have since used the Valantic brand name. Realtime AG, for example, became Valantic ERP Services AG.[2]

During the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting economic pressures, demand increased for IT service providers, particularly those offering customised software, IT consulting, SAP services, customer experience, cybersecurity, IoT, and digital work environments.[3] In the following years, Valantic expanded by integrating additional companies.[4][5] In 2021, Valantic expanded into other European countries through the integration of the Dutch company ISM eCompany and the Portuguese consulting firm Abaco.[3] In 2022, the consulting firm C-Clear/Atom Ideas from Belgium joined Valantic.[6]

In February 2019, DPE Deutsche Private Equity Management III GmbH (DPE) took over the majority shareholding in Valantic.[7] The founder, Holger von Daniels, and the further management retained a 25% stake.[8] By 2025, DPE had invested €500 million in Valantic.[9]

In the following years, Valantic expanded its international locations. In 2023, Valantic incorporated the Danish company Inspari into the group, thereby entering the Scandinavian market. Inspari is a company for Microsoft technologies such as Azure and Power Platform.[10] In the same year, Valantic joined forces with the Aiopsgroup, an international provider of online shopping applications for private and business customers of large companies. The company is based in Bulgaria with additional locations across Eastern Europe and other places.[11] Additionally, the SAP applications division was expanded through the merger with the Spanish company Saptools. As a result, the companies became one of the largest European end-to-end consulting and implementation house for SAP services.[12] By the end of 2023, Valantic had locations in 18 countries.[1]

In November 2024, Valantic announced its merger with the Danish digital consultancy Venzo. Through the integration of the company, founded in 2007 and oriented towards Microsoft technologies and digital transformation projects in the areas of automation, artificial intelligence, security, infrastructure and change management, Valantic further expanded its presence in Denmark and the Nordic countries.[13]

In July 2025, Valantic announced its merger with Utiligence GmbH, a Mannheim-based consulting firm for SAP technologies. Utiligence works primarily for the energy industry and supports companies in the integration of SAP S/4HANA and the digitalisation of business processes.[14]

Company structure

Valantic is a partnership-based organisation, with partners acting as decision-makers in matters relating to corporate strategy, employee development and acquisitions.[15] Valantic pursues a holacratic approach, promoting an open and self-organised way of working instead of hierarchical structures.[16] By merging with other companies, Valantic is expanding its range of services and tapping into international markets and market shares.[3] The new companies use Valantic's core systems and support processes, but usually retain their original structure.[17]

In the 2024 financial year, the company generated revenue of €544 million and employed 3,874 on average.[1] Valantic has over 40 locations internationally.[8][1]

Services

Valantic GmbH is a consulting firm, software provider and implementation partner.[8][18] The company offers services in the areas of digital strategy and analytics (business intelligence and data science),[19] customer experience management, SAP services,[20][21][22] smart industries (Industry 4.0, supply chain management, and production planning and control processes),[20] and financial services automation.[21][18]

The automation of financial services is aimed at financial service providers and banks.[23][24]

Valantic has been offering services in the field of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) since 2023. Part of these services involves enabling companies to use GenAI securely and in compliance with regulations in order to make internal work processes more efficient.[25]

Its customers include large corporations, several medium-sized companies and DAX-listed companies.[20]

Research

Since 2018, Valantic has published an annual study on the development of the SAP landscape in German-speaking countries. The study examines topics such as the migration to SAP S/4HANA, cloud strategies, technological trends and the use of artificial intelligence in business processes. The 2025 survey of 201 SAP professionals from the DACH region showed, for example, an increase in ongoing and completed S/4HANA migration projects, as well as a further shift towards private-cloud systems. The use of artificial intelligence continued to grow, as did the use of the SAP Business Technology Platform and the Business Data Cloud.[26]

In 2025, Valantic, together with the Handelsblatt Research Institute, published the trend study Digital 2030 – The Rise of Applied AI. The study was based on a survey of around 700 executives from companies in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland on the economic effects of current digitalisation trends. According to the study, most respondents consider artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and cloud computing to hold the greatest strategic importance for business success by 2030. Around 70% of the participating companies stated that they are already achieving measurable business benefits through the use of AI applications, for example in quality control, document management, logistics, or customer service.[27]
