7N

What 7N does

7N is a Copenhagen-headquartered IT consulting firm founded in 1994 that provides premium IT consulting, end-to-end IT solutions, and professional upskilling services across the Nordic region, Poland, India, and the United States, with a recent expansion into Germany via acquisition. The company operates through three service pillars: 360° Sourcing (matching top-3% vetted IT consultants from a network of 7,000+ professionals to client projects), 7N Solutions (outcome-responsible delivery of complex digital programs including AI/data, cybersecurity, agile transformation, and managed services), and 7N Academy (bespoke upskilling courses such as AI Bootcamp, Zero Trust Security, and BPMN). Underlying differentiators include an in-house AI matching tool, the proprietary Data Intelligence Transformation methodology, and a Data Maturity Assessment Tool that evaluates organizational AI-readiness.

The business model is professional services-led, monetizing on engagement-based B2B contracts with enterprise clients across energy, finance, insurance, life science, public sector, logistics, manufacturing, retail, and technology verticals. Notable clients include Euronext Securities, Velliv, Banedanmark, Falck, PFA, IQVIA, AstraZeneca, Michelin, and Bankdata. 7N supports onshore, nearshore, and offshore delivery models and has 1,800+ consultants active on client projects globally, supported by 305 full-time internal employees.

Privately held since Polaris Private Equity's 2024 majority acquisition, 7N is pursuing a growth-through-acquisitions strategy, having integrated Danish firm Globeteam and Munich-based Contractor Consulting into a 7N Group structure. Revenue grew 2% in 2024 with a 5% adjusted EBITDA margin, and the company reported a DKK 17.6 million loss in 2025 reflecting acquisition-related integration costs.

Core offering

7N is an IT consulting firm that matches top-tier IT professionals to enterprise projects and delivers end-to-end IT solutions. Its service portfolio spans three pillars: 360° Sourcing for individual consultants or expert teams; 7N Solutions for full project delivery across software development, AI, data, cybersecurity, architecture, legacy replacement, and managed services; and 7N Academy for professional upskilling and training.

Product overview

7N is an IT consultancy operating as a unified service portfolio built around three core pillars: 360° Sourcing (consultant matching and talent provision), 7N Solutions (end-to-end delivery of IT projects), and 7N Academy (professional upskilling and training). The offering is structured as a services-led portfolio rather than a software product platform. Key named offerings include the Data Intelligence Transformation methodology and AI-Ready Data service for data and AI readiness, the Data Maturity Assessment Tool for evaluating organizational AI readiness, and an internally developed AI matching tool for consultant-to-client matching. 7N's expertise spans AI consulting, data consulting, cybersecurity, IT architecture, infrastructure and cloud, software engineering, agile transformation, project optimization, UX and UI design, and digital operations. The 7N Academy provides training courses including AI Bootcamp, Zero Trust Security, Embracing Agile, Change Management Bootcamp, and BPMN Process Modeling. The company expanded into Germany following the 2024 acquisition of Contractor Consulting, operating under private equity firm Polaris with a growth-through-acquisitions strategy.
