XLENT Consulting Group

What XLENT Consulting Group does

XLENT Consulting Group is a privately held Nordic IT and strategy consulting firm founded in 2005 and headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden. The company delivers professional services through a workforce of approximately 500 employees ("drygt 500 medarbetare") placed across 18 offices — 15 in Sweden and 3 in Norway (Oslo, Ålesund, Trondheim) — and serves enterprise clients, public sector bodies, and nonprofit organizations. Its service portfolio spans seven core offerings: Data Analytics & AI Readiness, CRM & Business Systems, Cyber Security, Leadership & Strategy, AI & Digitalization, System Development & Integration, and Sustainability Reporting, supplemented by RPA delivery and customer-specific platform builds such as Inno-Vera (an AI-driven innovation management platform for Örnsköldsviks kommun) and GIT/Min Golf (a 20-year IT partnership with Svenska Golfförbundet).

The underlying technology stack is Microsoft-centric: .NET Core / C# on modern platform architecture, Microsoft Azure cloud, Azure AI services, Microsoft Integration Services, and Microsoft Power Automate for RPA, with secondary competence in Blue Prism and UiPath. XLENT has built a proprietary research asset — the AI Maturity Survey — co-produced with Differ and Folden Advisory, which serves as a top-of-funnel content marketing vehicle and positions the firm as a thought leader on AI readiness in Scandinavia. The firm operates a flat organizational model in which all employees are consultants and contribute to business development, with no dedicated external sales force.

XLENT generates revenue through time-and-materials and project-based consulting engagements, typically structured as multi-year contracts with enterprise and public-sector clients. Pricing is custom-quoted per engagement with no publicly disclosed rate cards. The firm's customer base is concentrated in the Nordics, with anchor relationships spanning 20+ years (Svenska Golfförbundet, since at least the mid-2000s) and recurring multi-year mandates (Kyrkans pension since 2013). Marketing is executed through the company's own website, the AI Maturity Report, LinkedIn, the Teamtailor-powered careers portal, and the "Träningsnätverket" community/networking initiative. XLENT AB is the legal entity, domiciled in Sweden, with no disclosed parent company, no external funding rounds, and no public listing.
