ARS Computer und Consulting

What ARS Computer und Consulting does

ARS Computer und Consulting is a Munich-based German IT and software engineering consultancy founded in 1992 that delivers digital transformation, AI and data analytics, digital process management, and technology integration services to enterprise and public-sector clients. Since 2024 the firm has operated under the unified ATVANTAGE brand alongside four sibling entities (brainbits, X-INTEGRATE, JOIN (+) and TIMETOACT Software & Consulting) within the TIMETOACT GROUP, which collectively employ 1,700+ staff across 25 cities in Germany, Austria and Switzerland with additional offices in Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and the USA.

The company's technology stack centers on AI and data services (including AI consulting, Agentic AI, KI-Forecasting, AI Agents with WatsonX Orchestrate and proprietary tools such as the swarmsoft generative-AI market analysis solution and a Negotiation Bot), digital process management (process consulting, analytics, integration, enterprise content management), and technology adoption services spanning application modernization, API economy, software engineering, cloud and FinOps. Implementation is anchored in strategic technology partnerships with Atlassian, AWS, Google, IBM (WatsonX, Cloud Pak for Data, Planning Analytics), Microsoft and SAP, with named reference customers in manufacturing (Rodenstock, TRUMPF, Hymer-Leichtmetallbau, Felss Systems), insurance (vdek), healthcare (Agaplesion) and consulting (KC Risk, Galuba & Tofote).

Commercially, ARS generates revenue through professional services — project-based consulting and managed services contracts — sold via direct enterprise sales to Fortune 1000 and public-sector buyers, typically on quote-based, multi-year engagements. No standalone ARS revenue is publicly disclosed; the parent TIMETOACT GROUP reports 460+ million EUR combined revenue for 2025 across the five ATVANTAGE entities.
