viadee Unternehmensberatung

What viadee Unternehmensberatung does

viadee Unternehmensberatung AG is a German IT management consultancy headquartered in Münster (with offices in Köln, Dortmund, and Hannover) that has delivered bespoke IT and organizational consulting since 1994. The firm is organized around nine specialist competency areas — software architecture and development, data and AI, BPM and process automation, organizational development, project management, business analysis, cloud architecture, IT security, and quality engineering — and positions itself as technology-agnostic, embedding senior practitioners into client teams rather than reselling a single vendor platform.

The revenue model is anchored in multi-year, project-based professional services engagements (coaching/mentoring through fully-dedicated project teams), supplemented by three secondary streams: (i) a structured seminars and training portfolio covering AI, cloud, test automation, IT security, and clean code (delivered publicly and in-house); (ii) licensed software products including BPMN Modeler Enterprise and DMN Modeler for Confluence (listed on the Atlassian Marketplace); and (iii) proprietary operational tooling such as the open-source-based viadee Testframework (vTF), which integrates Selenium-based web UI testing, mobile testing, database verification and web-service testing behind an Excel-driven browser interface and has been extended into Robotic Process Automation use cases. In 2023, viadee launched viadee spark as a dedicated sub-brand for organizational development, transformation, culture change and agile methods.

The customer base is concentrated in German regulated industries — insurance (Provinzial, Barmenia Gothaer, RheinLand, LVM, S Rating, Accidenta, Eucon), banking (NRW.Bank), public/healthcare (kvw, KVBW, Bitmarck), and adjacent enterprise verticals including retail/e-commerce (REWE Digital, Gerry Weber), logistics (Rhenus, TimoCom), manufacturing (Westfleisch, Rosen Gruppe), automotive (Carglass) and energy (E.ON). Distribution is primarily direct enterprise sales through the four-city footprint, augmented by Atlassian Marketplace listings and the Robot Framework Usergroup Münsterland community initiative. The firm employs 130+ people, reports more than 3,500 completed projects over its operating history, and is privately held as an Aktiengesellschaft without external disclosed investment.
