HMR Consulting

What HMR Consulting does

HMR Consulting GmbH is a privately held German IT system house (IT-Dienstleister / Systemhaus) headquartered in Kaarst, North Rhine-Westphalia, with continuous operation since its commercial-register entry in February 2001 (predecessor activity from 1994). The firm operates two integrated service lines: Anwendungsentwicklung (custom software development), covering requirements analysis, concept design, and implementation with a stated focus on long-term maintainability and regulatory compliance, and IT-Infrastruktur, covering planning, setup, and maintenance of computer workstations, servers, networks, virtualization (Hyper-V, XEN), site networking/VPN, telecommunications (VoIP via Auerswald, Placetel, and Starface), and IT support for medical practices. Supporting offerings include Soforthilfe/Fernwartung (TeamViewer-based remote support), IT-Urlaubsvertretung (vacation coverage), and a vertical-specific KZV-Kostenrechner utility for dental practices.

Underlying technology is Microsoft-centric (Windows infrastructure, Hyper-V virtualization) with on-prem deployment of neural networks and generative AI inside HMR's own Kaarst data center, using inference engines whose source code is available. Cybersecurity is delivered through a Sophos Authorized partnership; telecommunications is multi-vendor across German PBX makers and cloud PBX providers; TAPI integration links the PBX to ERP/business software. The company states ISO 27001-aligned data-protection practices, which underpins both its regulated-customer positioning and its local-AI differentiator.

HMR makes money primarily through managed-services revenue: recurring Wartungsverträge (maintenance contracts) bundling remote monitoring, on-site and remote support, and proactive service, plus project-based professional services for custom software and infrastructure rollouts. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with a free initial consultation offered to prospects. The customer base is concentrated in two segments — German Mittelstand (SMB networks of 2–200 workstations) and Arztpraxen (medical/dental practices requiring regulated IT workflows) — and is geographically concentrated in the Greater Düsseldorf/Krefeld/Cologne area of North Rhine-Westphalia. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, supported by the corporate website, TeamViewer-based self-serve remote support download, and partner-channel referrals.
