What Consiness does

Consiness GmbH & Co. KG is a privately held Hamburg-based IT consulting and development boutique (founded 2015 as the current legal entity, marketing over 30 years of cumulative SAP experience) operating in the SAP and Microsoft enterprise ecosystem. Its core business is professional services: SAP implementation (with emphasis on logistics and compliance modules), Identity and Access Management (IAM) and GRC Access Control consulting, authorization and role-model redesign for S/4HANA migrations, project management, and test management delivered to mid- and large-cap enterprises across energy, logistics, automotive, banking, steel, chemical, and process industries. The firm sells vendor-independent, multi-platform consulting through a direct, quote-based enterprise sales motion (inbound via email/phone, with DSAG and LinkedIn-driven thought leadership supporting demand generation), and has a wholly-owned delivery subsidiary in Pune, India, established in 2022.

Beyond services, Consiness has built a proprietary software portfolio that codifies parts of its consulting IP: AuthPilot, IDM Suite (rebranded IDM2Go), and a SAP UI5 Auto-versioning tool. The flagship productized asset is the IAM Governance Designer, a web platform at governance-designer.consiness.ai that addresses the structural causes of access-control project failures by providing auditable role models and documented processes. Most distinctively, the firm has developed two proprietary Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers — mcp-abap-adt-api and sapdata-mcp-server — built on Anthropic's open standard, which connect AI systems (Claude, Cursor IDE) directly to on-premise SAP environments via ADT and RFC, enabling AI-augmented code analysis, ABAP development, security audits, and dump analysis without requiring SAP BTP, Joule licenses, or cloud migration. These MCP servers are currently described as in internal use and not yet publicly available, positioning the firm at the intersection of SAP consulting and applied AI tooling.
