What Saros Consulting does

Saros Consulting is an independent IT consultancy headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, founded in 2012, that delivers advisory and project-management services to large multinational organisations. The firm sells a portfolio of twelve named service lines spanning IT consulting, IT project management, managed project services, AI strategy and governance, M&A consulting, cybersecurity, IT strategy, leadership advisory (including CIO advisory), digital transformation, ITSM consulting, service transition, and regulatory and IT compliance covering frameworks such as GDPR, the EU AI Act, and NIS2. Its go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales, with the firm positioning itself as vendor-agnostic — providing impartial technology advice and embedding consultants into complex, business-critical programmes for clients in life sciences, financial services, retail, energy and resources, and manufacturing.

The company operates across Ireland, the UK, the US, Switzerland, and South Africa, and in October 2025 announced an €8 million investment to fund a new Dublin headquarters and a Cape Town delivery hub alongside the creation of 50 new roles. Its technology layer is thin in the proprietary sense: there is no disclosed platform, API, or SDK; instead, Saros implements and governs third-party platforms (notably ServiceNow ITSM, ESB, SD-WAN, CLM, and similar enterprise stacks) on behalf of clients, supplemented by advisory on AI-powered ITSM features such as virtual agents, predictive analytics, and anomaly detection. The business model is project-based professional services revenue, with engagements negotiated by scope and complexity; there is no public pricing, no productised self-serve offering, and no marketplace or reseller distribution.

Customer evidence includes named enterprise engagements with a global retailer (ServiceNow ITSM for 3,500+ employees), a global insurance leader (hybrid workplace for 13,500 employees in 100+ countries, delivered under a €2.4M budget), a global payments provider (M&A integration across Germany, Sweden, France, and Switzerland), Primark (tablet deployment planning), Certa (PMO establishment for post-merger integration), a global safety-wear retailer with revenues exceeding €500M (contract lifecycle management), a global biotechnology company (mission-critical IT modernisation), and a private bank (API modernisation). Marketing is content-led: original research (a 200-decision-maker study citing €720M in failed enterprise AI spend), a branded podcast, and a CIO industry report, supported by earned media in Irish business publications.
