ONE Business & Technology

What ONE Business & Technology does

ONE Business & Technology GmbH is a Frankfurt-based IT management consulting firm founded in 2018 that advises medium-sized companies through to the largest German and European corporations on digital transformation, IT cost optimization, cybersecurity, regulatory compliance, and organizational development. Its service portfolio spans strategy-to-implementation advisory across ten core practice areas — KI Readiness, Strategic & Adaptive Target Operating Models, IT Cost Optimization, Organizational Development, SAP S/4HANA, Cyber Security, Information Security & Compliance, Process Optimization & Automation, Sustainability, and Digital Resilience — supported by project and program management, technology advisory, and product management services. Delivery is anchored in a hybrid project management methodology that combines agile frameworks (Scrum, SAFe, Kanban) with classical standards (PRINCE2, PMI, IPMA), and the firm operates with a manufacturer-neutral positioning between clients and platform vendors such as SAP, LeanIX, and ARIS.

The firm operates five offices — Frankfurt (headquarters), Munich, and Berlin in Germany, plus international locations in Paris and Sydney — with a stated headcount band of 11–50 employees. Its named client base is concentrated in mobility and transportation (Deutsche Bahn, Transdev, Eurowings), telecommunications (Deutsche Telekom), automotive (Audi), intralogistics (Jungheinrich), and IT (Codecentric), with engagement evidence including an HR portal transformation serving 80,000 users at Deutsche Telekom, a SAP S/4HANA migration project of approximately EUR 10 million in volume, and a digital resilience engagement covering 16 critical business services with a 4-hour maximum tolerable downtime at a financial services client. The firm emphasizes rapid project initiation (72 hours from consultation to kickoff) and multi-year embedded relationships with flagship accounts.

Revenue is generated through professional services delivery under time-and-materials or fixed-price project contracts, with public training programs (notably SAFe certification courses) offered as a secondary monetization channel. The firm runs direct enterprise field sales targeting C-level and management stakeholders, with no disclosed intermediary or partner channel. The company is privately held, founder/management-owned (Mike Lange and Marcus Seidel as Managing Directors), with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, funding rounds, or M&A activity in the available record. Employer brand metrics — a Kununu 4.9/5 rating, five consecutive Top Company awards since 2022, and a 100% employee referral rate — are positioned as a talent acquisition lever to support scaling of certified consultant capacity.
