What setis does

setis GmbH is a privately held, owner-managed IT automation consulting firm headquartered in Darmstadt, Germany, with subsidiaries in Vienna (Austria, since 2016) and Wollerau (Switzerland, since 2018), employing more than 40 people across the DACH region. Founded in 1997 as a custom software developer and reorganized around Automic Automation since the 2010 partnership with UC4/Automic Software GmbH, the company serves over 100 enterprise customers — primarily in banking and financial services — with consulting, training, managed services, and proprietary add-on software layered on top of Broadcom's Automic Automation platform.

The firm's core technology offering is MyAutomation, a proprietary self-service portal introduced in 2019 and upgraded to version 3 in 2023 with a Story architecture, Story Designer, CLI console, and deployment dashboard with diff viewer. Supplementary proprietary components include a Python-based Confluent Kafka Producer (OAuth via Microsoft Entra ID, AVRO Schema Registry) and a License Reporting Solution for Broadcom execution-based licensing. setis participates in the Broadcom Expert Advantage Program, holds CA Authorized Tier 2 Reseller status, and is a member of the SAP PartnerEdge open ecosystem, which together anchor its position as a specialist partner rather than a generalist integrator.

Revenue is generated through four streams: professional services consulting (advisory, programming, on-site support), modular managed services sold as monthly subscriptions in S/M/L/XL tiers under the "Operate by setis" brand, MyAutomation software licenses with software maintenance agreements, and instructor-led training (Core Automation and Script courses at €2,380 and €1,785 per participant). The go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales across DACH with channel leverage from Broadcom and SAP partner programs; marketing is primarily content-driven via a Know-How blog, LinkedIn/Xing/YouTube presence, and industry events such as the AI & Automation Summit and Automic User Meetings. The company has no external investors, no parent entity, and no public funding rounds on record.
