Sotec Consulting

What Sotec Consulting does

Sotec Consulting is a Spanish IT consulting firm founded in 1996 in Madrid, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Groupe Astek, a French multinational engineering and consulting group founded in 1988. The firm delivers information technology consulting, strategic management advisory, and digital transformation services to enterprise clients across five primary verticals: banking and insurance, healthcare, energy, public administration, and industry/manufacturing. Service delivery operates through three engagement models — managed services (with SLA-backed operational continuity), technical assistance (specialized staff augmentation), and closed projects (fixed-scope, fixed-timeline deliverables). The firm employs 101-250 people and operates as the Spanish delivery arm of Astek Group, which is present in more than 20 countries.

Beyond professional services, Sotec has built a portfolio of ten proprietary technology products addressing distinct verticals: Verify Doc (document security for banking/invoices), OIGO (smart-city citizen participation with NLP and semantic analysis), Best Legal Assistance and Best Medical Assistance (insurance-sector document and assistance management), Conecta (enterprise collaboration), Compliance (GRC platform aligned with ISO 31000:2018), Securegrid (energy-sector smart grid cybersecurity using blockchain, honey pots, and deep learning), UBICAU (field service geolocation), ChatBot (NLP-based conversational interface), and Gamificación (organizational talent gamification tools). Underlying technology coverage spans Big Data, Blockchain, IoT, AI/Machine Learning/Deep Learning, predictive analytics, Industry 4.0, and gamification. The firm holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 27001:2022, and ISO IEC15504 SPICE certifications, and has maintained the Spanish 'Sello de Pyme Innovadora' (Innovative SME Seal) since 2015.

Revenue is generated through a mix of professional services engagements (consulting, managed services, staff augmentation, closed projects, training) and proprietary software licensing across target verticals. The customer base includes large enterprise accounts such as Santander, BNP Paribas, Línea Directa, Sanitas, Quirón, Leroy Merlin, Daimler, Gestamp, ADIF, RTVE, Indra, and Accenture, indicating established relationships with major Spanish and multinational corporations in regulated industries. R&D is sustained through co-funded programs with CDTI (PID), MINETUR-AEESD, and EUREKA cluster ITEA3, in partnership with Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Universidad de Murcia, and Tecnalia.
