KISMET Consulting

What KISMET Consulting does

KISMET Consulting, Inc. is a privately-held, U.S. professional services firm headquartered in Plainfield, Illinois, providing consulting services to organizations that operate complex document, records, and knowledge environments. The firm was founded in 2006 and operates with a small team of practitioners whose personnel average nearly forty years of industry-related experience drawn from manufacturing, electric utilities, architect-engineering firms, and prior consulting roles. KISMET positions itself as a national consulting firm with primary roots in the nuclear and broader electric-utility sectors.

The firm sells six core service lines: Strategic Planning, Programmatic Support, Technology Consulting, System Design, Professional Training, and Project Management Services, all oriented around electronic document management, electronic records management, and knowledge management. It also runs a recurring training product consisting of two-day Electronic Records Management seminars and Nuclear Industry Document Management overview courses, and it provides specialized consulting modules such as Document Management Strategy and Implementation and Configuration Management Program Enhancement. KISMET does not develop or resell a proprietary software product; its technology stack is advisory rather than productized, with work spanning policy and procedure development, vendor evaluation and RFP support, requirements definition, and full deployment orchestration for enterprise content systems.

KISMET makes money exclusively through professional services fees, with engagement pricing determined on a per-project basis by scope, duration, and complexity. Its go-to-market is enterprise-led direct sales, leveraging referrals from existing clients, case studies published on its website, and association presence through ASME, AIIM, and NIRMA. Its named client roster includes multiple large investor-owned and public-power utilities (Exelon, Duke Energy, Southern California Edison, DTE Energy, Southern Company, Tennessee Valley Authority), major oil and petrochemical firms (Shell, Mobil), the General Motors Powertrain Division, and federal agencies including the U.S. Department of Energy and U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, indicating a customer base skewed toward highly regulated, document-intensive enterprises. No public listing, institutional investors, subsidiaries, or recent funding events are disclosed.
