Silpion

What Silpion does

Silpion IT-Solutions GmbH is a Hamburg-based, owner-managed IT consulting and services firm founded in 2000 by three students and operating continuously for over 25 years. It generates approximately €25 million in annual revenue across a group structure of 10 companies, employing roughly 200 full-time staff and a network of at least 200 freelancers, and is headquartered in Hamburg with offices in Berlin and Langenargen. Silpion serves medium-to-large German enterprises across horizontal and vertical segments (financial services, security-conscious enterprises, general enterprise IT), addressing the dual challenge of running existing systems reliably while implementing rapid change.

The company's core offerings are professional services rather than packaged software. Its portfolio spans IT outsourcing (outsourcing strategy consulting, staff augmentation, managed teams), digital product development and application modernization, ITSM consulting (DSGVO-compliant Ivanti Neurons deployments following ITIL), low-code application development (Intrexx, including AI tool integration), Privileged Access Management implementation (BeyondTrust), and DevSecOps services. Underlying technical capabilities include DevOps and cloud infrastructure (Kubernetes, Terraform, Hetzner), functional programming (Erlang, Elixir), and IT security. Revenue is generated through day-rate professional services, time-and-materials staff augmentation, recurring managed services, and tiered productized entry points (free evaluation workshops, €499 survey workshops, followed by quote-based implementation).

Silpion's go-to-market is enterprise-focused and hybrid. Direct enterprise sales are conducted via phone, email, and contact form, supplemented by event-driven demand generation through self-organized events (solutions:essentials, techcamp.hamburg, Silpion Kicker-Cup), content marketing (a technical blog), and organic social (LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube). The firm also leverages certified implementation partnerships with Ivanti Neurons, Intrexx, and BeyondTrust as both delivery and channel assets. The leadership team is led by owner and Managing Director Patrick Postel, supported by authorized partners Jaroslaw Zdrzalek and Sebastian Schünemann, Director Transformation Jan Schuhfuß, and Senior Consultant Sina Brüggemann. The company is privately held with no disclosed external investors or funding rounds.
