External Consulting and Outsourcing

What External Consulting and Outsourcing does

Extérnal Consultoría y Outsourcing S.A. is a privately-held Spanish IT consulting and outsourcing firm headquartered in Plasencia, Cáceres, with operational history spanning over forty years. The company delivers five core service lines — custom programming, technical IT support, telecommunications (fiber, Wi-Fi, VoIP, corporate networks), web development, and graphic design/signage — alongside a recurring-revenue printer rental offering built on a cost-per-copy billing model that bundles equipment, consumables, maintenance, and remote support. Its customer base is concentrated in the Extremadura region and consists primarily of small and medium-sized enterprises.

The company is also an officially homologated Digitalizing Agent (Agente Digitalizador) for Spain's Kit Digital program, a national initiative funded by the European Union's Next Generation EU recovery funds. Through this channel it sells a standardized suite of subsidized digital transformation modules — including website presence, e-commerce, social media management, CRM, ERP-style process management, business intelligence dashboards, electronic invoicing in FACTURA-E format, virtual office, secure communications, cybersecurity, advanced SEO, and marketplace integration — at fixed price points ranging from approximately €125 per user (cybersecurity, secure communications) to €6,000 (process management for larger SMEs). Kit Digital subsidies can cover up to 100% of cost for eligible SMEs in Segments I (10–50 employees), II (3–10 employees), and III (0–3 employees).

The business model is sales-led and primarily direct, combining walk-in and phone-based engagement from the Plasencia office with self-serve lead capture via external.es and the dedicated kitdigital.external.es subdomain. Go-to-market relies on regional brand recognition, government program referrals, organic social media presence on Facebook and Instagram, Google reviews, and educational blog content. Pricing is largely transactional and project-based, with recurring exposure limited to printer rental and Kit Digital parametrizations. The company is privately held as a Sociedad Anónima, appears to be founder/management-owned, and discloses no parent company, external investors, funding rounds, or material M&A activity.
