What Extrema does

Extrema Sistemas is a privately-held Spanish IT training and consulting firm founded around 2002 (operational activity referenced from 2012; legal entity Extrema Sistemas, S.L. registered in Madrid in July 2016) that operates as an official authorized training partner for two major enterprise technology vendors. The company delivers official Google Cloud Platform courses (covering App Engine, Compute Engine, Cloud SQL, Cloud Storage, BigQuery, Kubernetes/Docker) and official Pivotal/Spring courses (Core Spring, Spring Web, Enterprise Integration, Hibernate with Spring) in Spanish and English, both publicly and as customized in-house enterprise training. Its technology stack centers on Java/Spring and Google Cloud Platform expertise, with adjacent capabilities in cloud-native architecture, real-time messaging systems, NoSQL back-ends, and big data tooling.

The firm's revenue model is dual-pronged. First, professional services revenue from training courses (public in-person sessions in Madrid, Barcelona, Tenerife, Rome, Milan, and Mexico City, plus online and in-house corporate deliveries) priced per course, often bundled with official certification exam vouchers, and partially or fully subsidized in Spain via Fundación Tripartita. Second, hands-on consulting and mentoring revenue from architecture redesign, system integration, and platform migration projects. Distribution is sales-led and direct (email/website contact), with a secondary community-led motion anchored by Java User Groups, Google Developer Groups, the company's blog, and event presence (Codemotion Madrid 2012–2017; Commit conference from 2018). Customer concentration is tilted toward large Spanish enterprise and government buyers (Aena, Indra, BBVA, Banco de España, United Nations OHCHR), with public marketing logos also referencing Accenture, Atos, Carrefour, El Corte Inglés, Iberdrola, Mapfre and Movistar.
