What IMS Global does

IMS Global (legal name: IMS/OHT Global) is a privately held professional services and consulting firm founded in 2013, headquartered in Houston, Texas, with offices in Madrid (Spain), Bogota (Colombia), Mexico City (Mexico), and São Paulo (Brazil). The firm delivers organizational transformation, risk management, compliance, and operational excellence services organized across 24+ specialized practice areas, including functional safety, business continuity, information security and IT/OT cybersecurity, privacy and data protection, quality management, environmental management, health and safety, asset management, supply chain security, and governance. Its core offerings are consulting engagements structured as custom, engagement-based projects rather than packaged products.

The company's revenue model is professional services-led, with consulting engagements serving as the primary revenue stream. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is delivered through direct, enterprise-focused field sales across regional offices. Beyond consulting, IMS Global offers TITAN Software (a proprietary software product), data center services, and a Corporate University for training and professional development — these represent early-stage productization efforts layered on top of the consulting core. The customer base is dominated by Colombian government and public-sector entities, with additional exposure to financial services (Davivienda, Siigo), healthcare (Nueva EPS), telecommunications (ETB), and energy (Drummond, Ocensa, Pacific Exploration & Production, Neogas) clients across Latin America.

Underlying technology is primarily human-delivered consulting methodology supported by partnerships with certification bodies (LL-C/Lloyd's Register), training providers (ERCA Academy), industry associations (ARCIAM), and technology partners (Lukrum USA). The firm does not disclose proprietary AI/ML technology, software platforms with technical depth, or patents, and its differentiation rests on multi-jurisdiction regulatory expertise, breadth of practice areas, and regional delivery capacity rather than on a defensible technology platform. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting large organizations in regulated verticals, with no evidence of self-serve, SMB, or volume distribution channels.
