What Partake does

Partake Consulting GmbH is a privately held German consulting and software company founded in 2007 and headquartered in Neuss (Meerbusch), Germany, that provides process digitalization, Business Intelligence, and Advanced Analytics services to mid-sized (Mittelstand) and large enterprises in the DACH region. The firm operates a dual 'Consulting & Software in Fusion' model, combining strategy and process consulting with technical implementation, and is led by three Managing Directors — Jochen Brühl (Sales & Marketing), Daniel Simnacher, and Jürgen Günther — alongside a team of approximately 20+ IT and domain experts.

Its core proprietary asset is the nedyx® Low Code platform, a registered trademark enabling rapid development of professional Business Apps without programming expertise and claiming up to 90% reduction in development effort. This is layered on a broad technology stack spanning Microsoft (Power BI, SQL Server, Azure, Fabric), Oracle (Essbase, Hyperion), SAP HANA, Snowflake, and Theobald Software for SAP data extraction (Xtract IS/Xtract Universal), plus lifecycle services around Longview Analytics and AnaplanXL (formerly FluenceXL).

The business model is project-based and quote-driven professional services supplemented by custom software development, training, and ongoing maintenance. Go-to-market relies on direct enterprise and mid-market field sales, free initial consultations, content marketing (including a BI Bytes podcast and active blog), and an ecosystem of core technology partnerships with Microsoft, nedyx software, Oracle, and Theobald Software. The firm has completed 600+ digitalization projects across Finance, HR, Supply Chain, Sales & Marketing, and Production, and counts EnBW and DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung among its named enterprise clients. Recent capability additions include an AI chatbot for natural-language BI querying and predictive analytics, positioning AI as a growing, though not yet foundational, layer of the offering.
