What Rosenthaler Partner AG Management und Informatik does

Rosenthaler + Partner AG Management und Informatik (R+P) is a privately held Swiss management and IT consulting firm founded in 1989 and headquartered in Basel, with a secondary office in Zürich. The firm operates as a professional services consultancy with 11-50 employees (approximately 18 named specialists visible, headed by Managing Partner Rainer Koch and Chairman Herbert Notter), delivering advisory and implementation work in three integrated practice areas: process management, project management, and information and data management. Its core technology stack centers on data modeling, BPMN 2.0, GIS (PostGIS, QGIS, FME, INTERLIS), BIM (Industry Foundation Classes / IFC Rail), and the HERMES project management methodology, with proprietary methodology for temporal data modeling and historization applied across road and rail information systems.

R+P serves primarily public-sector clients in Switzerland and Germany. Its customer base is heavily skewed toward Swiss federal authorities (ASTRA, BAV, swisstopo), the national railway SBB, regional railways (BLT, RhB, SZU, TPF, FWB), multiple cantonal road and construction authorities (Kantone Zürich, Aargau, Zug, Uri), and German federal/state agencies (strassen.nrw in NRW, BMVI/BISStra, Bayern BAYSIS). Notable case outcomes include the cross-departmental data platform serving approximately 6,000 employees at strassen.nrw, MISTRA traffic data analysis and Belastungsplan generation for ASTRA, and the ASTRA Floating Car Data pilot for real-time traffic-jam detection.

The business model is professional-services project billing through direct, long-term consulting engagements acquired via public procurement and decades-old client relationships. The firm is partner-owned (with five named partners on the Verwaltungsrat) and has never raised external capital; revenue and pricing are not publicly disclosed. Marketing and lead generation rely on the corporate website, the firm's role in VSS and buildingSMART International standardization bodies, and published research reports, with social media as supplementary visibility.
