What SPO does

SPO Consulting GmbH is a privately held German IT consultancy founded in 1989 and headquartered in Bingen am Rhein, Germany. The firm delivers enterprise technology services across three pillars: Development (custom enterprise software in .NET/C#, Python, Solidity, SQL/PostgreSQL, and SAP-integrated systems), Consulting (digital transformation strategy, technology adoption, and AI governance advisory), and Integration (SAP-to-cloud, legacy-to-blockchain, and enterprise-data-to-AI pipeline orchestration). It targets Fortune 500 and global enterprise clients — named customers include Siemens, Shell, SAP, Samsung, Nokia, Lufthansa, Unilever, ABB, Evonik, Tetra Pak, CSL Behring, Schott, Amcor, KSB, Brita, and Langnese — across automotive, manufacturing, energy, pharmaceutical, telecommunications, and consumer goods sectors. The company operates on a project-based professional services model with quote-based, customized engagements and direct field sales.

The firm owns and operates the full Unibright blockchain product portfolio following its 2024 reintegration of the 2018 Unibright spin-off. This includes the UBT utility token (ERC-20 on Ethereum mainnet, 150 million fixed supply), Unibright.ONE synchronization platform, Baseledger enterprise blockchain network, Freequity asset tokenization platform, and ProofMatter AI verification system. A new Proof-of-Execution infrastructure for cryptographic verification of real-world action execution is planned for 2026. In 2025, principals from Audiogroup joined as shareholders, expanding the business into entertainment and immersive media technology.

SPO's go-to-market is enterprise field sales with consulting-led engagements validating technology recommendations through technical deep dives before full implementation. Distribution relies on the company website (spo.de), referrals from existing Fortune 500 clients, and industry event presence. Leadership includes Managing Director Marten Jung, Unibright Co-Founder Stefan Schmidt, and Audiogroup-aligned strategic leader Pierre Langer. The company holds registered brand IP across Unibright, UBT, Baseledger, and Freequity, with Proof-of-Execution filings pending. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.

Partnerships

Two partnerships are on record, tiered flagship and core.

• AudiogroupflagshipStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2025Principals from Audiogroup — a global audio technology and innovation company behind productions like DUNE, Game of Thrones, and Fortnite — joined SPO Consulting as shareholders in 2025. The two companies now work closely together, combining enterprise IT with creative technology and expanding into entertainment and immersive media infrastructure. Strategic partnership for market expansion into new verticals.
• UnibrightcoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2018Unibright was founded in 2018 by SPO team members as a spin-off focused on enterprise blockchain. It conducted a successful ICO and launched the UBT utility token. In 2024, Unibright was fully integrated back into SPO — the token, all software, and IP were absorbed. Today SPO is the steward of the UBT token and entire Unibright product portfolio including Unibright.ONE, Baseledger, and Freequity.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Accenture: Global enterprise consulting and systems integrator with deep SAP, cloud, AI, and blockchain practices. Comparable because it sells the same enterprise IT consulting, digital transformation, and integration services to Fortune 500 clients that SPO targets, but at vastly greater scale and geographic reach.
• Atos: European IT services company delivering SAP, cloud, security, and digital workplace services to large enterprises. Comparable because Atos is a like-sized European competitor pursuing many of the same SAP integration and digital transformation clients, particularly in DACH manufacturing.
• Tata Consultancy Services: One of the world's largest IT services firms with extensive SAP, AI/ML, IoT, and blockchain practices serving global Fortune 500 enterprises. Comparable because TCS targets the same enterprise digital transformation and integration spend pool that SPO competes for across European industrials.
• Deloitte: Big Four advisory firm with large enterprise technology consulting, AI, blockchain, and digital transformation practices. Comparable because Deloitte competes for the same strategic advisory and implementation mandates at Fortune 500 industrials and consumer brands that SPO serves.
• IBM Consulting: Enterprise consulting arm of IBM offering hybrid cloud, SAP, AI (watsonx), and blockchain (Hyperledger) services. Comparable because IBM's blockchain and AI governance offerings overlap directly with SPO's Unibright stack and AI governance/ProofMatter capabilities.
• Infosys: Global IT services and consulting firm with deep SAP, cloud, AI, and digital transformation offerings. Comparable because Infosys competes head-to-head for enterprise integration and managed services engagements with the same manufacturing, energy, and consumer goods clients SPO serves.
• Capgemini: European-headquartered IT services and consulting firm with strong SAP, cloud, data, and emerging-tech practices. Comparable because it competes directly for SAP-led enterprise integration, AI, and digital transformation engagements across the same European industrial Fortune 500 client base.
• NTT Data: Global IT services provider with strong SAP, cloud, and enterprise integration practices, especially in Europe and APAC. Comparable because NTT Data competes for similar enterprise SAP integration and digital transformation engagements with large European industrial clients.

Direct peers

• R3: Enterprise blockchain software firm whose Corda platform underpins intercompany workflows and tokenization across financial institutions and corporates. Comparable because R3 operates in the same enterprise blockchain infrastructure niche as SPO's Baseledger and Unibright.ONE products, serving regulated enterprises with similar go-to-market motions.
• Thoughtworks: Global technology consultancy specializing in custom software, platform engineering, and AI for enterprises. Comparable because Thoughtworks operates at similar scale and positioning to SPO - delivering hands-on engineering, modern tech-stack development, and emerging-tech integration rather than pure strategy work.
