What LEXXON does

LEXXON GmbH is a privately held German IT consulting and services firm founded in 1996 by Udo Lederer and headquartered in Lampertheim. The company operates as a professional services organization delivering complex enterprise IT programs, with the portfolio organized under the Explorix sub-brand across three service lines: Explorix Kompetenz for project management of transformation, migration, and go-live phases; Explorix Digitalisierung for Liferay portal development and modernization; and Explorix Innovation for AI-powered search and analysis. Underlying technology expertise spans Liferay portal development, Azure Cloud infrastructure, Microservices architecture, Java-based development, and SAP integration. Notable proprietary capabilities include semantic and phonetic search, context analysis, and person/duplicate recognition used to link fragmented data sources.

LEXXON serves large corporations, German Mittelstand companies, and public administration, with a publicly cited customer base that includes Ford, Land Rover, Jaguar Cars, BASF, IBM, Wüstenrot, Wiesbaden, Hays, TechM, USU, and Wahler across automotive, chemicals, financial services, public sector, and IT services verticals. Revenue is generated through project-based professional services engagements, with pricing determined per individual contract; the company cites successful delivery of "million-level" projects including SAP core banking portfolio integration and complex CutOver/migration programs. Marketing is conducted primarily through the German-language website (lexxon.de), SEO, and customer references, and LEXXON claims delivery capability across DACH, broader Europe, and North America despite a single German office.

The firm holds a registered trademark, has won the BASF Digital Award 2021 for an innovation project, and reports no external investment, parent company, subsidiaries, or acquisitions. Headcount is reported in the 11–50 employee band, and the company remains founder-led with Udo Lederer as managing director. Forward-looking product emphasis includes Liferay Community Edition-to-core migration services and packaged AI search capabilities, positioning the firm for incremental rather than transformational expansion.
