Consense Consulting

What Consense Consulting does

ConSense Consulting GmbH is a privately held IT consulting and training services company headquartered in Münster, Germany, with approximately 25 years of operating history. The firm operates two core offerings: (1) professional IT consulting services covering solution planning, project management, conceptualization, budget planning, integrations, migrations, on-site implementations, and operational support; and (2) a catalog of instructor-led technical training workshops for IT administrators and technical professionals. The workshop catalog spans Microsoft technologies, HCL Notes/Domino, Linux, networking, security (including Sophos XDR and XGS Firewall), virtualization (Proxmox, VMware vSphere 9, Hyper-V), data management (Veeam, Commvault, DataCore), and software development (Git, Docker, Kubernetes, Angular). Workshops are delivered in small groups of up to six participants in-house at the Münster headquarters, outhouse at client premises, or remotely online.

The company's revenue model is professional services — project-based consulting engagements plus per-course, per-participant training fees with group discounts for corporate clients and surcharges for engagements outside standard business hours. Payment terms are net 8 days from invoice. The go-to-market is sales-led, relying on direct contact (phone, email), the public workshop catalog as a demand-generation tool, and a network of 24+ technology vendor partnerships (Microsoft, HCL, VMware, Sophos, HPE, Cisco, Dell, Nutanix, Lenovo, and others) plus the Nordanex channel ecosystem linking to 300+ IT system houses. ConSense is led by Managing Director Gregor Christmann and serves enterprise and mid-market businesses across the Münster, Osnabrück-Bielefeld, and Ruhrgebiet regions of Germany, with additional national and international project references. No proprietary software products, APIs, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed.
