XLENT

What XLENT does

XLENT is a privately held Nordic IT and management consulting firm founded in 2005 and headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, operating under the legal entity XLENT AB. The firm delivers business-near ("verksamhetsnära") IT consulting services across eight practice areas: Data Analytics and AI Readiness, CRM and Business Systems, Cyber Security, Leadership and Strategy, AI and Digitalization, System Development and Integration, Sustainability Reporting, and Change Management. Its core technology stack is anchored on the Microsoft ecosystem — Azure (Service Bus, Event Grid, Functions, Logic Apps, API Management), Dynamics 365 CE, and the Power Platform — supplemented by RPA partnerships with Blue Prism and UiPath, and the internally developed GIT system for the Swedish Golf Federation.

XLENT employs just over 500 people organized across 18 local offices (15 in Sweden spanning Luleå to Malmö, and 3 in Norway in Oslo, Ålesund, and Trondheim), with Stockholm serving as the regional HQ housing nearly half of all staff. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales delivered through these local offices, with consultants placed at client sites individually or as full project teams. Engagements are sold on a project-based or time-and-materials basis (no public pricing). Customers include a horizontal base of Swedish and Norwegian organizations of all sizes, with named anchors in sports federations (Svenska Golfförbundet, 20+ years), pension administration (Kyrkans pension, since 2013, c.106,000 insured members, c.28 billion SEK), municipal public sector (Örnsköldsvik), and AI platform delivery (Inno-Vera). Notable adjacent initiatives include the Hållbara konsulter sustainability program and the co-produced AI Maturity Survey 2026 with Differ and Folden Advisory.
