What Xtellus does

Xtellus AB is a privately held IT consulting and system integration firm headquartered at Munkbrogatan 2 in Stockholm, Sweden. Founded in 2009 by a group of former IBS (now Iptor) colleagues, the firm specializes in IBM iSeries/AS400 mainframe environments, RPG and Java programming, EDI integration, and web application development. Its central technical asset is Netlang, a deployment platform that supports both on-premise and cloud delivery of integration solutions built on top of the Iptor Enterprise/DC1 ERP (formerly IBS ASW), around which more than a dozen productized web-based add-on modules have been built (trading partner portal, quotation app, technician planner, picking app, searchable archive, supplier item search, and others). Since 2019 the firm has operated as an official Iptor Integration Partner, supporting Iptor's Integrator customers and offering a migration path to Iptor 360.

The business model is professional services delivered through direct consulting engagements on a quote-based, project-by-project basis to enterprise customers running IBM iSeries/AS400 and Iptor Enterprise/DC1 systems. Revenue mechanics combine custom integration and modernization work, RPA-style "robotics" that record and replay 5250 terminal dialogs, and increasingly productized add-on modules layered onto Iptor ERP. Customer concentration appears centered on Swedish enterprise accounts, with named logos including Atea, Dey, and Verisure; geographic coverage outside Sweden is delivered through authorized channel partners — SpeedSolutions in Australia, Protelo Inc in North America, and ICECON in the Nordics — rather than direct offices. The firm reports profitability since inception, has not raised external capital, and maintains a small, founder-led operating footprint.

• Capgemini: Global systems integrator with a dedicated IBM i/AS400 and Application Management Services practice. Competes for enterprise mainframe-modernization RFPs at much larger scale.
