What GET Consulting does

GET Consulting is a privately held Portuguese management and technology consulting firm headquartered in Amadora with a secondary office in Viseu, operating across five integrated service lines: Data Privacy & Security (DPS), Business Consulting Solutions (BCS), Data & Analytics Solutions (DAS), Quality & Certification Solutions (QCS), and Global Outsourcing Solutions (GOS). The firm serves public administration, education, healthcare, and industrial verticals (manufacturing, chemical, pharmaceutical, IT) in Portugal, with a stated mission of decentralizing digital transformation across all regions of the country. Its core client base relies on the firm for GDPR compliance, ISO certification, strategic planning support under the Portuguese SIADAP I framework, and access to EU funding through the Portugal 2020 program, where the firm reports a 90% approval rate and has helped clients secure approximately €8.43 million since 2016.

The firm's technology stack centers on two proprietary platforms — gtraininG LMS+, a learning management system with native compatibility for Jitsi, Zoom, WebEx, and BigBlueButton, and PLACES, a centralized strategic management platform designed to dematerialize SIADAP I processes for public administration clients — alongside third-party integrations with Microsoft, Primavera, Governance.Business, and Nelysis (Vanguard cybersecurity). Its Data & Analytics practice exposes AI, machine learning, predictive analytics, text mining, and digital-assistant capabilities as consulting deliverables rather than as productized AI infrastructure. Delivery methodology is grounded in a science-based approach that leverages the team's academic teaching and research affiliations with Portuguese higher education institutions, and is supported by an extensive certification stack (EU DPO, CNCS/ENISA, ITIL, COBIT 5, Cyber Essentials).

GET Consulting monetizes primarily through professional services engagements (assessments, implementations, training, advisory) under a quote-based, non-publicly disclosed pricing model, supplemented by licensing of its proprietary LMS and strategic management platforms and by facilitating client access to Portugal 2020 public funding. The go-to-market is sales-led and consultative, relying on direct relationship management, content marketing through the GET News blog, social media presence, and leadership positioning within professional associations such as APDPO, ISACA, IAAP, and APQ. The firm employs approximately 15 people and is led by Managing Partners Ricardo Simões Santos and Cláudia Simões Santos together with Partner Miguel Lemos Santos.
