What UIT GmbH does

UIT GmbH (operating as "UIT – united intelligence") is an Austrian independent IT consulting and services firm headquartered at Ruckergasse 30-32, Vienna, organized as a Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung and wholly owned by General Manager Mag. Thomas Widder. The company has been operating since at least 2010 (dated AGB) and serves organizations primarily across the DACH region in regulated, process-intensive verticals — healthcare and research, insurance, banking, manufacturing, and telecommunications. Its customer roster includes Shimadzu Handelsgesellschaft, WertInvest, Wiener Tafel, Kuratorium, and PVS.

The firm's core offerings span five pillars: (1) IT consulting and project management focused on business process optimization, (2) data protection and GDPR/DSGVO compliance including a retainer-style external Data Protection Officer service, (3) cybersecurity and NIS 2 directive (EU 2022/2555) compliance consulting, (4) electronic signature solutions delivered through a technology partnership with signotec (signature pads, mobile signing, and biometric signature APIs), and (5) dedicated and virtual web hosting on monthly recurring billing. UIT positions itself as vendor-independent and pairs each engagement with credentialed specialists — including PMP-certified project managers, a CIPP/Austrian Standards-certified data protection lawyer, a Certified Fraud Examiner, and dedicated cybersecurity personnel.

Commercially, UIT runs a sales-led, time-and-materials professional services model: services are billed by time with a minimum unit of 10 minutes and billable travel time, while hosting is billed monthly in advance. Customer acquisition is via direct sales, website inquiries (uit.at), and professional networking. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, there are no funding rounds or M&A signals, and ownership is fully concentrated in the founder/CEO — the firm operates as a tightly held boutique rather than a venture-backed or PE-aligned entity.
