Strategic Consulting for Defense & Aerospace

Ability to Act in Times of Strategic Change

Geopolitical shifts, new forms of conflict, and rapid technological progress are fundamentally transforming the defense landscape. Armed forces, public authorities, and security-critical organizations are increasingly required to act faster, more interconnected, and more resiliently. In this environment, it is no longer sufficient to merely maintain existing systems — they must continuously evolve and remain competitive in a highly dynamic landscape.

We support you in precisely aligning your organization, processes, and technical capabilities with this new reality. In doing so, we create the foundation for proactively addressing the challenges of modern missions and maintaining operational readiness — today and in the future.

Digital Superiority from a Single Source: From Strategy to Secure Mission

We provide forward-looking consulting for the strategic alignment of organizations, technologies, and operations. Our goal is to develop mission-critical capabilities that enable you to effectively address future challenges and achieve strategic objectives efficiently—while taking into account technological trends, regulatory requirements, and operational conditions.

Military superiority depends on cross-domain collaboration (land, sea, air, space, cyber and information domain) within integrated chains of effects and decision-making. This involves not only national armed forces, but also international alliances and the inclusion of civilian actors (e.g., public safety organizations).

We develop solutions that ensure seamless communication and interoperability, forming the foundation for synchronization, speed, and effectiveness. In doing so, we address the following key challenges:

  • Fragmented, isolated solutions,
  • Lack of collaboration between military and civilian actors,
  • Dependence of multinational interoperability on common IT standards, as well as
  • Slow development and decision-making cycles.

Our response is a digital, cloud-native “mission ecosystem” aligned with NATO standards. It is complemented by interfaces to existing systems and applications for mission planning and execution and includes secure IT infrastructures — on-premise or as a service. BizDevOps models in civil-military partnerships, software-defined defense, and AI solutions accelerate analysis and decision-making.

With these approaches, we enable faster operationalization of new capabilities, the preservation and enhancement of combat effectiveness, and the value-driven utilization of high-value assets. As an IT-driven, OEM-independent partner with a strong military mindset, we provide you with the necessary expertise and reliability.

We identify AI potential across your mission and support processes, prioritize use cases, and support you end to end—from data enablement and model design to secure deployment, including governance, auditability, and human-in-the-loop.

With our architecture consulting, we bring clarity to complexity and lay the foundation for digital superiority. For us, architecture is far more than a technical blueprint—it is a strategic leadership instrument and a key lever for sovereignty, defense capability, and meaningful transformation.

We design architectures that ensure technological security, enable operational readiness, and support sustainable long-term decision-making. Our consulting translates our clients’ digital mission into robust architectural principles and models, creating transparency across systems—from sensor to shooter—and making dependencies, interfaces, and effects chains visible and manageable.

With a clear focus on future viability, we guide your organization along established fields of action and design within digital transformation. We reduce complexity, systematically develop capabilities, and identify risks at an early stage. A security-by-design approach is embedded in every component, resulting in robust, resilient, and defense-ready systems. Based on established frameworks, standards, and tools—including NAFv4@ADMBw, ARIS4BWI, and other relevant standards—we ensure that our architectures remain visionary, sovereign, and fully interoperable. This creates a digital architecture that enables armed forces, public authorities, and security-critical organizations to maintain technological superiority in planning, simulation, and operations, and to establish a resilient security posture.

Our expertise spans the entire lifecycle of defense projects. We support you from design through certification by authorities such as the BSI or DEUmilSAA and produce security documentation in accordance with established, methodologically sound standards. In doing so, we integrate security as a strategic success factor from the very beginning.

Our services include the derivation of IT security requirements and the development of comprehensive security concepts. We design security-oriented system architectures and solutions, implement and integrate appropriate security mechanisms, and carry out the verification and validation of all IT security requirements. In addition, we support accreditation and approval processes and prepare the required security documentation in all project phases. We apply proven methodological approaches and consistently rely on the BSI IT-Grundschutz as well as tools such as SAVe and verinice.

Support within a security-by-design approach includes:

  • Derivation of IT security requirements
  • Development of comprehensive security concepts
  • Design of security-oriented system architectures and solutions
  • Implementation and integration of appropriate security mechanisms
  • Verification and validation of all IT security requirements

Our team combines highly specialized expertise in information security with a deep understanding of military processes. We do not offer off-the-shelf theory, but solution-oriented approaches with tangible added value. This ensures that your systems not only meet the industry’s stringent security standards, but are also tailored, transparent, and verifiably secured.

Even after commissioning, our specialized teams continue to support you during regular operations of your system landscape. Our security and network operations teams, vulnerability management experts, and penetration testers assist you in maintaining professional operations and ensuring the effectiveness and efficiency of your information security measures over the long term.

With our SAP consulting services for the German Armed Forces, we create trust, stability, and future readiness while supporting the digital transformation of your business and command processes. SAP serves as the central ERP system for managing finance, logistics, personnel, and resources. Our SAP consulting combines technological excellence with a deep understanding of military structures, public sector budget logic, and security-critical requirements.

SAP S/4HANA & SASPF Transformation
As part of the SASPF program, we support the German Armed Forces in migrating existing SAP systems to SAP S/4HANA. Our focus is on process standardization and harmonization, reducing custom solutions, and building a future-proof, maintainable system landscape. From transformation strategy and technical implementation to go-live, we take responsibility across all phases of the project lifecycle.

Process and Functional Consulting
We analyze, design, and optimize business processes across finance (FI/CO/PSM), logistics and maintenance (MM, EAM), human resources (HCM), and budget management. In doing so, we consistently consider regulatory requirements, compliance obligations, and the specific conditions of military organizations.

Implementation & Customizing
Our SAP experts handle system customizing, integration with adjacent systems, and the implementation of cross-module architectures. We ensure that finance, logistics, and procurement processes are mapped end-to-end, transparently, and in an audit-compliant manner. Structured testing and rollout concepts ensure stable system deployment.

Application Management & Operations
We remain a reliable partner during ongoing operations. Our application management services include 2nd- and 3rd-level support, error analysis, system optimization, and SAP master data governance to sustainably ensure data quality.

Modern User Experience with SAP Fiori
Using SAP Fiori and SAPUI5, we develop role-based, intuitive user interfaces. This increases user acceptance and improves efficiency and transparency in daily operations.
