About us

The people behind Ascentra Solutions

Ascentra Solutions stands for clear IT, effective delivery and honest collaboration. We are neither a traditional consultancy nor a systems integrator. We bring order to complex IT projects and make sure they move forward.

What we stand for

  • Method loves technology

    We work with our own method, which accompanies the deal and keeps progress visible at all times. For analysis we use AI, run locally wherever possible when critical data is involved.

  • A boutique for IT in transactions and transformations

    As a boutique IT consultancy, we take care of everything IT in acquisitions, divestitures and complex transformations. We are at our strongest where the time pressure to decide and act is extremely high.

  • Get it done

    Projects are about getting things done. Slides are nice to look at, but we want to have an impact. So we roll up our sleeves and do whatever it takes in every phase to move forward, even when it is not in the role description.

  • From the engine room to the boardroom

    We have worked in consulting and in industry, held management roles there and advised executive boards, always focused on IT or strategic organisational development. That is why we speak the language of every level.

Our team

We are a boutique IT consultancy based in Wolfsburg, Germany, for carve-outs, post-merger integrations, ERP with Odoo and IT projects in distress.

Confidentiality and data security

In transactions, we work with information that must not get out. This is how we handle it.

  • NDA before the first conversation

    If you like, we sign a non-disclosure agreement before you share any details of your project.

  • Data in the EU

    Client data is stored in our Microsoft 365 tenant with data residency in the EU.

  • AI with care

    Where critical data is involved, we use locally run AI wherever possible. We only use other services where necessary, and always with a data processing agreement.

  • Deletion after the project

    We return or delete documents from data rooms and projects once the work is complete, unless there is a legal obligation to retain them.
