About us
We are elaboratum, your digital consultancy.
elaboratum is digital consulting at the highest level. We have grown from the realization that new thinking cannot be created in old structures. Instead, we have developed a consulting approach for excellent digital projects that creates value from digital customer relationships. And it works!
„So let’s hear it … Voilá!“
Our belief: Relationships are the key to your digital success. Because your customers, prospects, and employees have one thing in common: they are people. We help you understand them and use digital in a way that creates long-term, trusted relationships.
This requires the right strategies, data, technologies, processes, products and concepts. And the right people. That’s why we founded elaboratum as a consultancy that is different: close, collaborative, trusting, creative. This allows us to bring experts with practical experience and top digital talents to your project, who can work with you on the big picture as well as on the implementation.
Together with you, we form a strong team that can tackle digital challenges more efficiently and effectively. Based on real relationships, we align sustainable action with business success.

Hands on: Working with experienced professionals and digital top talents
Why elaboratum?
Experienced
Since 2010, we have been helping to shape the face of the digital economy. Since then, we have created hundreds of shared success stories. Many of our consultants come from leadership positions on the client side. We bring all this to your project with full impact.
Pragmatic
We let others dream, but we focus on real results. Our projects aim to create concrete benefits. If needed, we can take a closer look and make the necessary adjustments. Our goal is to help you succeed by addressing the challenges effectively and efficiently.
Cooperative
We don’t want to work for you, we want to work with you. Our conviction: Only when consulting takes place at eye level is there room for clear points of view — and even a “no” sometimes when good arguments speak against a project. We always take responsibility for this and work hand in hand with you.
Innovative
We operate our own research unit and a cooperative dissertation program. Our close ties to the scientific community, combined with the latest frameworks, ensure new approaches that break with the status quo. Innovation takes place at all levels: in product development, in processes, in strategy or in methods.
Successful
Failure is not an option. We are committed to the success of your project and are proud of the long-term partnerships we have with many of our clients. Despite various awards, this is the currency that counts for us. For us, success is not about meeting goals, it is about exceeding goals. We call this “Always +1”.
Sustainable
Sustainability has been a driving force for us since elaboratum was founded. In 2022, we had our carbon footprint verified by TÜV Süd for the first time (in accordance with ISO14064 and the GHG Protocol)! This shows that we take sustainability seriously and leave no room for greenwashing. In fact, since 2020 we have been offsetting >10% more of our emissions than we cause.
