Company
Founded in 2003, LEXTA now employs over 75 consultants. Our clients include global leaders in the utilities, manufacturing, retail, logistics and telecommunications sectors. This customer base includes 25 DAX companies and another 21 businesses listed on MDAX, SDAX, TecDAX, ATX or SMI.
Apart from bringing a clear-cut focus to IT management consulting, LEXTA also organises events that aim to promote knowledge sharing on a wide range of topics among delegates from all sectors and industries. These events include the long-established ‘Rheingauer Kreis’, now in its fortieth year as well as the ‘CIO(f)’ network, which provides a forum and platform for women in IT management to exchange views on current challenges within the industry. These events are two highly exclusive dates in the German-speaking calendar and enjoy an enviable reputation.
LEXTA has been part of the ‘Fair Company’ quality label initiative from the outset and has even been invited to address the German Bundestag on the subject. Another feather in LEXTA’s cap is its membership of the Global Benchmarking Network (GBN).
