About Us
The founder
Oliver Scheffert has firsthand knowledge of the challenges IT companies face. With a completed doctoral program in Business Administration and a Master’s in “International Business Studies”, he is not only academically accomplished but also brings practical experience from his many years of service in the industry.
At Microsoft, where he worked in various leadership roles for almost 13 years, he played a significant role in the development of the ISV business division in Germany. However, for Oliver, numbers and personal accomplishments are just part of the story. He has received various awards like the Circle of Excellence Platinum Award, but he sees his true successes in the teams he has built and led and in the corporate cultures he has helped shape.
After his time at Microsoft, Oliver served as General Manager at Aparavi Software Europe GmbH, before realizing his vision and founding CNSLT Partners. Today, he leverages his extensive experience to assist IT companies in crafting their own success narratives.
For Oliver, business consulting is more than just a job. It’s his passion to identify potential within a company and empower it to fully realize that potential.
“I love working closely with my clients,” says Oliver, “to develop tailored, effective, but also pragmatic solutions. In the end, it’s the collaboration that makes the difference.”

Whether it’s formulating growth strategies, fine-tuning organizational processes, or expertly guiding through global expansion – we act as a steadfast and committed partner alongside software manufacturers.
However, our scope isn’t limited to just one industry or the German-speaking regions. Thanks to our extensive and diverse network of experts, we can effectively support businesses in other countries and various segments of the IT sector – and beyond. This includes companies at any stage of their digital transformation, whether they’re in the financial sector, healthcare, retail, or any other industry. For these businesses, we devise purpose-driven solutions that not only digitalize their business models but also sustainably optimize and future-proof them.
In every project we undertake, our foremost objective remains clearly defined: We pave the way for our clients towards innovative, efficient, and future-proof business solutions.
At CNSLT Partners, we place paramount importance on quality and integrity at every stage of our consulting process. To ensure this, we adopt a rigorous and transparent approach based on the following pillars:
- Expert Selection: We rely on a network of esteemed professionals, chosen for their extensive experience, superior qualifications, and pertinent references.
- Expertise Verification: We hold the up-to-date knowledge of our consultants in high regard. We regularly check to ensure our experts are current with the latest advancements in their respective fields.
- Transparency and Communication: We maintain an open and candid line of communication with our clients. This means consistently presenting our progress and results transparently and actively seeking and implementing feedback.
- Tailored Solutions: Our consulting approaches are customized to the needs and objectives of our clients. We eschew “one-size-fits-all” solutions, opting instead for strategies and solutions precisely aligned with the specific requirements of each client.
- Independence and Objectivity: As an independent consulting firm, we commit to absolute objectivity and integrity. Our recommendations are always in the best interests of our clients and free from any external influences.
- Quality Assurance: We subject our work to stringent internal reviews to ensure it meets our quality benchmarks. Additionally, we welcome external audits and client evaluations to continually assess and enhance our performance.
- Adherence to Ethical Principles: We strictly abide by a predefined code of conduct that ensures integrity, confidentiality, and professional behavior. This code binds all our employees and external consultants, forming an integral part of our corporate culture.
A typical project at CNSLT Partners goes through several meticulously coordinated phases to ensure we fully comprehend our clients’ specific needs and can craft effective, tailored solutions. Here’s an overview of the process:
- Initial Consultation and Needs Analysis: In a non-binding, free-of-charge meeting, we discuss the client’s current situation, objectives, and challenges. Within this framework, initial expectations are clearly defined, and we collaboratively determine whether and how the desired goals can be achieved together.
- Proposal and Scoping: Based on the initial discussion, we draft a personalized proposal. It provides a detailed project plan, scope of services, suggested solutions, and a transparent cost breakdown
- Project Kick-off: Upon acceptance of the proposal, we commence with a kick-off meeting, introducing the project team and refining and finalizing objectives and timelines.
- Analysis and Conceptualization Phase: We deeply analyze the client’s current situation and, based on that, develop strategic concepts and solution proposals.
- Implementation Phase: Following the alignment of the concept with the client, we move to the implementation phase. Here, planned measures are put into practice, always closely coordinated with the client.
- Quality Assurance and Monitoring: During and post-implementation, we continuously check the quality of outcomes, adjusting the strategy if necessary. We keep our clients regularly updated on the project’s status and progress.
- Conclusion and Evaluation: At the project’s end, a final assessment takes place. The achieved results are meticulously compared to the original objectives and jointly evaluated with the client.
- Post-Project Support and Advancement: We remain available to our clients even after the project concludes, ensuring the sustainable implementation of the developed solutions and assisting with further optimization needs.
The pricing structure for CNSLT Partners’ services is customized to cater to the varied needs and demands of our customers. We always emphasize transparency and fairness, so below is an overview of our pricing structure:
- Pay-as-you-use Billing or Fixed-rate Hourly Packages: At CNSLT Partners, our clients have a choice: Hour-by-hour billing allows maximum flexibility and is the ideal solution for projects whose scope is not precisely predictable in advance. Fixed-rate hourly packages, on the other hand, provide cost certainty, predictability, and attractive discount opportunities – the perfect choice for clients who wish to adhere to a set budget and value financial predictability.
- Volume and Long-term Discounts: Our pricing model is straightforward and customer-friendly: The more extensive or long-term the project, the lower the daily rate. This allows our clients to significantly save on large-scale or long-term projects while simultaneously benefiting from our comprehensive expertise.
- Special Offers for Young Companies: To support start-ups and emerging businesses in their growth phase, we offer special terms. These include discounted rates and flexible payment models, enabling young companies to access professional consulting services without unduly straining their liquidity.
- Transparency and Integrity: At CNSLT Partners, transparency isn’t just an empty promise but a fundamental principle of our work. Our clients always receive a clear and detailed breakdown of the services provided.
