In the world of IT services, where local expertise is increasingly faced with the need for global scale, Wrocław-based SI-Consulting is making its most important strategic move in years. The company has just announced a rebranding and will operate as akquinet consulting from 27 January 2026. This is the culmination of a three-year process of assimilation into the structures of the German AKQUINET Group and sheds new light on the consolidation of the technology consulting market in the CEE region.
The decision to abandon the SI-Consulting brand, recognisable on the Polish market, in favour of a unified international identity is not just an aesthetic change. In an industry dominated by the struggle for talent and access to niche competencies such as advanced SAP implementations or business process optimisation, the move reflects a drive for full operational synergy. The AKQUINET Group, which currently employs around 900 professionals in more than 20 locations on three continents, is positioning itself as a player capable of handling contracts of a scale that may have hitherto been beyond the reach of local players.
Paweł Rytelewski, board member of akquinet consulting, describes the rebranding as a natural stage in the maturation of the organisation. From a business perspective, a key element of this transformation is the promise of a seamless flow of knowledge between branches in Europe, the US and Brazil. For the Wroclaw-based company’s existing clients, this means direct access to a global portfolio of services while maintaining a local management team and existing service standards.
In turn, Dr Volker Gerd Fischer, CEO of akquinet GmbH, emphasises the strategic importance of the Polish market. Since the acquisition in 2023, SI-Consulting has been regarded as a key bridgehead for expansion in Central and Eastern Europe. Full integration under a common logo with a sail motif is expected to symbolise new dynamics and facilitate cross-border IT projects.
In a macroeconomic context, the akquinet consulting movement is part of a broader trend in which strong, specialised national players are choosing to integrate deeply into foreign capital structures. In the world of modern IT, where innovation requires increasing investment, being part of an international ecosystem is becoming a prerequisite for maintaining a competitive edge. The Wrocław team, under a new banner, faces the opportunity to turn local confidence into global results.
