About us

bankon is a top management consultancy with comprehensive IT and banking expertise for banks and their service providers.

Since its foundation in 2004, one of the company’s core competences has been the successful implementation of complex (IT) projects (more than 50 core bank/WP migration projects). Many years of experience in all common system solutions and a well-established team of consultants with migration experience are decisive success factors.

 

The managing partner is Mr Michael Rother. He is a passionate practitioner who always supports customer projects 5 days a week. bankon is 100% independent of manufacturers or other third parties.

bankon stands for the pragmatic management of highly complex projects that encompass strategic, procedural, banking, economic, personnel or regulatory aspects and often entail massive changes in the structures and processes of the specialist departments and IT (including architecture, system support). bankon plays a prominent role in most projects as a “transformation partner” with planning and management expertise and migration-tested, customised project management solutions.

Without exception, our clients are leading financial service providers and IT service providers who place the highest demands on consultants. We value intensive and lasting partnerships. This is also the basis for bankon’s qualitative growth. The fact that over 80% of our projects are follow-up projects confirms our approach, which is geared towards long-term customer relationships.

“The mix of corporate culture and working on exciting topics makes bankon unique for me. From day one, I was able to take on direct responsibility and get actively involved, which naturally involves a steep learning curve.”

Kai Baumann
Manager

“A transformation begins with the optimization of cost structures, whereby the major levers should be digitalization initiatives. We need a strong financial system for the challenges ahead (climate change and digital transformation). Furthermore, a uniform capital market across Europe with a position of power ahead of the competition from China and the USA is necessary in order to provide the best possible support for the real economy in the transformation processes.”

Matthias Höltermann
Manager

“bankon offers me a supportive environment that focuses exclusively on enabling my colleagues and me to successfully manage challenging project situations at the interface between business and information technology and to create added value for the customer every day.”

Senior Manager

“The distinct opportunity to contribute my many years of expert knowledge to consulting mandates motivated me to switch to bankon. I am always enthusiastic about successfully implementing innovative and complex projects with our clear team approach.”

Michael Jesch
Senior Manager

“Nowadays, consultants are no longer measured by the number of innovative proposals, but rather by the successful and sustainable implementation of project goals. Our teams face this challenge anew every day and the trust our clients place in us repeatedly confirms the expertise and quality of our work.”

Paul Patrick Buenger
Manager

“We help our clients to align their company for long-term success by integrating business, risk and data management and IT. A collaborative partnership, both within the team and with our clients, and our focus on excellence in implementation are what set bankon apart.”

Wolfgang Weber
Senior Manager

“To face the ever-changing requirements with enthusiasm and enthusiasm, to implement projects in a hands-on manner and to develop pragmatic ideas and solutions for the customer is a very personal concern for me at bankon.”
