A Decade with Cinode – Empowering XLENT to Grow with Speed, Focus, and Precision

At XLENT, we’ve been working with Cinode for over ten years. What began as a need to organize our consultant profiles has evolved into a central, strategic platform – integrated into several of our most critical business processes.

In a fast-moving and highly competitive consulting market, we must make well-informed decisions quickly. We need to present the right solution, with the right expertise, at the right time – consistently and professionally. Cinode enables us to do just that.

A Common Business Language – Internally and Externally

Whether we’re responding to a major procurement or addressing a client need on short notice, we must package our expertise clearly and attractively. Cinode gives us a unified business language – in how we describe our consultants and how we build delivery teams across company borders.

We’ve seen time and again that our ability to swiftly present the right team directly impacts our position in the client’s decision-making process. Cinode often helps us be the first through the door – a critical competitive edge.

True Data-Driven Visibility

Cinode gives us a real-time view of our competencies, availability, and where reinforcements are needed. This leads to higher utilization and more accurate business planning. No more ad hoc searches, email threads, or Excel sheets – we can instantly see who is the right fit for the next step.

An Operational Hub for Collaboration

Cinode is more than a CV tool – it’s an internal business system. The platform connects sales, delivery, and competence development, making it easy to build teams, share insights, and allocate resources where they add the most value. For a group operating across multiple companies and cities, this is key to acting as One XLENT.

A Growth Enabler

XLENT has seen significant growth over the past decade – in both revenue and profit – and Cinode has been a key part of that journey. The platform is scalable, user-friendly, and flexible, enabling us to grow while maintaining structure and transparency.

Is Cinode the sole driver of our growth? Of course not. A strong culture, diversity, local leadership, and a clear purpose are all vital. But without the right tools, these elements risk falling short of their full potential – and here, Cinode has played a clear and measurable role in enabling our business.
