EBCONT has once again been recognized as one of Austria's leading consultants this year, securing its place among the Top Companies of 2025.

In 2025, the Institute for Management and Economic Research (IMWF Austria) conducted its third survey on the public reputation of Austrian consultants, in cooperation with the media partner KURIER. A new method included a self-survey of the consultants to obtain a more comprehensive picture of the industry. A total of around 3,000 companies from various consulting sectors were analyzed, with 32 million data points from online reviews, social media followers, and more being evaluated. The best companies in each category were awarded the &quot;Top Consultant 2025&quot; title.

Thus, the IT company has been one of Austria&#39;s top consultants in the IT sector for three consecutive years since the inception of the award, an impressive achievement.

Johannes Litschauer, CEO of EBCONT: &quot;We are very pleased with the recognition, and it motivates us even more to give our best every day.&quot;
