Selling IT consulting and systems integration data for AI training: what it's worth and who buys it

6,733 US computer systems design firms had 10+ employees in 2022, and 2,871 had 30+.1

Implementation consultants running a requirements workshop in a client meeting room

A systems integrator's projects follow a shape every consultant knows. Discovery workshops become a requirements document, the solution architect writes a design, a statement of work fixes scope and price, configuration and data migration run in sprints, change requests arrive when the client remembers what they forgot, testing finds the gaps, and cutover weekend decides whether anyone sleeps. Salesforce, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics, ServiceNow and ERP implementations all follow it.

Those project files are consulting reasoning applied to software, and they look different from an MSP's tickets: fewer, longer documents with decisions and trade-offs argued in prose. Mercor lists client decks, SOWs and project files for professional services, and project management specialists and computer and information systems managers are GDPval occupations. micro1 names technology companies and consulting businesses.

This page is for IT consultancies, ERP and CRM implementation partners and systems integrators with ten or more staff. It sets out a week of project records, which buyers fit, why client configurations and data are kept out, and what to raise with a buyer before licensing your delivery method.

Who wants this

Do buyers want IT consulting firms and systems integrators?

No buyer publishes prices by industry, but their own intake forms show which industries they rate higher.

  • Troveo puts it services or msp in its third of four demand tiers: "Standard buyer demand for your industry."21
  • Polyshares takes it services and managed services, without marking it premium.22
  • VMS, a broker, gives it services or msp standard weight when it estimates value.23

  • Tuesday: a design document reviewed by the architect, with three comments that change the data model.
  • Wednesday: a change request priced and sent after the client adds a second subsidiary.
  • Thursday: a UAT defect log triaged into config fixes, training gaps and true bugs.
  • Friday: a cutover plan finalised, with go and no-go criteria for the weekend.

Selling or closing

Selling or closing your integrator? License its data first

When an IT consultancy is acquired, the buyer usually wants certified consultants and the partner relationships with software vendors. The firm's methodology, templates and closed project documentation are a different set of records. Before a deal, ask each licensing company whether the methodology can be licensed on its own, and how client deliverables in the same folders would be kept out.2,3

FAQ

IT consulting and systems integrators: questions, answered

  • Fewer, longer records. An integrator writes requirements, designs, SOWs and change requests, which matches Mercor's professional services list of client decks, SOWs and project files. An MSP writes many short tickets.3

  • Usually. Templates and operational frameworks are on micro1's list, and a methodology with its templates, checklists and accelerators carries no client data once examples are removed.2

  • Most of them, since buyers mostly want 20 to 30 or more employees and a few state no minimum. In 2022, 2,871 US computer systems design firms had 30+ employees.4,34,41,42,43,33,1

  • OpenAI's GDPval includes project management specialists and computer and information systems managers, the roles that run implementations. That is a sign of where labs measure AI against real work.5,44

  • No buyer publishes a price for IT consultancies. Published ranges mostly run $100K to $2M, as the buyers' own claims. Most buyers charge nothing, and brokers and marketplaces can take 8-30%.7,45,46,47,14,48,49,50,51

  • It is worth asking. Training and certification material was written by the software vendor rather than your team, and Nyne says exporting a record does not by itself grant permission to license it.52

  • Every business is different, so this one is best talked through with the buyer you're working with. Their team goes over it with you before anything is signed.

  • Which AI labs will receive it, and will you tell us?
  • How long do you keep it, and how is it deleted?
  • What is your liability cap, and who indemnifies whom?
  • Will the contract ban re-identification of people in the data?
  • Who removes personal data, by what method, and do we approve it first?
