IT consulting: understand first, then recommend.
Planning an IT project or reviewing IT outsourcing? I help with strategy, selection and implementation, independently and without sales pressure.
Technology is a means to an end
Many IT decisions are made from gut feeling or because a vendor was particularly convincing. The result is often expensive solutions that miss the actual need.
As an independent consultant, I have no interest in selling you something. My goal is for you to make the right decision, even if that means spending less or postponing a project.
How I can help
From IT strategy to implementation support
IT Strategy
Where is your IT today, where should it go? Together we develop a roadmap that fits your budget and goals.
Digitalization
Which processes can be meaningfully digitalized? I identify quick wins and help with prioritization.
Project Support
You have an IT project with external providers? I represent your interests, review quotes and interim results, and flag deviations in quality or schedule early.
Training
Transfer knowledge instead of creating dependency. I train your employees so they can work independently.
