It usually starts with an IT check: I record your systems, contracts and processes, assess risks and costs and deliver a prioritised plan. You can implement it yourself, with your current provider or with me.
What is included
- IT check: inventory of devices, servers, network, cloud services, contracts and security with a report
- System selection: server or cloud, Microsoft 365 or alternatives, NAS or file server, assessed vendor-neutrally
- IT security concept with action plan, emergency plan and backup strategy, also as a basis for insurers and audits
- Cost optimisation: licences, hosting, cloud costs, maintenance contracts, telephony
- Digitalisation of processes: document storage, collaboration, automation of recurring tasks
- Support during provider changes and projects, review of third-party quotes (second opinion)
- Formulating requirements for tenders and specifications
- Regular strategy meetings as needed
Typical assignments
- A company receives three quotes for a new server landscape and wants to know which one really fits.
- Before moving into new offices, the entire IT is planned: network, servers, telephony, workstations.
- A management team wants to know how secure the company is against ransomware and gets a concrete plan.
- Cloud costs get out of hand: analysis, rightsizing and moving stable workloads to dedicated servers.

Questions about this service
Are you tied to specific vendors?
No. I do not sell hardware or licences on commission and recommend what fits technically and economically. If needed I procure at market prices without markup.
What is in the IT check report?
An overview of your systems, a risk assessment, concrete measures by urgency with effort estimates and recommendations on the cost structure, in plain language for management.
Can you also implement the recommendations?
Yes, either myself or together with your current provider. The consulting is not tied to implementation by me.
