Consulting

Technical clarity before it gets expensive.

We review ideas, systems and processes before development starts or old software keeps consuming budget.

What this is about

Good consulting does not end in slides, but in next steps you can decide on.

The most expensive software projects are not those that start early, but those that start without clarity.

We come from implementation, so our recommendations are realistic, measurable in weeks and tied to decisions instead of vague wishes.

Typical triggers: tool costs are growing, custom software is underused, an AI pilot is stuck or a process needs to become digital but nobody knows where to start.

01

System audit & roadmap

We analyze existing software, data flows, security risks, tool costs and modernization potential.

The result is a map of your IT and a prioritized path forward.

  • Architecture and code review where source code exists
  • Tool and subscription audit
  • Risks such as vendor lock-in, privacy gaps and single points of failure
  • Modernization paths: refactor, replace, retire, retain
  • Roadmap with effort, value and sequence

02

AI and automation potential

We identify processes where AI, interfaces or custom software really save time and where hype would waste money.

Use cases are evaluated by value, risk, data quality and maturity.

  • Use-case mapping from real processes
  • Assessment by value, feasibility and risk
  • Privacy, hosting and compliance clarified early
  • Pilot proposal with measurable goal and ROI model
  • Clear no-go list to avoid wrong pilots

03

Product and process consulting

From idea to reliable scope: features, users, effort, operation and risk before a single line of code is commissioned.

A clear scope avoids follow-up costs, poor tenders and software that misses operational reality.

  • Workshops with departments, management and IT
  • User journeys, stories and MVP scope
  • Technical feasibility analysis
  • Budget and timeline ranges
  • Tender-ready requirements on request

Vendor and tender support

If you buy software or tender a larger project, we help ask the right questions and compare offers fairly.

We represent your side, not the vendor’s.

  • Functional and non-functional requirements
  • Vendor longlist and shortlist by clear criteria
  • Structured demo and reference evaluation
  • Contract review: SLA, data ownership, exit clauses and pricing
  • Total cost of ownership instead of list price

Frequently asked questions

Concrete questions.
Concrete answers.

What do I receive after consulting?
A prioritized roadmap with value, risks, effort and next steps, usually as a concise document plus a handover meeting.
Do you review existing software subscriptions?
Yes. We look at cost, overlaps, missing interfaces and manual work around tools.
Can consulting become a project?
If it fits, yes. If not, the result still works for internal planning, a tender or another provider.
How deep do you go?
From a one-day workshop to multi-week audits with code review and stakeholder interviews.
Which industries do you know?
We are industry-open — from manufacturing to insurance.
How do you charge?
Depending on scope, we use a project model or hourly work for longer engagements.
Are your recommendations neutral?
We do not earn vendor commissions and disclose conflicts of interest. Sometimes the best recommendation is a solution we do not implement ourselves.
