The right advice at the right moment.
Not every IT challenge starts at the same point. Sometimes there is already a proposal you want assessed independently. Sometimes the direction of the solution still needs to be determined. And sometimes you want to look ahead at how your IT landscape should develop.
Second Opinion
An independent assessment when a recommendation, proposal or solution direction is already on the table.
When does this help?
A process is already under way. An IT provider may have made a proposal, there may be a design on the table, or you may have received a recommendation. Before moving forward, you want to know whether it fits your organisation and IT environment.
What will I do?
I assess the proposal from your perspective. I look at assumptions, technical choices, dependencies, risks, costs and how well it fits your existing IT landscape and future plans.
A clear independent assessment with the main considerations, risks and questions to discuss with the provider.
“Our IT provider recommends migrating our environment to Azure. Is this a sensible choice for us?”
IT Decision Advice
First determine the best solution direction. Only then approach providers or request quotations.
When does this help?
There is a concrete problem or challenge, but the solution has not yet been decided. You first want to understand the options and what they mean for your organisation before committing to a product, provider or technology.
What will I do?
Together we clarify the question and desired outcome. I investigate realistic solution directions and compare their technical, organisational and financial consequences, dependencies and risks. This leads to independent advice on the direction that fits best.
Concrete decision advice with scenarios, trade-offs and a recommendation. You know which direction you want to take and can then select a provider or request quotations much more effectively.
“Our ERP system no longer meets our needs. Should we improve it, replace parts of it, or move to an entirely new platform?”
IT Direction
Looking ahead to the IT landscape your organisation will need in the coming years.
When does this help?
There does not have to be an immediate problem. Your organisation has grown, IT has evolved over the years, or the business strategy is changing. You want to understand the current landscape and what development makes sense for the coming years.
What will I do?
I look at the current IT landscape, the organisation’s ambitions, bottlenecks, risks and relevant developments. Together we determine which changes add value, what can remain and in what order steps make sense.
A clear IT direction with priorities and a realistic roadmap. Not a theoretical end state, but guidance that helps align decisions and investments.
“We have grown considerably in recent years. Our IT landscape has grown with us, but where do we want to be in three years and what should we do now to get there?”
Together we determine how I can best support you.
In a no-obligation initial conversation, we discuss the challenge, its background and, above all, the decision or outcome you need. Based on that, we determine the right approach and you receive a proposal with a clear scope and fixed price.
