IT Strategy Consultancy

Get to the bottom of the ‘why’ before you fall at the ‘how’

Many IT decisions are made under pressure, without a strategic framework, and with consequences that only become apparent months later. We analyse your current situation, develop a realistic roadmap, and actively support your team throughout the implementation process.

- IT-Assessment & Stakeholder-Interviews
- Technology Assessment & Roadmap (6–12 months)
- Security & Compliance by Design
- Technical Leadership & Knowledge Transfer

Often booked by: Scale-ups in a growth phase · SMEs with legacy IT systems · Teams without a CTO

System & Software Architecture

Architecture that will still stand in five years’ time. 

Systems evolve faster than the decisions behind them. We assess, design, and modernise architectures in a pragmatic way, without ‘big bang’ migrations and with transparent decisions that your team can continue to implement independently even after our involvement ends.

IT & Cloud Security

Security that is built into the system, rather than tacked on.

We integrate security into architecture, development and operations. From threat modelling to cloud hardening, NIS2 and ISO 27001.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our sustainable IT approaches.

Do you also offer consultancy services without implementation?

That depends on your needs. Our approach always combines analysis, strategy, and implementation, because experience has shown that strategies without implementation support tend to gather dust. If you only need an evaluation or an assessment, we’ll discuss this openly during the initial consultation.

What sizes of companies do you work with?

Primarily aimed at companies in the DACH region with 50 or more employees and their own IT team. Our clients are medium-sized businesses, scale-ups, and large corporations that are developing or operating digital products. Start-ups without their own development team are not our target audience.

How long does a typical engagement last?

Most engagements last at least nine months, as structural improvements take time. Technical due diligence is the exception: it takes two to four weeks and is charged at a fixed price.

How much does it cost to work with us?

A technical due diligence starts at a fixed price of 12,000 €. IT strategy and architecture projects start at around 10,000 €, but vary considerably depending on the scope. You’ll receive a detailed estimate during the free initial consultation.

Do you work remotely or on-site?

Both. Most projects are run on a remote-first basis, with in-person meetings for kick-offs, workshops and reviews as required.
