Wie lange dauert eine IT-Strategieberatung?

Das hängt von der Größe und Komplexität des Unternehmens ab. In der Regel dauert eine umfassende IT-Strategie-Entwicklung 8 bis 12 Wochen, wobei die meiste Zeit in der Analyse und der gemeinsamen Entwicklung liegt. Wir arbeiten iterativ, damit erste Ergebnisse schnell sichtbar werden.

Setzt MPOWR IT die Strategie auch um oder berät nur?

Wir machen beides – und das ist der Unterschied zu anderen IT-Beratungen. Wir entwickeln nicht nur eine Strategie, sondern begleiten das Team aktiv bei der Migration. Das gibt Sicherheit, dass die Strategie praktisch umgesetzt wird und nicht in der Schublade bleibt. Reine Beratung ohne Umsetzungsbegleitung ist ebenfalls möglich.

Ist eine IT-Strategie auch für kleinere Teams sinnvoll?

Wenn ein Softwareprodukt entwickelt und skaliert wird, ist eine IT-Strategie immer notwendig – unabhängig von der Teamgröße. Die meisten Kunden von MPOWR IT sind Mittelständler mit 50 bis über 1.000 Mitarbeitern.

Wie unterscheidet sich MPOWR IT von anderen IT-Beratungen?

MPOWR IT verbindet technische Tiefe mit Business-Verständnis, gewachsen aus langjähriger Erfahrung als Entwickler und Tech Lead in Unternehmen von Scale-ups über Hyperscaler bis hin zu Konzernen. Die Beratung ist pragmatisch und hands-on: keine langwierigen Analysen, sondern konkrete Maßnahmen und aktive Umsetzungsbegleitung. MPOWR IT liefert Blueprints für Implementierung und Migration, damit das Team selbstständig die Strategie umsetzen kann.

Was kostet eine IT-Strategieberatung?

Die Kosten hängen von Scope und Umfang ab. Einfache Strategie-Entwicklungen starten ab ca. 10.000 €, können je nach Komplexität und gewünschtem Umsetzungssupport jedoch stark variieren. Eine individuelle Einschätzung gibt es im kostenlosen Erstgespräch.

MPOWR IT’s IT strategy

IT strategy consultancy for medium-sized businesses with their own development team

We empower your team to make the right technology decisions and scale sustainably with a first-class IT strategy.

Patrick Pächnatz ist ein Architekt für Infrastrukturlösungen und Sicherheitsexperte mit einem starken Hintergrund in der Softwareentwicklung.

Why do you need a sustainable IT strategy?

Without a sustainable IT strategy, you’ll lack flexibility in the future:
Which technologies are truly suited to your product? How do you scale your team effectively? Which processes will help you move forward?

Decisions made in the past are holding you back from achieving your goals and causing you to invest a lot of time and money in a complex day-to-day workflow. Your DevOps team is stuck.

A strong IT strategy gives you clarity and direction. You’ll know which technologies suit your growth, how your team should be structured, and which steps will really drive you forward. This enables you to make better decisions, develop faster and lay the foundations for sustainable scaling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our sustainable IT approaches.

How long does an IT strategy consultation take?

That depends on the size and complexity of the business. As a rule, developing a comprehensive IT strategy takes 8 to 12 weeks, with most of the time spent on analysis and collaborative development. We work iteratively so that you can see initial results quickly.

Does MPOWR IT actually implement the strategy, or does it merely provide consultancy?

We do both and that’s what sets us apart from other IT consultancies. We don’t just develop a strategy; we actively support your team throughout the migration process. This gives you the assurance that the strategy will be put into practice and won’t just end up gathering dust in a drawer. If you only need consultancy, that’s also an option.

Does an IT strategy make sense for smaller teams too?

When you’re developing and scaling a software product, an IT strategy is always essential, regardless of the size of your team. Most of our clients are medium-sized businesses with between 50 and 1,000+ employees.

How does MPOWR differ from other IT consultancies?

Our experience as developers and tech leads in companies of various sizes — from scale-ups and hyperscalers to large corporations — has shaped our technical expertise and business acumen. Our personalised consultancy is pragmatic and hands-on, meaning no lengthy analyses or concepts, but rather concrete measures and active support during implementation. We provide implementation and migration blueprints, so your team can execute the strategy independently.

How much does an IT strategy consultancy cost?

That depends on the scope and scale. Simple strategy development projects start from around €10,000, but can vary significantly depending on the complexity and the level of support required. You’ll get the best answer during the free initial consultation, where we’ll address your specific situation.
