Consulting

The arc of our consulting covers traditional business consulting, including company organization with an emphasis on IT topics, while our focus is on specific IT consulting for both IT management and organizational issues, in particular involving technical and content-based tasks. 

In contrast to traditional specialist consultants, we bring many years of experience in practical management of IT organizations and the consequences of decisions taken to our work. We support our customers in the long term. Our work does not just finish when the concept has been drawn up, we take responsibility for the entire process and therefore also support our customers in implementing the concepts we introduce.
