What happens in the first call?

30 minutes. You explain your situation, I ask questions. No pitch, no pressure. If we're not a fit, I'll tell you.

What does a project cost?

Projects start from €10,000. For more complex projects, we begin with an analysis phase (from €2,500), which is credited toward the project. This gives you a binding price and me a clear picture. Consulting is billed on a daily basis (€1,800/day).

How long does a project take?

4-8 weeks typically. Complex platforms: 2-3 months. Realistic timeline upfront, delivered.

What if the project doesn't work out?

Fixed price means: the risk is on me. You pay for results, not my time. If something doesn't work, we fix it.

Can you maintain the software afterwards?

Yes. Many clients keep me for ongoing maintenance. Or I hand over everything documented to your team.

What if we're not a fit?

The first call is free. If I'm not the right person, I'll tell you and recommend someone who might be.

When do I need consulting vs. custom software?

Consulting: when you're evaluating vendors, planning a migration, or need a tech strategy. Custom software: when off-the-shelf doesn't fit. Often, one leads to the other.

Can you help choose the right software vendor?

Yes. I evaluate options against your requirements, cut through marketing, and help negotiate. No vendor commissions. My advice is independent.

The right decision before the contract

DMS consulting and setup with Docuware, DATEV & lucanet

4 weeks + implementationDay-rate engagement

The Starting Point

A mid-sized company was looking for a document management system. Two vendors in the running, but no one in-house who could technically evaluate whether the solutions would fit the existing infrastructure. The challenge: integration with DATEV and lucanet had to be guaranteed, and the system couldn't disrupt existing workflows.

Before

Documents scattered across network drives and email inboxes
No central access, no versioning
No internal technical expertise for vendor evaluation
DATEV and lucanet integration unclear

After

Docuware as central DMS with clear folder structure
Automatic document import from DATEV and lucanet
System live within 4 weeks instead of 2+ months wait time
Staff training and handover to internal operations

What I delivered

Infrastructure analysis

Evaluated existing systems, interfaces, and data flows. Foundation for an informed decision.

Vendor support

Joined both vendor meetings as technical advisor. Tested marketing promises against feasibility.

Process workshop

Mapped workflows together with vendor and department leads. Defined target processes.

Faster implementation

When the chosen vendor announced 2+ months wait time, I took over the setup myself.

Setup & configuration

Docuware setup, folder structures, permissions, and document types configured.

ERP integration

Automated data flow between Docuware, DATEV, and lucanet.
