I don't sell software. I get your company to the point where it can digitalise itself. No sales targets, no exclusive distribution agreements, no supplier I’m tied to. I’m on your side — that’s rarer than you might think.
Seven sentences I hear in every SME that calls me.
Not a single one of these problems stems from a lack of software. They stem from a lack of processes.
Thesis 01
I hear that a lot. And every time, I say the same thing.
A project has a beginning. An end. A budget.
Digitalisation has none of these.
Anyone who treats it as a project is buying a state of affairs. What they need is a skill.
Digitalization is a mindset. Don't just endure it. Drive it.
Thesis 02
Where your systems end, copy-paste begins. In between, someone sits and types out what both sides have long known.
That person isn’t shown on any system diagram. They don’t appear on any licence invoice. And when they leave, the process goes with them.
It's not a lack of software. It's a lack of connection.
Thesis 03
The same software means the same processes. The same processes mean the same performance.
And anyone who no longer stands out through what they do can only distinguish themselves through what they demand.
Sovereignty is not an IT issue. It determines whether you still have something to offer that others don't.
Not ecology. Not marketing. Four decision-making rules.
What remains when I leave: knowledge, processes, structures, methods. You’ll be given the tools to understand your solution, help shape it and develop it further.
Technology is a tool, not a dictate. Those who understand their data, their know-how and their exchange cycles make decisions based on competence rather than dependence.
Every initiative must have an impact — on people, processes and the business. If I see that it cannot, I walk away. Even if it means losing a project.
If I recommend a product to you, it’s because it’s the right fit. No sales targets, no exclusive distribution, no portfolio of my own. If a referral is remunerated, you’ll know that in advance — even if the honest answer is: ‘You don’t need me for that.’
Independent IT consulting means: no products in the bag. I build capabilities in your company — not dependencies. In the end you need me less, not more.
Together, we’ll develop a strategy and break it down into sub-projects. For each sub-project, you’ll know three things:
You decide when to implement each part.
The approach is tailored to your business and your resources — not to my portfolio. I don’t have one. And in the end, your team won’t have been overwhelmed. They’ll have grown alongside the project.
I sit at the table where decisions are made — and act as a bridge between IT and the business. Prioritisation, roadmap, governance.

A conversation in which I listen and ask questions. If I see that you don’t need me, I’ll tell you so.
Even as an apprentice, I took on the workload of an 80 per cent employee — in 60 per cent of the time.
I attended vocational college two days a week. No trick: I simply optimised a single cumbersome approval process. That was enough. Later, I took on graphic design, two websites and the entire IT setup. Not because anyone had asked me to.
Understand first. Then simplify. I didn’t learn this — I’ve never worked any other way.
From real life
A Swiss SME with 20 sites wanted to digitise its accounting. It was already ‘digital’: PDFs were being sent back and forth.
I didn't digitalise a single one. First understand. Then simplify. Then automate.
Nobody had ever needed the other thirteen. They had simply never caught anyone's eye.
From real life
Two companies, similar budgets. With the first, we spent three months analysing processes before anyone configured the system. It’s still working today.
With the second one, they wanted to move quickly. The system was up and running after six months. Meanwhile, people carried on working in Excel.
No tool in the world replaces a process that doesn't exist.
From real life
Every year, the same thick folder, just before the end. Nights spent working by hand to ensure every team gets their sign.
When I redesigned the website, I built a backend for it. One tick per team. One click generates all the signs.
The solution wasn’t complicated. It’s just that nobody had asked beforehand what was actually going on.
From real life
Outsourced for years. When the company wanted to bring it back in-house, nobody knew what was needed to do so. The know-how had completely disappeared.
Taking stock. A realistic assessment. Built up step by step.
Re-insourcing isn’t a step backwards. It’s a decision in favour of autonomy.
