Frequently asked questions
When does technical consulting make sense?
When technical decisions are due: selecting and rolling out new systems, architecture reviews, integrating ERP, PIM, CRM, e-commerce and CMS, or when existing platforms have performance problems. I provide a basis for decisions that is clear to management and engineers alike.
How does a technical consulting engagement start?
With a no-obligation 30-minute video call to assess the situation, after which I propose the next steps. In the engagement I first capture the current state, clarify goals and priorities and identify technical and organisational challenges.
How do you work with internal teams and vendors?
I guide the implementation in close collaboration with internal and external teams and safeguard quality. If needed, I temporarily take on the role of solution architect or technical lead. The engagement ends with a structured handover and knowledge transfer, so your team can carry on independently.
What does technical consulting deliver, and is it remote or on-site?
You get an architecture review or concept document, an action plan with prioritisation and effort estimate, and technical documentation. I work from Jena, Germany, remotely or on-site across the DACH region, in German or English: remote starts faster with less onboarding, on-site is more direct but needs a little more lead time.
