IT services in Hamburg · consulting, delivery, support IT that just works. And someone who knows why.

As an IT service provider in Hamburg, I plan, modernise and support the IT of small and medium-sized companies, from Microsoft 365 and IT security to network, servers, telephony and automation. On site and remotely.

Situations

Does any of this sound familiar?

Overgrown IT

What I often hear

„Our IT has grown over the years and nobody has the full picture any more.“

How I approach it

First an inventory and documentation, then a clean-up in a fixed order: access, devices, file storage.

Bring structure to existing IT→

Microsoft 365 unplanned

What I often hear

„We use Microsoft 365, but nobody ever planned permissions, devices and file storage as a whole.“

How I approach it

Permissions, devices and file storage get one shared plan instead of decisions that piled up over the years.

Set up Microsoft 365 properly→

Security never tested

What I often hear

„We want to know whether we are prepared for a cyber attack, and what we are still missing.“

How I approach it

A security check shows where you stand. What comes out is a prioritised list, not an 80-page report.

Put IT security to the test→

Unstable network

What I often hear

„Our Wi-Fi and network work somehow, but not reliably.“

How I approach it

Measuring instead of guessing: a WLAN survey, proper segmentation and hardware that matches the actual load.

Modernise the network→

Switch & move

What I often hear

„We are changing IT provider or moving offices and want no gap in operations.“

How I approach it

Handover planned, access and data transferred in full, the old contract closed properly. Without a day of downtime.

Changing provider and moving→

In-house IT stretched

What I often hear

„We have our own IT team but need extra expertise on specific topics.“

How I approach it

I step in where your team is short on time or specialist knowledge, and hand back afterwards.

Support your internal IT→

Unclear contracts

What I often hear

„„Our mobile and landline contracts have grown over the years. Nobody has a full view of the terms, the costs and the tariffs any more.““

How I approach it

Every contract in one overview: terms, costs, tariffs. Then cancel, bundle or renegotiate.

Manage and optimise contracts→

Manual routines

What I often hear

„„A lot still runs manually. We want to automate, and to use AI where it genuinely takes work off our hands.““

How I approach it

I look for the routines that actually pay off and start there. AI only where it takes work away.

Services

Seven areas. One person to talk to.

How I work

This is how every project runs.

  1. 01

    Understand

    Look at the existing environment and the requirements before changing anything.

  2. 02

    Plan

    Agree priorities, effort and sequence. Not every piece of infrastructure needs replacing.

  3. 03

    Build

    Carrying out the changes myself, ideally without interrupting day-to-day operation, and documented so it can be followed.

  4. 04

    Support

    Staying on afterwards, if you want it, and developing the environment further.

Client feedback

What clients say.

Thank you for the excellent collaboration, we look forward to more projects together.
Stephen Ziegert
CEO · entrion IT GmbH
Thanks to the new internal wiki Mr Korbjuhn built for us, colleagues now usually find the answer to questions about standard processes themselves, which noticeably takes the load off the IT department.
Diana Gast
Senior Account Manager · weCan live-marketing GmbH
It is hard to believe how much time you save once rudimentary Excel skills are developed a bit further. There is plenty to learn, of course, but it is fun and it really pays off.
Thorsten Hamann
Director Operations Travel Retail · weCan live-marketing GmbH
The training was great! You simply learn far more effectively when it is explained to you personally and that clearly. I am happy to recommend Mr Korbjuhn.

About me

I do not just advise. I build it.

I am Franz Korbjuhn, a self-employed IT consultant and IT service provider based in Hamburg. I work with small and mid-sized companies and with in-house IT teams — from the technical decision through delivery to day-to-day operation.

I do not only advise, I implement the solutions I propose myself. That is why you get a realistic recommendation and not automatically the product with the highest margin.

  • Understand first, change second.
  • No more complicated than it needs to be.
  • Technology is a means, not an end.
  • Knowledge stays with you.

Frequent questions

What companies want to know first.

Your question isn't here? Write to me directly.

Both: on site in Hamburg and remotely. One non-profit with a distributed team, for example, I support entirely remotely.

Small and medium-sized companies, from a small law firm to businesses with more than 150 staff: agencies, law firms, medical practices, planning offices, trades businesses and non-profits. Typically they have 10 to 50 workstations.

Nothing. The first conversation is free and without obligation. Afterwards you get an honest assessment of what is worth doing and what is not.

Usually by the hour or as a monthly flat fee, depending on what we agree. A block of hours is the exception. The record of work done is always there to check.

Yes. I help where your team lacks time or specialist knowledge, and hand back afterwards. Documentation and access stay with you.
