IT projects & IT consulting · Hamburg Migrations, modernisation and changes of provider.
IT consulting including delivery: I plan IT projects for companies in Hamburg and deliver them myself, from the initial inventory through to handover. Together with your in-house IT if you want, so knowledge and documentation stay with you.
When an IT project is due
A move to Microsoft 365, servers at the end of their life, a change of provider, or an in-house IT team that needs reinforcement for a project. In IT projects the technology is often only part of the task. Planning, responsibilities and communication with the people who have to work with the result matter just as much.
What makes a good project
A project with a clear goal, a plan that holds and clean delivery. You know beforehand what will happen, what it costs and what changes. Afterwards there is documentation, a proper introduction and a handover instead of a black box.
The projects I take on.
-
IT analysis and strategy
Inventory, assessment of risks and opportunities, an IT roadmap with priorities and a budget range.
-
Design and target architecture
Choosing the technology that suits the requirement and the existing environment, commercial or open source, cloud or on-premises, with a reasoned justification, a sequence and the effort involved.
-
Migrations
Microsoft 365, servers, virtualisation and telephony, planned, tested and delivered during normal operation.
-
Modernisation
Replacing outdated systems, rebuilding network and server environments, consolidating structures that have grown over time.
-
Changing provider
A structured handover with credentials, documentation and open items, without a gap in operations.
-
Project management and coordination
Coordination with vendors, providers, electricians and your team, scheduling and communication to your staff.
-
Telephony and connectivity
Cloud telephony with 3CX, Teams Phone or peoplefone, number porting, fibre and mobile through Telekom, Vodafone or Telefónica.
-
Support for in-house IT
Project support, a second opinion or specialist knowledge, as an equal to your team.
How I run projects
Before you commission anything, you receive a written assessment including effort. I take on project management, including coordination with electricians, providers and other IT service providers. That applies to office moves as much as to new companies I have equipped from day one.
Where a topic needs specialist knowledge, I bring specialists into the project and remain your point of contact. How a server move in one day works is described in a separate article.
Specialist software and locations
In medical practices, law and tax firms and planning offices I work with specialist software such as Tomedo, DATEV, RA-MICRO, BricsCAD and AutoCAD, and coordinate directly with the vendors.
Most projects are in Hamburg. I also work on site elsewhere when capacity and budget allow.

Questions about IT projects.
Your question isn't here? Write to me directly.
I work with companies from a handful of people up to over 150. Larger projects are split into stages and delivered together with your in-house IT.
Yes. Some clients use me for projects and specialist topics while day-to-day support runs elsewhere. What matters is clear responsibilities. If you later want to hand over day-to-day operations as well, that is what ongoing IT support is for.
Yes, where it fits. Tools such as Proxmox, Tactical RMM or n8n are often the more economical choice for smaller companies. Where vendor support or certification matters most, I recommend commercial products.

Send me a couple of lines about it, or just call. You reach me directly, no call centre.
