What is IT & agency consulting?

This is exactly where we come in: we help you find the right IT partner, critically evaluate existing collaborations or set up your own digital unit. Our goal is to work with you to develop a sustainable and future-proof solution that actively drives your digital transformation.

This not only enables you to make informed decisions, but also secures you a decisive competitive advantage in the long term – for the success of your company in an increasingly digital world.

Steps involved in replacing an existing IT service provider or agency

Sometimes, working with an existing IT service provider or agency no longer works optimally. Poor performance, a lack of innovation or simply a change in requirements can be reasons to end a partnership and look for a new service provider. The replacement process is often complex, as it involves ensuring a seamless transition and minimising potential risks.

1

Analysis of the current situation

The first step is a thorough analysis of the existing partnership. Where are the weak points? Which expectations have not been met? IT & Agency Consulting helps you to clearly identify the problems and make an informed decision about ending the partnership.

2

Risk analysis and transition planning

Parting ways with an IT service provider or agency can involve risks, especially when it comes to migrating data, systems or projects. A structured transition plan can help to ensure a smooth changeover and avoid downtime or data loss.

3

contract management

The legal aspects of terminating a contract with an IT service provider or agency should also be handled with care. IT & Agency Consulting supports you in reviewing existing contracts to ensure that all legal aspects are taken into account and that the separation is fair.

Are you looking for a new IT service provider or agency?

Choosing a new IT service provider or agency is a critical decision that can greatly influence the future success of your business. Whether it's developing a new website, managing your IT infrastructure or running digital marketing campaigns, the right partner must be a perfect fit for your goals and requirements. Steps for choosing a new IT service provider or agency:

1

Requirements definition

The first step is to define exactly what you expect from your new IT service provider or agency. Which technologies and services are crucial? How large should the team be? IT & Agency Consulting supports you in creating a clear list of requirements that serves as the basis for your search.

2

Market analysis and partner selection

With a comprehensive understanding of the market and access to a broad network, IT & Agency Consulting helps you identify suitable candidates. This ensures that the service provider not only has the necessary technical skills, but also fits in with your company culturally and strategically.

Application process and selection procedure

IT & Agency Consulting organises the entire selection process – from the tender to contract negotiations. Targeted due diligence is carried out to assess the performance of potential partners to ensure that they meet the requirements and can work successfully with your company in the long term.

Onboarding and partnership management

Once the right partner has been selected, structured onboarding is crucial. IT & Agency Consulting ensures that the collaboration works well from the outset and that the new partners are seamlessly integrated into ongoing projects and processes.

Want to realign or scale your digital agency?

The digital landscape is constantly evolving, and digital agencies must adapt to remain competitive. You may want to offer new services, expand your target groups, or make your internal processes more efficient. IT & Agency Consulting supports you in strategically realigning or scaling your agency. Steps for realigning or scaling your digital agency:

Development of a growth strategy

Based on the results of the analysis, a clear growth strategy is developed. Do you want to tap into new markets? Offer additional services in the areas of UX, web development or data analytics?

Successful scaling often requires optimising internal processes and deploying new technologies. IT & Agency Consulting helps you automate workflows, integrate project-related tools and increase your team's efficiency without compromising quality.

Steps for setting up a new digital agency

Market analysis and positioning

Before you start setting up your agency, it is essential to conduct a thorough analysis of the market. What services are in demand? Which target groups do you want to address? IT & Agency Consulting helps you develop a clear positioning strategy that gives you a competitive advantage.

Business model and services

A successful agency needs a strong business model and clearly defined services. Together with the consultant, you will develop a business model based on current market needs and decide whether to focus on niche markets or a broader range of services.

Team building and recruitment

Building a competent team is a key part of launching an agency. IT & Agency Consulting helps you recruit the right employees – from developers and designers to project managers and marketing experts.

Structure and processes

To work efficiently, you need clear processes and structures right from the start. Consulting helps you define internal processes, from customer acquisition to project management, and select the right tools for project management and communication.

Market entry and branding

Market entry is a crucial moment for any agency. IT & Agency Consulting helps you develop a strong go-to-market strategy that strengthens your branding and positions you successfully in the market.

Everything you need to know when we work together

What does a typical collaboration with me look like?

In an initial meeting, we clarify goals, challenges, and framework conditions. Based on this, I develop a customized setup - e.g., as an external product owner, UX consultant, technical project manager, or strategic sparring partner for digital product teams. I quickly integrate into existing structures and work closely with internal stakeholders, developers, and management.

Do I work as part of existing teams or as an external unit?

Both are possible. I either work embedded in internal product teams (remotely or hybrid) or independently with my network of developers and designers. My goal is always efficiency, transparency, and smooth integration into existing processes.

For which company sizes is your support useful?
I work with startups, scale-ups, and established companies - often in the context of digital departments, in-house agencies, or innovation teams. Larger organizations with complex, often siloed structures also benefit from my holistic view of product, user experience, and technology.
How soon can I start?
Usually at short notice – depending on the scope and workload. I am used to quickly familiarizing myself with existing projects or structures and taking on responsibility – even in critical phases such as relaunches, transformation processes, or project rescues.
How does IT & Agency Consulting help to save costs?

A clear analysis of existing IT and agency processes reveals inefficiencies. Companies often use multiple tools with similar functions or work with workarounds that cost time and money. Consulting examines which systems are actually needed, how they can be integrated sensibly, and where automation can unlock potential.

The result: fewer unnecessary licence costs, fewer manual steps and a significant increase in productivity in day-to-day business.

Does my team need to be tech-savvy to benefit from the consultation?

No, that is not necessary. IT & Agency Consulting is deliberately structured in such a way that even non-technicians can immediately understand how recommended systems and processes work. The consultation includes training, clear instructions and, if desired, complete implementation.

This ensures that all employees can quickly work with the new structures, regardless of their prior technical knowledge.

How quickly can you see results from IT & Agency Consulting?

The first improvements are usually noticeable after a short time. Often, it is enough to reconfigure existing tools or make minor process adjustments to immediately work more efficiently.

Larger changes – such as the introduction of new systems or a comprehensive process changeover – take a little more time, but also show measurable success early on, for example through reduced coordination efforts, better overview of projects or lower licence costs.

Important: The consulting is practical and designed for quick implementation, so your company does not have to wait months for improvements to become noticeable.

Ready for the next step?

Whether it's a project enquiry, collaboration or simply a good conversation about digital innovations – I'm just a message away. Write to me, I look forward to hearing from you!
