How do I work?
I am a service provider - not an employee. That must be conscious, who wants to work together with me. I say it consciously, because sometimes I am asked to staff appraisals :). And let's be honest: I only conduct them with my employees. That's why I work for you like a service provider: I accept an order, then the order is processed, you are always informed about it and at some point the order is finished again. When and where I perform this service is of secondary importance - after all, we live digitally!
What I provide?
First of all, a pool of 30 years of experience in IT. I have already experienced a lot, done a lot, broken a lot and repaired a lot more. Nobody can fool me that fast with an X for a U anymore. In addition, like a service provider, I provide the usual tools so that we, the client and contractor, can work together effectively. This includes: a private and secure chat server for fast communication within our project. Here we can discuss topics quickly and effectively and discuss solutions. Furthermore, we have the possibility to hold meetings on a larger scale in our web conferencing solution. Here we have the typical standards: screen sharing, chat during the web session, dial-in via computer or telephone with international phone numbers. Finally, there is a ticketing system where you can store tasks as a ticket and at the same time see the status of the processing. The service itself is done remotely by default, which does not mean that there are no on-site appointments.
On-site appointments?
On-site appointments are useful to get an overview of the location. For example with data center migrations or application introductions. These dates are agreed upon if necessary and then worked off quite stringently. No on-site appointments are arranged according to the motto "Let's see what we do then - have a cup of coffee first". Here we work in exactly the same way as with the remote service.
What topics do I cover?
I cover the following topics:
- Technical
Networks: IPv4, IPv6, routing, switching, VLAN, SDN, segmentation, planning, Wireshark
Server: Linux (Ubuntu, Debian), Apache, NGinx, MySQL, Server hardening, Monitoring
Clients: Linux (Ubuntu, elementaryOS), rollout, user trainings
Software: OpenSource, OpenSource consulting, trainings, introductions, integrations, Linux, Dolibarr-ERP, LibreOffice, Microsoft programs on Linux systems
Storage: Storage migrations, especially for small businesses the integration of storage in the enterprise environment
Data Center: Migration, Relocations, Consolidation
- Organizational
IT department: efficiency analysis and efficiency improvement, ITIL, process design, organization, consulting and coaching
IT projects: Project management, sub-project management, coaching
Digital Business: consulting, coaching, visionary workshops, processes, digitalization support, strategy consulting
Which topics do I not cover?
I do not cover the following topics:
- Website design and programming - even if I know systems like Drupal, Wordpress or Joomla or Typo3.
- Development of apps and application programs
- SAP
- Administration of systems
Maybe we haven't met yet?
It's always difficult when you don't know each other yet and then have to decide for a cooperation. Therefore I offer you the possibility to get to know each other free of charge. Here we can talk about me, my working methods, my views and about your project. At the end you have the opportunity to work out for yourself whether you want to work with me or not. Simply use the free appointment agreement with me on my website. I will gladly call you free of charge on the agreed date.
You don't feel like making a phone call? Well then just chat with me. Get in touch with me free of charge and chat with me about topics that are of burning interest to you. At the same time you experience the effectiveness of the private chat room provided by me.

Basically, I offer my services as remote services. That is because we are living in a digital age and using the possibilities the digital environment is offering us. For working on a remote base I am offering a very interesting charge. And: when using my service remotely, you will receive an hourly rate. A utilization of 100% is not necessary. Billing will be according to the time you have used.
On-site appointments are possible, but will be charged additional!
On-site appointments are useful to get an overview of the location. For example with data center migrations or application introductions. These dates are agreed upon if necessary and then worked off quite stringently. On-site appointments are only billed on a daily basis. Whether you need this time or not is irrelevant.
