IT consulting for clear technology decisions

Buy or build? Which system, which architecture, which service provider? We give you well-founded, implementation-oriented recommendations – from developers who build and run such systems themselves.

At Nano Concepts, IT consulting covers requirements analysis, make-or-buy assessment and software selection, architecture and code reviews, requirements specifications, feasibility studies and digitalization roadmaps – implementation-oriented, from a team that has been developing software for over 10 years and runs its own platforms. Consulting is delivered through the Starter package from €2,500, Professional from €8,000 or Enterprise (priced individually); the exact quote follows after a free initial consultation, preferably at a fixed price when the scope is clear. Whether you implement the recommendations afterwards with us, internally or with another partner is entirely up to you.

IT consulting for businesses, SMEs and mid-sized companies

Many software projects fail not because of the programming but because of the decisions made before it: a system that doesn't fit the processes, an architecture that doesn't grow with you, or a requirements specification that forgets key requirements. Our IT consulting starts exactly there. We help you understand your options, assess risks and make a decision that still holds up in five years.

01

Typical questions from our conversations: Is off-the-shelf software or custom development worth it? How do we replace our legacy system without endangering operations? Is the code a service provider delivered to us any good? Which processes should we digitize first? We answer these questions with workshops, analyses and clear written recommendations – not with endless slide decks.

02

Our advantage: we don't advise from theory. For over 10 years, we have been developing software for companies and running our own platforms. That is why we know what individual features cost to implement and where the typical pitfalls lie. You are free to decide whether you implement the recommendations with us, with your in-house team or with another partner.

03

As an IT consulting firm for SMEs and mid-sized companies, we help you put technology decisions on a solid footing. Typical triggers: a legacy system is to be replaced, a software selection is coming up, or a provider has delivered code whose quality nobody can assess. Our software consulting comes from practice, because we develop and run software and platforms ourselves. That's why we know what features cost to implement – and where projects typically get out of hand.

04

Many companies ask first about the cost of IT consulting. Instead of open-ended hourly billing, we agree on a clear scope – such as a code review, a weighted scoring analysis for software selection or a digitalization roadmap – and price it through our packages. Our technology consulting is open-ended in its outcome: we also recommend off-the-shelf software if it fits better. As an IT consulting firm from Dudenhofen near Speyer, we work for companies in the region and across Germany, remotely and on site when needed.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about IT consulting

A focused analysis with a written recommendation, such as a code review or a make-or-buy assessment, can start at €2,500 in the Starter package, depending on scope. Extensive concepts with workshops and a requirements specification are more likely to fall under the Professional package from €8,000; we quote long-term support individually as Enterprise. The initial consultation is free.

A code review or system assessment is often completed in a few weeks. A digitalization roadmap with several workshops takes more time, depending partly on the availability of your contacts. We agree the schedule with you at the start.

No. Our recommendations are documented so that you can implement them in-house or with any other service provider. Of course, we are also happy to take on the implementation ourselves.

No. We recommend what fits your requirements and budget – often that is a ready-made standard solution, supplemented by targeted customizations. Custom development is mainly worthwhile where it gives you a real advantage.

Yes. We examine structure, readability, tests, security and dependencies and assess how well the code can be developed further. You receive the result as an understandable report with concrete recommendations.

After the free initial consultation, we propose the scope and format of the consulting and prepare a transparent quote, preferably at a fixed price. Analysis, workshops and the written recommendation follow, which we go through together with you.

An IT consultant analyzes a company's workflows and systems, evaluates options and recommends which software, architecture or approach fits best. Depending on the engagement, this also includes requirements specifications, tenders, code reviews or support during implementation. With us, the people advising you are developers and project leads who implement such systems themselves.

First we collect the requirements and weight them together with the departments. Then we compare suitable solutions using a weighted scoring analysis or evaluation matrix, check interfaces, costs and vendors and test the favorites in demos. The result is a documented recommendation that you can defend internally with confidence.

A feasibility study checks before the project starts whether a software idea can be implemented technically, what risks exist and what effort to expect. This includes, for example, reviewing interfaces, data sources and technologies as well as an effort estimate. That way you decide on a solid basis whether and how to invest.

We prefer a clearly defined scope with a transparent quote, at a fixed price when the scope is clear – for example for a code review or a software selection. That way you know the cost in advance. For ongoing support over a longer period, we agree an individual model in the Enterprise package.

Yes – small businesses in particular can rarely afford wrong decisions on software or providers. A compact analysis with a clear recommendation is often enough, for example for choosing industry-specific software or digitalizing a single workflow. We adapt the scope to your size and budget.
