IT costs reduced by over 80%. Without losing a single feature.
Why many mid-sized companies pay too much for their IT — and how we change that.
- Over 80%
- Cost saving in IT budget
- Under 12 months
- From first audit to new setup
- Zero
- Feature losses — everything still works
A pattern we see again and again.
Growing digital companies with six-figure monthly IT costs. Platforms that have grown over years — not planned, but cobbled together. Multiple agencies, a web of freelancers, complicated contracts and dependencies.
Every change takes weeks. Every extension costs five figures. And nobody in the business has the technical overview to judge whether all of this is really necessary.
This is not an isolated case. It is a pattern — particularly in companies that relied on custom software development early on and are now stuck in a dependency spiral.
The typical problems
Bloated IT costs
Six-figure monthly budgets that are not economically viable — but nobody questions them because the technical understanding is missing internally.
Custom development as a cost driver
Individually developed platforms that cost more to maintain than any standard software — without a genuine advantage over the market.
Service provider chaos
Multiple agencies, unclear responsibilities, bloated contracts. Everyone points at everyone else, nobody takes responsibility.
Unnecessary infrastructure costs
Self-hosted systems, grown tool landscapes, unoptimised cloud costs.
Missing technical decision-making capability
Management cannot assess whether recommendations from service providers make sense or are self-serving.
No future-proofing
Every change requires specialist knowledge from individual people. If one person leaves, everything stops.
Standard software instead of custom development.
The core of our method: we replace expensive custom developments with proven standard software. No rebuild, no refactoring — a clean cut. For the few places where standard solutions are insufficient, we deploy AI strategically. Not as a buzzword, but as a pragmatic tool for special requirements.
Instead of a web of agencies and freelancers: one point of contact, clear responsibilities, transparent costs. That alone often saves a significant portion of the budget — not just financially, but also in management overhead.
Payment processing, billing, email sending, customer service — for most processes there are standard tools that are better and cheaper than any custom development. We deploy AI where standard software reaches its limits. Humans orchestrate, AI executes.
What typically changes.
Before
Grown agency contracts — unquestioned for years
Custom development with expensive maintenance and dependencies
Management in IT firefighting mode
Technical decisions blindly delegated
Budget flows into IT infrastructure instead of growth
Blind dependency on individual service providers
After
Honest inventory of all contracts — painful, but necessary
Standard software — cheaper, maintainable, independent
Clean structure gives back time for marketing and sales
One person who understands both tech and business
Freed-up budget flows into customer acquisition
Lean, scalable, no single point of failure
Reduce IT costs. Simplify structures. With and without AI.
We analyse your IT structure, contracts and costs — and show you where standard software can replace custom development, where AI makes sense and where it doesn't. No blanket answers, but an honest assessment of your situation.
