So your IT projects arrive,not just start.
Whether SAP migration, ERP implementation, or CRM rollout - when your IT project stalls, we take the wheel. Independent, hands-on, and with over 50 successfully managed projects in midsize companies.
- Requirements Management
- Stakeholder Moderation
- Risk Management
- Change Management
- Go-Live Support
- Roll-out Projects
- Technology Migrations
These five warning signs we see time and again.
60-80% of all IT projects fail - through budget overruns, delays, or cancellation. The causes are almost always the same.
The project is running "on the side."
The ERP implementation runs alongside daily business. No dedicated team, no clear ownership - until nothing works at all.
IT and business are talking past each other.
IT thinks in systems, business thinks in processes. Without someone to translate, you end up with solutions nobody uses.
The timeline was set before requirements were clear.
Everyone knows it's unrealistic. Nobody dares to say it out loud.
Your SI partner is running the project - but who's running the SI partner?
Without your own project steering, you lose control. You hear about problems when it's too late.
The executive team approved the project, but never truly committed.
Without backing from the top, there's no authority to push through difficult decisions - and there are many.
Three situations where we step in.
Steering software selection
ERP, CRM, or industry-specific systems: we guide your software selection vendor-independently.
From requirements analysis through vendor evaluation to contract negotiation - so you make the right decision, not the fastest.
Stabilizing active projects
Your IT project is running but not smoothly? We take over external project steering for active implementations.
Clear structures, transparent reporting, and an honest look at timeline, budget, and scope.
Rescuing stuck projects
When nothing works anymore, you need someone who looks at it from the outside.
We do an independent assessment, identify the real blockers, and develop a realistic recovery plan - pragmatic, not political.
We talk to all sides first - before recommending anything.
In most failed IT projects we take over, the problem wasn't the technology - it was that nobody told the truth. IT, business departments, and management each had their own version of reality.
We first talk individually with IT, business departments, and management. Each side tells a different story, and that's exactly where the key lies. From the individual conversations, we build a shared picture before everyone comes to the table. We carry this IT-business dialogue beyond project boundaries too.
Does the timeline work with the current feature scope and budget? Often it doesn't. We say it, constructively, with alternatives, but honestly. Because a plan based on wishful thinking protects no one. We bring the same honesty to strategic IT decisions as Trusted Advisor.
We don't write strategy papers that end up in a drawer. We analyse quickly, make decisions together with you, and get your project moving - in days, not months.
With us, there's no partner who sells and a junior who delivers. Whoever leads the first conversation also manages your project. Boutique means: personal responsibility, no staffing roulette.
No titles, no hierarchy - just results
We take a role in the project team where nobody hesitates to ask difficult questions. No senior-manager airs, no consultant speak. We don't take line responsibility - but we make sure decisions get made and things get done.
Understand technology, move the organization
Large consultancies send generalists who escalate every technical question. Pure tech firms solve technically but fail organizationally. We bring both - and turn seemingly unsolvable problems into concrete, manageable tasks.
Managing complexity.
When it matters most.
A state ministry needed a vaccination management system for 10 million citizens - in 6 weeks. We took over the technical project steering: from tender to go-live.
Over 100 vaccination centers connected, 7,000 users on the platform, 4.8 million vaccinations managed. On time. On budget. Without a single status meeting that could have been an email.

Frequently asked questions about external IT project management
When your IT project exceeds internal capacity, when multiple service providers need coordination, when a project has gone off track, when you need a neutral instance between IT and business departments, or when the executive board wants an independent status report. In all these situations, an external project steerer brings clarity and speed.
For a structured project check, we deliver a clear assessment of your project's status, risks, and next steps - within 5 working days, starting at €13,200. For ongoing project steering, we work with monthly project fees starting at €10,000, tailored to scope and complexity. For clients who also need a strategic sparring partner beyond active projects - someone to call on for critical IT decisions - we offer dedicated advisory retainers. We'll give you a concrete range in the first conversation - no hidden costs.
Project management is operational: assigning tasks, tracking deadlines, writing minutes. Project steering is strategic: driving decisions, aligning stakeholders, addressing risks before they escalate. We don't replace your project manager - we complement them with the steering layer.
That said, for smaller projects we of course handle both. We work pragmatically and don't add an unnecessary steering layer where it doesn't create value.
No. We steer IT projects regardless of technology - whether ERP (SAP, Microsoft, proAlpha), CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot), MES, custom development, or cloud migrations. Our strength lies in steering competence, not product specialization.
Typically within 1-2 weeks. For acute crisis situations, even faster. After the initial conversation, you'll receive a proposal within 48 hours.
No - we're the honest broker between you and your SI partner. We steer, moderate, and control delivery, but we don't implement ourselves. This keeps us independent and allows us to objectively assess whether your service provider's performance is on track.
Project off track? We'll get it back on course.
