IT consulting that fits your business.

I advise small and mid-sized businesses in Bottrop, the western Ruhr Area and remotely across Germany and beyond – vendor-independent, from the first assessment to guided implementation. Four focus areas, one point of contact.

Focus areas

Typical engagements

This list is not exhaustive. If your topic isn’t here, just ask.

01 · Security

Cybersecurity & NIS2

Attacks no longer target only large corporations. I help you assess risks realistically and put protective measures in place that fit your budget.

  • Assessment and risk analysis of your IT security
  • NIS2 applicability check and an actionable roadmap
  • Ransomware protection: backup, recovery and incident response plans
  • Vendor-neutral evaluation of firewall, endpoint, SD-WAN and SASE solutions
  • Security awareness for management and staff

02 · Infrastructure

Cloud & Infrastructure

The right mix of on-premises infrastructure and cloud saves money and headaches. Together we develop a target architecture that works today and scales tomorrow.

  • Current-state analysis of servers, storage, network and licenses
  • Cloud strategy: hybrid, hyperscaler or on-premises
  • Virtualization and hyperconverged infrastructure, evaluation of VMware alternatives
  • Storage, NAS and backup concepts up to object storage
  • Site connectivity with VLAN, VPN and SD-WAN

03 · Processes

Digitalization & AI

Many routine tasks can be automated – with or without AI. I show where the effort pays off and guide the rollout pragmatically and with data privacy in mind.

  • Process mapping and assessment of automation potential
  • Sensible, GDPR-compliant use of AI tools
  • Selection of suitable software and platforms
  • Cross-site collaboration and data exchange
  • Workshops using design thinking methods

Leadership & Business Development

More than 25 years in pre-sales, many of them in leadership roles, have taught me how technology is sold and how teams are built. IT service providers, system integrators and vendors benefit from this – as does any company that wants to present itself clearly and professionally.

  • Building and professionalizing pre-sales and sales processes
  • Team building, coaching and mentoring of sales engineers
  • Partner enablement and go-to-market for IT solutions
  • Preparing for meetings with executives and the C-suite
  • Corporate identity, website and social media

Working together

How it works

Clear steps, no surprises: after each step you decide whether and how to proceed.

1

Intro call

30 minutes, no obligation. You describe your situation, I ask questions and give you a first assessment.

2

Assessment

Together we review systems, processes and requirements – on site or remotely.

3

Recommendation & roadmap

You receive a clear evaluation with priorities, effort and realistic options.

4

Implementation support

If you wish, I support the tender, selection and rollout – and keep track of the big picture.

Why WM Consulting

Independent, experienced, clear

  • No vendor ties: I don’t sell hardware or licenses – I evaluate what fits you.
  • Experience from enterprise projects at EMC, Nutanix, Panzura and Check Point – scaled to the size of your business.
  • Technology and business thought through together: architecture, budget and operations in view.
  • One dedicated point of contact instead of rotating consultants.
