IT consulting for businesses that need to make a decision

WVM-IT advises small and medium-sized businesses in Austria and Germany before they invest in IT and building technology: assessment, written concept, comparison of outside quotes and support during implementation. Consulting costs €95 per hour, on-site appointments €120 per hour plus travel. We reply to enquiries within 24 hours — even when the honest answer is that the investment isn't worth it.

The most expensive IT decisions are rarely the wrong devices. They're the decisions nobody made: the server that keeps running for another year because nobody knows what comes next; the software chosen because one vendor called first; the two quotes you can't compare because they describe different things. Here, consulting doesn't mean a presentation. It means someone looks at what you have, listens to what you're planning, and writes down what that means for your technology.

When consulting pays off

  • There are two or three quotes on the table, and nobody in-house can compare them on technical merit.
  • A server, a phone system or a piece of software is reaching end of life, and what replaces it is still open.
  • The business is growing, moving or building — and this time the technology is meant to be planned in advance.
  • The current provider is the only one who knows how everything fits together.
  • IT costs are rising, but nobody can say exactly what for.

What consulting with us covers

  • Assessment: devices, servers, network, licences, contracts, access — recorded in writing
  • Evaluation: what still holds up, what's a risk, what costs more than it delivers
  • A concept with a sequence and a rough cost estimate, not a wish list
  • Quote comparison: outside quotes placed side by side and brought to the same scope
  • Support through tendering, selection and implementation — even when someone else carries it out
  • Handover of all documents, so the decision stays in-house rather than with us

How consulting works

  1. 01

    Initial conversation, free of charge

    Thirty to forty minutes by phone or video call. Afterwards we both know whether there's anything to advise on at all, and what it would cost. We don't bill this time.

  2. 02

    Assessment

    We look at what's actually there — usually remotely, on site for building and event technology. The result is an overview that rarely exists in this form beforehand.

  3. 03

    Written concept

    You receive a document with findings, recommendation, sequence and cost range. It's written so you can also hand it to another provider — that's the point of independent consulting.

  4. 04

    Implementation — with us or without us

    If you give us the implementation, we credit the consulting hours to the project. If you give it to someone else, that's not a problem: the concept belongs to you.

What consulting costs

Consulting costs €95 per hour, on-site appointments €120 per hour plus travel. The initial conversation is free. An assessment with a written concept typically takes between half a day and two days of effort for a typical business; we state the estimate beforehand and either keep to it or let you know before it's exceeded. If you give us the implementation, we credit the consulting hours. Estimated prices, net plus VAT.

Frequently asked questions

What does IT consulting cost?

€95 per hour, €120 per hour plus travel on site; the initial conversation is free. A full assessment with a written concept for a business with ten to thirty workstations usually takes between four and sixteen hours. We state the range before starting.

Are you tied to any manufacturer?

No. We work with partners where it's technically necessary — for building automation and event technology, for example — but we get no payment for recommending a particular product. If a recommendation happens to be financially interesting for us, we say so in the concept.

Do you also advise when another provider does the implementation?

Yes, that's explicitly intended. A concept that only works with us wouldn't be consulting, it would be a sales pitch. You get the documents in a form any competent provider can work from.

Can you review a quote we already have?

Yes, and that's the most common reason people come to us. We bring the quotes to the same scope, point out what's missing or duplicated, and tell you which questions to ask before signing. Two to three hours is usually enough.

What if your recommendation is to do nothing?

Then that's what the concept says. It happens regularly that a system still has two good years left and the money is better spent elsewhere. Consulting that always leads to an investment isn't consulting.

What decision are you facing?

Describe in two sentences what's coming up — an ageing server, a move, two quotes you can't compare. We'll get back to you within 24 hours with an assessment of whether and how much consulting that needs.
