IT strategy for your technology
We record which systems you have today, what should stay and in which order to rebuild. You get a plan with priorities and costs that you can work through step by step.
Consulting that carries through to execution
IT consulting focused on executionand interim IT leadership.
We help you make IT decisions that work in daily operations. If your head of IT is absent or leaves, we take on the role for a limited period and then hand over in an orderly way.
When consulting pays off
Consulting pays off before decisions that bind you for years: a new IT provider, new software, a major rebuild of your IT. Mistakes at that point later cost many times what thorough preparation would have cost.
We advise from ten years of project management in the pharmaceutical industry, at automotive suppliers, in manufacturing and in banking. That is why, with every recommendation, we check whether your team can carry it out with reasonable effort and run it afterwards.
What we advise on
Switching IT providers
Before the old contract ends, accounts, licences and documentation have to come back into your company. We plan the handover and make sure nothing is missing on the cut-over date.
Tenders
We describe your requirements so that offers become comparable, and we evaluate the responses with you. You decide on scope and price, not on the best presentation.
Software and vendor selection
We compare the solutions on the market against your requirements. We receive no commissions from vendors, and the outcome is not decided in advance.
Regulations in context
Fabian Schmid personally advises on NIS2, KRITIS, DORA and GMP. We work out with you what these regulations mean for your IT and turn them into concrete measures.
Interim CIO
If your head of IT is absent or leaves, we take on the role for a limited period. We manage providers and ongoing projects and keep operations stable until a successor is in place.
Interim IT leadership
When the head of IT is suddenly missing, decisions stall and external providers carry on without clear direction. We step into that gap, get an overview of contracts, systems and open projects, and make the pending decisions together with management.
We work towards the handover from day one. What we find and what we decide is documented, so your new head of IT can start from an orderly state.

Current-state analysis
We take stock of the existing setup and talk to everyone involved, including your current IT provider.

Written recommendation
You receive a recommendation with reasoning, costs and a timeline that you could carry out without us.

If you wish, we manage the implementation or carry it out ourselves.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What does IT consulting cost at FNLY IT?
Consulting and project management cost €165 per hour excl. VAT. After an initial scoping, we offer defined projects at a fixed price.
Is IT consulting eligible for funding?
In many cases yes, in several German federal states usually with 50 percent of the fee. It is important that you apply for funding and wait for the approval notice before you place the order, otherwise you lose the entitlement.
What is an interim CIO?
An interim CIO takes on the duties of the head of IT for a limited period. This makes sense when the current head of IT is absent or leaves and a successor has not yet been found.
How quickly can you start as interim CIO?
That depends on our workload at the time. In the intro call we give you a binding date from which we are available.
Do you support a change of IT provider?
Yes, it is one of the most common projects we advise on. We plan the handover, take stock of the existing setup and make sure that accounts, licences and documentation are with you in good time.
Do you also implement your recommendations yourselves?
Yes, if you wish, as a project or as part of our Managed IT service. The written recommendation is structured so that your own team or another provider can also work with it.
Are you tied to particular vendors?
No. We receive no commissions from vendors, and we will advise you against buying new software if it does not solve the problem.
