What you gain
A counterpart who knows both sides
Three companies run as sole managing director, a mail-order business turned around with its revenue doubled, a matrix organisation introduced across two subsidiaries, teams of four to more than thirty people. Alongside that, a management information system built as a controlling instrument — and above all the implementation of the measures it revealed.
Change succeeds through communication and empathy towards departments, employees and shareholders. I learned that while carrying the responsibility.
An architecture that holds
Clear layers, separation of data and evaluation, configurable processes: a structure that still carries the solution five years on. I produce that design myself, and I can also implement it.
Independence afterwards
After the engagement your organisation works with the solution itself: documented, with standards in place and people trained. Adjustments are usually made through configuration, and further development is possible without me.
Who for
From owner-managed businesses through to corporate environments with several thousand workstations. The work covers the replacement of grown systems, the build-up of dependable reporting and the adoption of new tools — alongside the continuous, goal-oriented improvement of processes across every function, from finance and purchasing through to sales.
Pragmatic, cost-conscious decisions were always standard in the Mittelstand, and they have stayed that way for me.

Development and architecture
For application development, modernisation of legacy applications and software architecture in the Microsoft environment I run a separate brand: Eckardt Fritz
