Most IT advice comes from someone who will later sell you something: a software vendor, an integrator, an agency. That is not necessarily bad, but “do we need this at all?” is rarely the question they lead with. Say you supply parts to the car industry from Novo mesto and employ seventy people. On the desk sit three ERP proposals, a security questionnaire from your largest customer and a quote for new servers. Each is convincing on its own; together they exceed the annual IT budget. We sell neither licences nor hardware, so we can calmly tell you what is urgent, what can wait and what you can do without. Every recommendation is backed by figures, and the entire engagement runs remotely through video sessions and view-only access.
Some questions concern the future: where IT spending should go over the coming years and in which sequence. Others concern the system that already carries your business: is it dependable, secure and transferable? The first kind needs conversations with leadership and a read of your contracts; the second needs source code, configuration and logs. Hence two distinct services, available on their own or as a pair.
We convert every department's wish list into a sequence of projects with amounts, owners and dates for revisiting decisions. Dependencies between projects, your team's capacity and upcoming obligations, from eSLOG 2.0 e-invoices to NIS2 and the EU AI Act, all shape the order.
Using view-only access we examine your bespoke software: can it be reinstalled from its own instructions, how are the parts wired together, how robust are the links to Minimax, Pantheon or a payment gateway, and where does personal data end up? Each finding receives a severity grade and a price tag.
Consulting is not something a business orders every month. It is usually triggered by a specific event with a deadline or a large sum attached, where leadership wants the view of someone with no stake in the outcome.
Requirements are written before the first demo. Whether the shortlist holds Pantheon, Minimax, Metakocka, SAP Business One, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central or Odoo, we then split every offer into identical cost lines, from data migration and training to yearly maintenance, so the genuinely better deal stands out.
Knowledge should not walk out of the door. We list domains, admin accounts, licences, backups and contracts, and check which of them are registered to the company and which to an individual. Whoever comes next gets a map instead of guesswork.
Answers have to survive scrutiny. Vehicle makers, retail chains and a growing number of firms within NIS2 scope ask suppliers for documented multi-factor login, backups, incident handling and GDPR compliance. We help you reply honestly and draw up a timed plan for whatever is missing.
We test technical readiness. Sending eSLOG 2.0 e-invoices via your exchange provider, fiscal verification of receipts, archiving and the hand-off to bookkeeping. We establish what is absent and what completing it would cost, while tax questions remain with your accountant.
The technology strand of due diligence. Who owns the code, whether licensing is in order, how much technical debt hides in the systems and which people are irreplaceable. Such risks move the value of the deal, so it is better to know them before signing.
We find out what you are really paying for. Subscriptions nobody opens, two tools for one job, seats for former staff, contracts that renew themselves. You get a list with yearly amounts and a recommendation on what to cancel, merge or keep.
A good report also says what to leave alone. A document that recommends everything and ranks nothing hands the decision straight back to you. Ours open with a single-page summary, order recommendations by impact and cost, and give reasons for the items we suggest postponing. Technical depth lives in the appendices, so the director reads the summary, the IT administrator works from the annexes, and both are discussing the same document.
There are no site visits. Conversations happen on video, access is view-only and opened by you, and documents live in a shared folder. Scope, deadline and price are agreed in writing before any work starts.
Roughly three quarters of an hour by video: which decision is pending, who will take it and by when.
We spell out what gets examined, who we interview, what access is required, when the report arrives and the fee. Any change to scope needs your approval first.
Interviews with leadership and users, a look through contracts, settings and code, practical tests. Should we hit a serious risk along the way, you hear about it the same day.
You receive the report with its summary and annexes, and we then go through it point by point in a joint session with management.
Generally well, if you involve them from the outset. We interview them and record their position in the report. The aim is a clear picture, not a culprit. Quite often it turns out the provider had flagged the problems long ago and there was simply no budget.
Strategy work needs only interviews, contracts and an exported list of licences. An architecture review needs view-only accounts for the repository, hosting panel and logs, which you open and close yourself. We never ask for administrator passwords by email.
For the technical and organisational work, yes. We assess whether you may fall among essential or important entities, or supply one, highlight gaps and suggest appropriate measures such as risk assessment, incident response planning, supply chain security and event logging. We follow ISO 27001 principles, issue no certificates, and leave legal interpretation to your lawyer.
No. We do not sell equipment and accept no payments from manufacturers or resellers. You pay solely for advisory time, which is why our advice can just as easily be to keep what you have and fix a handful of things.
The needs analysis and cost estimate can support your own groundwork if you are weighing a Slovenian Enterprise Fund call, a digitalisation voucher or EU funds. Apply is not an authorised adviser, prepares no applications and makes no promise that money will be granted. Eligibility and conditions should be confirmed with whoever runs the call.
That depends on the number of systems and people involved. Our rate is €50 an hour plus VAT, and a fixed fee is possible once the scope is clear. The report creates no obligation to keep working with us; anybody can implement its recommendations.
Describe what has to be decided and what is making you hesitate. We will come back with a suggested scope, timeframe and fixed fee for the analysis.

An engineer will write back no later than the following working day. Faults that leave your staff unable to work are always looked at first.
No town by that name here. Check the letters, or settle for the nearest larger place. Our engineers work only over the internet, so Kočevje and Koper get precisely the same treatment.
