technical partnership

Let the system do what is now done by hand

I learn how your processes work, take the manual labour out of them and make the technical decisions that now sit waiting. One process at a time, and something goes live every month.

  • Too much happens by hand
  • Nobody leads the technology
  • AI was promised, not delivered

The result of month one: which actions cost time, how often and how long, ranked by what automating them yields.

Proposal per initiative

One page per process: what happens now, what the system will do, what it yields and how we roll back.

  • Hours from the schedule are now ready automatically; you only confirm.
  • A quote becomes a branded PDF with one click.
  • Searching customers is faster and also matches on postcode.

Release note per delivery

Your users hear in their own words what is new. A message you can forward.

Examples for a fictional company. Yours will hold your processes and your numbers.

how it runs

From shadowing to measurable

I bring the proposals, with what they yield attached. You decide which go ahead; you never have to steer on technology.

  1. Shadow and measure

    month 1

    I record where the time leaks away: which action, how often, how long. At the end there is a candidate list.

  2. First process live

    month 2

    We pick one, I build it, and it goes live alongside the existing process. You see the difference against the measurement.

  3. Rhythm

    month 3 onwards

    A next process every month, plus maintenance of what already runs. Each process goes live on its own and rolls back on its own.

what it costs

One fixed monthly fee

No timesheets, no reconciliation. The fee scales with what there is to do, the rhythm does not.

Nothing to build and your software mostly has to keep running? Then maintenance with a support desk is the cheaper shape. See maintenance with a support desk

who your partner is

One person, with a mandate and without an agency

I am Mathijs Oggel, and for ten years I have built and led software platforms, from first idea to product with real users. Code, data and documentation are in your name, and at the start we agree who takes over if I am out for longer.
