What does the orientation workshop cost?

The orientation workshop costs from €1,490 excl. VAT, remote and half a day. It includes preparation, the workshop and the written outcome with a prioritized topic list, a recommendation per topic and a fixed-price proposal for the next step. The workshop is not credited against follow-up orders.

How does the workshop differ from the free intro call?

The intro call takes 30 minutes and clarifies whether and how we can help. The workshop takes half a day for your systems, dependencies and priorities and ends with a written outcome. If the intro call already shows which topic is due, we recommend a selection or a check directly.

Is the workshop online or on site?

Remote is the default; participants only need a computer with camera and microphone. On site is possible plus travel costs.

Do we need prior knowledge or documents?

No. A rough overview of today's systems and contracts helps but is not a prerequisite. We do not need credentials.

What happens after the workshop?

For each topic we recommend a route: solve it yourself, a selection such as the [wiki selection](/en/consultation/knowledge-management/), a check such as the [Linux server audit](/en/managed-operations/server-audit/) or an implementation. You receive a fixed-price proposal for the next step. A selection or a check is credited against the rollout if you order it within 6 months on the same topic.

Is the recommendation vendor-neutral?

Vendor-neutral among self-hostable software. If a SaaS product or another operating model clearly fits better, the recommendation says so. WZ-IT offers implementation and operations, but the topic list is usable without a follow-up order.

IT orientation workshop: decide which topic comes first

You know that something in your IT has to change, but not where to start. In the orientation workshop, management and IT sort systems, pain points and dependencies together. You receive a prioritized topic list with a recommendation per topic and a fixed-price proposal for the next step.

Starting point

Something has to change, but it is unclear what comes first

Several issues at once: ageing servers, rising license costs, data protection questions, dependency on US clouds
Management and IT set different priorities
Before investing, you want to know which topics take precedence
It is unclear whether a selection, an assessment or direct implementation is the right next step

Outcome

A prioritized topic list instead of a strategy paper

After the workshop you know which topics take precedence and how each one continues. The topic list belongs to you and is usable without a follow-up order.

Prioritized topic list
Your topics ordered by urgency and impact, with the dependencies between them.
Recommendation per topic
A reasoned route per topic: solve it yourself, selection, assessment or implementation.
Fixed-price proposal for the next step
For the most important topic you receive a proposal with a fixed price, for example for a selection or a check.

All consulting starting points with prices: intro call, consulting hour, selection and checks.

What clients say about our consulting

Clearly explained, properly assessed and then implemented.

WZ-IT moved our studio infrastructure from decentralised individual devices to a central platform: every site is securely connected via VPN, new devices are onboarded automatically and an entire site is provisioned from a template, without manual steps on location. What impressed me most is the breadth and depth of their knowledge: Timo and Robin are not a typical IT provider who sets up a server and leaves. The two of them think their way into highly complex infrastructure and software topics, work through every requirement we put in front of them, and build networking, provisioning and operations so that everything fits together in the end. WZ-IT is an excellent partner for complex software, network and architecture projects.
