Your digital transformation projects stop being a headache when you feel confident purchasing technology
And you will need to buy technology
So, this is almost certainly of interest to you
If the number of options overwhelms you to the point of “paralysis by analysis”.
If you worked with a traditional consulting firm and their recommendation happened to coincide with the product sold by their colleagues in the department next door.
If you cannot understand what technology companies offer, and as you listen to them you think “I don’t understand sh*t, the problem must be me” while a feeling of wasted time invades you.

I always wanted to be an entrepreneur.
But not in the traditional sense of inventing the new Apple, that involves having a disruptive idea, raising capital, going to San Francisco and changing the world.
No. I do not have the idea, the will nor probably the talent to do it.
I am talking about launching something that helps companies to improve their condition in one of the multiple pain points they face daily to remain competitive.
Something that I have extensive experience in, that does not require inventing fancy stuff but at the same time of high value to my customer.
A service to help companies find a third party innovation technology solution that improves their business.
And why this service?
During my time as a consultant I participated in a project to help a large (VERY large) power generating company to purchase the monitoring solution to manage their wind farms and photovoltaic plants spread over 28 countries.
It was about translating the business need into requirements and exploring the market to find a manufacturer with a solution to operate their plants remotely.
After 6 months of intense work, many mistakes and some meaningful success, we selected the manufacturer with the technology that best suited the needs of this European giant.
A boatload of work, but a great success too.
After that, I have walked the same path 4 more times, in 4 different businesses to select 5 different technologies.
Along the way I have learned:
- To avoid the mistakes that can ruin a project
- To map the sources of risk and designing solutions to avoid them
- What works and what does not, as I have also led the deployment phase of some of those projects
That means that now I know:
Where to look
What questions to ask
When to politely end a conversation that is going nowhere
How to speed up the process
And how does all this affect you?
I have distilled all this knowledge and I offer it to companies that need to accelerate their success towards their business goals by purchasing technology.
Statistics tell us that 93% of companies that purchase technology for the first time, fail.
Imagine how drastically you can increase your success rate by lowering the height of that huge wall.
So here are a few important things.
If you work with me, you will be buying the opportunity to:
- Protect your budget and your reputation, bringing to light usually overlooked risks to minimize the chances of your digital transformation project to fail
- Receive independent advisory: I have no hidden agreements with manufacturers. Our incentives will be aligned, and you will talk directly with me
- Speed up the process as much as possible, discarding non-viable solutions early
10 things you will discover if we work together
1.- Why you are overlooking sources of risk and you do not know it
2.- Two things that, if done correctly, will dramatically reduce investment risk
3.- A list you should keep with you during the entire selection process
4.- Something that minimizes the risk of making wrong decisions and, at the same time, simplifies the future implementation
5.- The best way to leverage the data collection and analysis stage to increase the probability of selecting the optimal solution, while maximizing your resources
6.- A simple question that reveals a future risk you will face, never asked during the selection process
7.- Something that will optimize your final decision once the solution meets the minimum requirements
8.- Four core questions in most IT sourcing processes that are only useful to make you waste your time
9.- A frequently asked question in large companies that can set you for failure
10.- The common thread that all my recommendations have, that is a guarantee of success
Frequently Asked Questions
What do you mean by “Technology”?
I am referring to advanced technologies such as tracking technology based on IoT dataloggers, Autonomous Mobile Robots or Augmented Reality smartglasses. I am not referring to CRMs, ERPs or similar systems.
Who is this Service for?
For companies that seek to improve their business onboarding an advanced IT technology solution but do not know the best manufacturer or how to run the sourcing processes. No matter the sector, whether you sell product or service or whether your company is local or global.
Do you have a team?
No, I do not have a team. I provide an advisory service, which includes guidance through the process, attending meetings, analysis of information and support to decision making. It does not include delivery work, such as hands-on research, for example.
What is the price?
In every project, my only goal is to make money providing a personalized advisory service to clients I am fully confident I can help. That is why I assess, study, and analyze each project before getting started, and I give you a price that fits the work needed for your case.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
No, that would not be serious. If you have doubts about whether I can help, connect with me. If after we talk you still have doubts, do not buy.
I think you can help us, what are the next steps?
Fill out the contact form to schedule a Q&A session.
During the chat, we will discuss your needs, I will answer your questions, and will tell you if I can help. If it works out for both of us, I will send you a contract summarizing what we will do and the price.
If it does not work for any of us, I will tell you the reasons.
What will you need from us?
For our chat to be productive, I will nee the person who will make the decision to kick off the project joining our call. Other team member can join, but the decision-maker should be there.
Is it a good investment?
It all depends on your team’s experience in selecting and implementing this technology and the risk you are willing to take.
No one knows that better than you.
