Get a grant for independent IT advice
I am a certified SMV:Digital Advisor. Thirty minutes is enough to see if we’re a good fit. This offer is valid only for Danish businesses.
Current and upcoming funding rounds
Below you will find links to current and upcoming funding rounds where you can use my services as an adviser.
What I advise on
You can get advice to help you determine which solutions are relevant to solving your specific challenge, or whether the project you have in mind will be a sound investment.
You can also receive advice on implementing a digital solution, so that you can be sure of successfully completing your project.
Only consultancy activities that are analytical, preparatory, planning or follow-up in nature are eligible for support.
What the consultancy service may include
Under SMV:Digital, I provide consultancy services exclusively – not implementation.
- Potential assessment: mapping processes, identifying opportunities, business cases and requirements specifications
- Workshops: training your team in new technologies, processes or tools
- Training: upskilling staff so they can carry out tasks themselves
- Supplier assessment: impartial recommendations with multiple proposed solutions
- Security review: identification of risks and an action plan
- Documentation: everything is provided in writing so your team can act on it
How my consultancy has worked in practice
These projects all began in exactly the same way as I do under SMV:Digital: I came in, had a look, identified the problems and drew up a plan. I then helped with the implementation – I don’t do that under SMV:Digital, but that’s why I know my recommendations hold up in the real world.
70+ server infrastructure
Identified performance issues that the team had been living with for years. Identified flawed architectural decisions. Designed a scalable solution based on open source. Advised on prioritisation: what to tackle first, what can wait, and what to scrap.
Contract Management
Discovered that contracts were scattered across spreadsheets, emails and people’s minds. Identified specific instances of lost revenue due to overlooked clauses. We specified requirements for a comprehensive system and identified existing solutions that met those requirements.
CTO/key person left
Assessed the situation in under a week. Documented the existing architecture, which no one else was familiar with. Identified the critical decisions that could not wait and those that could.
Pricing tool
Spotted that the existing pricing tool was a bottleneck: slow, unwieldy, error-prone. We specified a new system that reduced quotation time by 70%.
Automated Order System
Found that manual order processes were costing the equivalent of two full-time roles in pure wasted time. We mapped out the entire workflow, identified sources of error and specified an automation solution that the team could build on themselves.
Sales Commissions
Analysed the manual calculation process. Identified systematic errors that no one had spotted. Advised on a fully transparent solution that resolved the conflict between sales and finance.
Limited capacity
Found that the infrastructure was operating at 30–40 per cent capacity, with downtime costing revenue. Identified the bottlenecks and advised on the order of priority. Full capacity unlocked within the existing budget.
Why choose me?
I don’t just offer advice from the sidelines. I build things myself.
Most consultants know the theory. I’m also familiar with those error messages at 11 pm. I’ve been building and operating infrastructure, systems and integrations myself for over 20 years – and I still do it every day for my regular clients through my consultancy business.
When I advise through SMV:Digital, my recommendations come from someone who has faced the same problems myself. I know what it costs, what can go wrong, what the supplier doesn’t tell you, and what actually works in practice.
- Independent: no ties to suppliers, no commission, no hidden agendas
- 20+ years’ practical experience: infrastructure, security, development, operations, business strategy
- DISC D3 certified: I bridge the gap between technology and management – and can train your team in this
- Active practitioner: I don’t just advise; I build and run systems for my own clients, every single day
- 4 languages (Danish, English, Polish, Spanish): is your company international? Then I’ll fit right in
- I’ve built and sold a SaaS business: 100+ clients over 10 years. I understand the business behind the technology.
Through SMV:Digital, I provide consultancy, workshops and training – not implementation. My recommendations are specific enough for your team or a supplier to put them into practice straight away. And because I do this myself every day, I know they work.

Any questions?
How much will it cost me?
Typically, SMV:Digital reimburses 50% of consultancy costs. The terms and conditions are always set out in the scheme’s application forms.
Are you independent?
Yes. No ties to suppliers, no commission. This is a requirement under SMV:Digital, and it’s how I always work.
Do you also carry out the work yourself?
Not under SMV:Digital. The programme only covers consultancy, workshops and training. However, my recommendations are specific enough for your team to implement them straight away. And yes, outside of SMV:Digital, I build and operate systems on a daily basis for my regular clients.
Can you train our team?
Yes. Workshops and staff upskilling are part of what SMV:Digital covers.
How long does the application take?
Up to 6 weeks.
