— Advisory Areas

Eight IT disciplines.
One client relationship.

We don't run practices — we run mandates. Every engagement gets a senior partner as single point of contact and a dedicated team — at the standard of an international consultancy, without its organisational distance.

IT Strategy & Enterprise Architecture

From IT target operating model to application landscape planning. We develop strategic IT roadmaps aligned with your business objectives and investment horizon — documented to hold up before supervisory boards and investors.

Cybersecurity & Resilience

Security audits, penetration testing, red teaming, incident response setups and SOC build-outs. We bring clients to BSI IT-Grundschutz level and beyond — with no interest in selling you tools.

Cloud & Migration

Cloud readiness assessments, migration strategy and execution for Azure, AWS and Microsoft 365. Lift-and-shift, replatform or refactor — decided pragmatically by workload profile.

Managed IT Premium

SLA-based 24/7 support for workstations, servers, networks and collaboration platforms. No helpdesk scripts — senior engineers with direct escalation paths.

ERP Advisory & Integration

SAP S/4HANA, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Oracle Cloud — selection, implementation governance, integration with DATEV/HR/CRM. Vendor-independent advice, with no obligation to implement.

Digital Workplace

Microsoft 365, Teams, Intune, Defender, Purview — deployment, hardening, governance, lifecycle. Including M365 E5 optimisation and licence audits for cost control.

Compliance: NIS2, ISO 27001, GDPR

NIS2 applicability analysis and implementation support, ISO 27001 certification preparation, GDPR maturity assessments. With verifiable audit trails and audit-ready documentation.

Fractional CIO / IT Interim

Interim CIO mandates, advisory board roles, transition support during IT leadership changes or M&A integration. Senior engagement on a daily-rate or monthly-retainer basis.

— IT Mandate Configurator

Your IT mandate.
Built module by module.

Combine advisory areas and calculate fees in real time. Fixed fees for initial mandates, retainers for ongoing support — priced at the level engagements of this complexity demand.

Your contact details

Confidential under NDA standard. Call-back within one business day.

Thank you — we'll call you back.

Your IT mandate briefing has been received. We'll be in touch within one business day for a confidential scoping call.

— Methodology

Enterprise methodology.
Owner-managed discretion.

We follow the same structured approach you know from KPMG, EY, PwC and Deloitte — scoping, discovery, diagnostic, recommendation, implementation, sustain. But without 30-person teams, without junior rotation and without implicit cross-sell incentives.

Scoping & Engagement Letter

Clear mandate scope, deliverables and acceptance criteria. Fixed fee or daily rate — no time-and-materials surprises. Conflict check included.

Diagnostic with Risk Heatmap

Structured assessment with documented findings, a prioritised risk heatmap and a quick-win vs. long-term roadmap. Ready for handover to executive and supervisory boards.

Recommendation with Business Case

Investment recommendations with ROI/TCO/IRR modelling and sensitivity analyses. We deliver decision-ready material, not slides.

Implementation or Independent Oversight

Hands-on delivery or independent implementation oversight — depending on the mandate. Under Independent Oversight, we remain free of any implementation interests.

— Mandate Types

Who we
typically work with.

Mid-market companies with a CIO gap

Managing directors without a dedicated CIO who need an independent senior voice for strategic IT decisions. We deliver architecture decisions, provider selection and audit support — free of vendor bias.

Holdings with heterogeneous subsidiaries

Group structures with varying IT maturity across their portfolio companies. We consolidate, define group-wide standards and steer the migration of individual subsidiaries step by step.

M&A-driven integration

Post-merger IT integration, carve-out support in company sales, day-one stabilisation after closing. Including TSA structures and service cutover plans.

Compliance-driven mandates

Companies in scope of NIS2 under implementation pressure, ISO 27001 certification preparation, GDPR maturity under pressure from ECJ rulings. We make you audit-ready.

— Frequently Asked Questions

What clients want
to know upfront.

How does TABAK differ from KPMG, EY or PwC?

Methodologically, not at all — we work to the same structured delivery models. Structurally, a great deal: mandates are partner-led, not junior-rotated. Cross-sell incentives are ruled out because we don't earn from an implementation division. Discretion is standard, not a surcharge.

What is your minimum mandate size?

Initial mandates start at €25,000 project volume. Retainer models from €4,500/month. For smaller engagements, we make a competent referral — our value lies in depth, not volume.

Do you also implement yourselves?

Yes — for clearly scoped mandates and with curated implementation partners. On request, we deliberately act as Independent Oversight only: you get our recommendation and implementation support free of any implementation interests.

How do you integrate with existing IT teams?

We arrive with a clear engagement letter and conflict check, define points of contact on both sides and work transparently with IT leadership. No spy-on-the-wall model — senior coaching as equals.

How is the configurator price calculated?

Indicatively — based on typical mandate volumes per area and complexity level. The final price is set after a confidential scoping call and engagement letter negotiation. The configurator indication is a reliable benchmark (±20%).
