— Consulting areas

Eight IT disciplines.
A mandate relationship.

We do not work in practices, but in real mandates. Each project is assigned a senior partner as a single point of contact and a dedicated team — at the level of an international consulting firm, but without its organizational distance.

IT Strategy & Enterprise Architecture

From the IT target operating model to application landscape planning. We develop strategic IT roadmaps that align with business objectives and investment horizons — and are documented in a way that is viable for supervisory boards and investors.

Cybersecurity & Resilience

Security audits, penetration tests, red teaming, incident response setups, and SOC establishment. We bring clients to BSI IT baseline protection level and above — without tool sales interests.

Cloud & Migration

Cloud readiness assessments, migration strategy and implementation for Azure, AWS, and Microsoft 365. Lift-and-shift, replatform, and refactor — pragmatically decided based on workload profile.

Managed IT Premium

SLA-based 24/7 support for workstations, servers, networks, and collaboration platforms. Not helpdesk scripts — but senior engineers with direct escalation paths.

ERP Consulting & Integration

SAP S/4HANA, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Oracle Cloud — selection, implementation management, integration with DATEV/HR/CRM. Manufacturer-independent consulting, non-implementation obligatory.

Digital Workplace

Microsoft 365, Teams, Intune, Defender, Purview — setup, hardening, governance, lifecycle. Including M365 E5 optimization and license audits for cost control.

Compliance: NIS2, ISO 27001, GDPR

NIS2 impact 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 roles, transition support during IT leadership changes or M&A integration. Senior engagement on a daily rate or monthly retainer basis.

— Methodology

Big Four methodology.
Owner-managed discretion.

We work according to the same structured approach you know from KPMG, EY, PwC, and Deloitte — Scoping, Discovery, Diagnostic, Recommendation, Implementation, Sustain. But without 30-member teams, without junior rotation, and without implicit cross-sell incentives.

Scoping & Engagement Letter

Clear mandate delineation, deliverables, and acceptance criteria. Fixed price or daily rate — no time-and-material surprises. Conflict check included.

Diagnostic with Risk Heatmap

Structured assessment with documented findings, prioritized risk heatmap, and quick-win vs. long-term roadmap. Hand-over capable to the board and supervisory board.

Recommendation with Business Case

Investment recommendations with ROI/TCO/IRR model and sensitivity analyses. We provide decision-making foundations, not slides.

Implementation or Independent Oversight

Independent implementation or independent implementation support — depending on the mandate. With Independent Oversight, we remain free from implementation interests.

— Mandate Types

With whom we
typically work.

Mid-sized companies with CIO gap

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

Holdings with heterogeneous subsidiaries

Corporate structures with varying IT maturity levels in the subsidiaries. We consolidate, define corporate standards, and manage the migration of individual subsidiaries step by step.

M&A-driven integration

Post-merger IT integration, carve-out support during company sales, Day-One stabilization after closing. Including TSA structures and service cutover plans.

Compliance-driven mandates

NIS2-affected entities under implementation pressure, ISO-27001 certification preparation, GDPR maturity under ECJ clarification pressure. We ensure you are audit-ready.

— Frequently Asked Questions

What clients
want to know in advance.

How does TABAK differ from KPMG, EY, or PwC?

Methodologically in no way — we operate according to the same structured approaches. Structurally, however, very much: mandates are managed partner-led, not junior-rotated. Cross-sell incentives are excluded, as we do not earn in an implementation division. Discretion is standard, not an extra charge.

What is the minimum mandate size you work with?

Initial mandates start from a project volume of €25,000. Retainer models start from €4,500/month. For smaller engagements, we competently refer elsewhere — our value creation lies in depth, not volume.

Do you also implement yourself?

Yes — for clearly defined mandates and with curated implementation partners. However, upon request, we consciously work only as Independent Oversight: you receive our recommendation and implementation support free from implementation interests.

How do you integrate into existing IT teams?

We come with a clear engagement letter and conflict check, define contact persons on both sides, and work transparently with IT management. No spy-on-the-wall model — rather, senior coaching at eye level.

How is the configurator price calculated?

Indicative — based on typical mandate volumes per area and complexity level. The final price is determined after a confidential scoping discussion and engagement letter negotiation. The configurator indication is a reliable guideline (±20%).
