Management consulting: your Microsoft Cloud & AI roadmap

ICT 365 advises executives and IT leadership on the way through Microsoft 365, Azure and AI: we assess where you stand, prioritise initiatives by benefit and risk, and translate them into an executable roadmap – which we can also implement with you. For over 30 years we have advised companies and IT decision-makers: listen first, then recommend.

When direction-setting decisions are due

For us, management consulting does not start with a slide but with questions. Typical occasions:

Cloud, AI, security, licensing – pressure everywhere, but no shared direction.
The IT landscape has grown; what gets consolidated, replaced or expanded is open.
Microsoft releases faster than anyone can internally assess what is relevant.
Projects start – but without a target picture they remain isolated measures.

What our consulting covers

From the first assessment to accompanied execution:

Assessment: IT landscape, ways of working, licences, risks
Target picture and prioritisation by business benefit, effort and risk
Microsoft Cloud & AI roadmap with clear stages and responsibilities
Architecture and technology decisions with traceable reasoning
Regular advisory meetings – weekly or monthly, depending on the phase
Execution support with our technical teams, where wanted

Consulting that can build

The difference between a strategy paper and progress is that every single stage can actually be executed.

Our recommendations come from project practice: the same people who develop roadmaps also build applications, portals and migrations – for enterprises such as Rockwell Automation and ArcelorMittal as well as for the mid-market. That is why our roadmaps contain no stages that cannot be built. And because the Microsoft world changes quarterly, we track new developments continuously and keep your planning current – from licensing models to AI capabilities.

AI belongs in the roadmap – with good judgement

Hardly any decision is demanded more often in 2026 than the one about AI – and hardly any is rushed more often.

We assess where AI measurably benefits your company: from Copilot in daily work through agents for scoped tasks to AI-assisted development as we practise it ourselves. Just as clearly, we name the preconditions – data quality, permissions, skills – and the duties from the EU AI Act, such as staff AI literacy required since February 2025. AI becomes a planned part of your roadmap instead of an experiment beside it.

How we work in management consulting

Initial conversation

We listen: business goals, pain points, past decisions. Then we tell you honestly whether and how we can help.
Assessment

IT landscape, licences, ways of working and risks are captured in a structured way – compact, not a mammoth audit.
Target picture and roadmap

Prioritised stages with benefit, effort and responsibilities – aligned with executives and IT.
Accompanying execution

We steer stages, review results and adjust the roadmap when conditions change.
Regular meetings

Weekly or monthly: progress, decisions, Microsoft news – your goals stay reliably in view.

Frequently asked questions about management consulting

How much does management consulting at ICT 365 cost?

That depends on scope and rhythm: a compact assessment is priced differently from ongoing support with regular meetings. After the initial conversation you receive an offer with a clearly defined scope.

How quickly is a roadmap ready?

After assessment and target picture – how fast that goes depends on the size and complexity of your IT landscape. We work compactly: better a reliable roadmap in stages than a months-long audit nobody reads.

Are you vendor-neutral?

We are Microsoft specialists and say so openly: our strength is depth in Microsoft 365, Azure and the Power Platform, not breadth across all vendors. Within that world we recommend what fits you – even when it is the smaller licence or the built-in tool you already own.

What company size is this for?

Our consulting addresses the mid-market and departments of larger companies. The experience comes from both worlds: enterprise projects such as Rockwell Automation and ArcelorMittal – and many pragmatic mid-market solutions.

What sets you apart from classic strategy consultancies?

We implement what we recommend: behind the roadmap stand the teams that build applications, portals, migrations and AI introductions. That keeps recommendations honest – whoever has to build a stage themselves plans no castles in the air.
