CORE SERVICES

Part-time and on your side. Clear answers to the technology questions that matter at board level: what to use, what it costs and who controls it. Most engagements start with one of these four services.

Executive AI Training

Hands-on, one-on-one AI training for you and your management team, built around your own work and the latest developments.

Process Optimization

Business and IT workflows mapped, simplified and automated, so they stop costing time and money.

Vendor Independence

A planned exit from costly lock-ins, putting you back in control of contracts, data and platforms.

IT Maturity

Ad-hoc IT turned into a professional function: governance, security reviews, GDPR compliance and reliable operations.

Ernest M. van der Linden

“I’ve built and run companies since 1999. Today I sit at the table with CEOs and CFOs as their fractional CTO. I don’t make slide decks. I solve problems. I still write software myself, using AI extensively, and follow its development closely, so my advice stays current and practical.”
