Responsibilities of an IT Consultant

Despite all the differences, there are certain tasks that recur in IT consulting regardless of the project:

• Requirements analysis: identification of specific change requests
• Acquisition & quotation: finding suitable portfolio elements for our customers
• Conception: creation of strategic & technical solution concepts
• Project delivery: implementation of new solutions & migration of legacy systems
• Change & adoption: supporting customers’ employees during the change process
• Optimization & support: assistance with any questions & ongoing optimization of solutions

Typical projects in IT consulting

Digital workplace & collaboration

You will design and develop Microsoft 365 solutions in collaboration with your colleagues and roll them out to customers. The goal here is to design the digital workplace in the customer’s company in such a way that daily (collaborative) work in the office, remotely and in hybrid form is supported in the best possible way. This also includes, for example, modern device management, which makes mobile working possible.

Cyber & IT security

No matter where a company’s employees work from, they always need stable, fast access to information, data and applications. At the same time, this must not give rise to any risk for the company, for instance through unauthorized access or cyber-attacks. This is exactly what you and your team ensure by providing convenient identity management, for example, and continuously improving cyber and IT security using concepts such as Zero Trust.

Cloud & IT modernization

These days, many companies are pursuing a cloud-first strategy and would like to consolidate and modernize their IT landscape as a result. This is something you will support them in, from migrating legacy systems to integrating a wide variety of applications to delivering a cloud strategy.
