Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

My name is Dorian, and I put my expertise as an IT Director (CIO) at the service of SME executives who wish to regain control of their IT.

Today IT Manager Europe in the aeronautics and defense sector, I also worked in the automotive industry. I have a perfect understanding of the security requirements of large groups, but I am just as proficient in the ultra-operational reality and budget constraints of human-sized structures.

My observation is simple: SME executives are often isolated when dealing with their IT service providers and are faced with complex quotes. This is where I come in as a "part-time CIO".

How I help you concretely:

- IT Provider Management (AMOA): I am your technical shield. I challenge, translate, and negotiate your agencies' proposals to protect your interests.

- IT Cost-killing: Audit of your invoices (licenses, telecommunications, hosting). I track down unnecessary costs for immediate return on investment.

- Strategy & Governance: A completely neutral and independent perspective to align your technological choices with your financial objectives.

My working method:

- I intervene in a very targeted way, in the evenings and on weekends. You give me a problem or a quote to audit at the end of the week, and you get an action plan or a clear report on Monday morning.

- I work on an hourly package basis for precise budget control.

Uncertain about your latest IT quote? Entrust it to me for an initial audit.
