Digital Transformation
Supporting organisations in transitioning to modern software development and IT management — with a strong focus on automation and artificial intelligence. Key areas:
  • Process automation — identifying repetitive tasks and implementing tools that reduce time and operational costs
  • AI in software development — moving from traditional coding to AI-assisted development, dramatically shortening the path from business need to working functionality
  • Roles & competency transformation — shifting IT team mindsets, evolving the developer role towards prompt engineer and AI solutions architect
  • Implementation strategy — practical transformation roadmap tailored to organisational maturity, with phased approach and measurable results
  • Risk management — legal aspects (copyright of AI-generated code, licensing), data security, AI output quality control
Technological transformation without losing control over the process and product.
IT Audits in Due Diligence
Assessment of a company's technological maturity in the context of M&A transactions or capital investments. Audit scope:
  • System architecture and technology stack
  • Source code quality
  • Infrastructure and security
  • Development processes (CI/CD, DevOps)
  • Technical debt level
  • Legal assessment — software copyrights and IT service agreements
The result is a report identifying technological risks, realistic IT maintenance and development cost estimates, and concrete recommendations for the investor. Each Executive Summary is backed by detailed analytical documentation — full transparency for decision-makers.
Corporate IT Advisory
Supporting boards, supervisory councils and owners in IT-related decision-making. Independent answers to key questions:
  • Are IT costs adequate for the organisation's scale and needs?
  • Are IT vendors delivering services in line with market standards and pricing?
  • Does the IT team have competencies aligned with business objectives?
  • Is IT delivering business value — not just technological capability?
Expert assessment understandable by management — no jargon, with concrete conclusions and recommendations.
IT Contract Audit
Verification and support in creating IT vendor contracts — from negotiation through to final delivery. Key areas:
  • SLA & maintenance — priority classification, response and resolution times, contractual penalties, guaranteed availability and system performance
  • Software development — engagement models (T&M, Fixed Price), pricing principles, partial deliveries, delay penalties
  • Copyright & licensing — transfer of software rights, licensing terms, sublicenses, protection against third-party claims
  • Termination & transition — contract exit conditions, training for new vendors, transition procedures
  • Security & information protection — liability for vulnerabilities, NDA, right to audit security procedures
Technology Company Due Diligence
In-depth operational analysis of IT companies and software houses — assessing not just technology, but primarily how software development is managed. Scope:
  • Project management — methodology assessment, measuring efficiency, quality and delivery timeliness
  • Capacity & resources — team performance analysis, role assessment, key personnel experience verification
  • Organisational structures — responsibility allocation, information flow, role interchangeability
  • Knowledge sharing — inter-team knowledge exchange processes, internal documentation
  • Tools & development processes — project management systems, CI/CD, monitoring, automation
  • Compliance & security — license verification, data protection, solution scalability
The final report identifies specific risk and potential areas — a decision-making tool for management or investors.

About

16E — a boutique advisory firm at the intersection of business and technology. A small team of experts with experience on both sides of the industry — as IT service providers and as clients.

The core value 16E delivers to clients is efficiency. Every project starts with an assessment of the IT area in terms of real costs and processes — and ends with concrete recommendations that translate into measurable savings and better resource utilisation.

16E advisory doesn't end with diagnosis. Every recommendation includes a precise implementation path — not just what to change, but above all how. This saves the client time and ensures that recommendations are actionable.

Independence
No capital or business ties to IT vendors. Recommendations based solely on client interest — no commissions, no hidden dependencies.
30 Years of Experience
16E consultants are practitioners with thirty years in the IT industry — from managing technology companies, through system implementations in financial services, telecoms and e-commerce, to audits and due diligence processes.
360° Perspective
Experience gained in CEO, CIO, PM and architect roles — on both IT vendor and client sides. A complete picture of every challenge, seen from both sides of the contract.
Current IT Knowledge
Active presence in the IT market — familiarity with current technologies, AI tools, development processes and market trends. Clients gain a partner who speaks today's industry language, not yesterday's.
Client Trust
Returning clients with new engagements — long-term collaboration built on results, not promises. The best recommendation is being invited back to the next project.

Efficiency, competitiveness, people — these are the pillars of every healthy business. IT is no different, regardless of the scale of the project, system or team.
