AI implementation in Vienna
In Vienna you can compare. So I claim nothing on this page that you could not check in a single meeting.
What is different in Vienna
Most of the people searching here have already sat through two pitches and know the three-pillars slide by heart. Vienna is the densest provider market in the country. So the prices are on this website instead of “on request”.
The companies are composed differently from those further west: wholesale and retail, construction and building services, logistics on the city edges from Liesing out to the Donaustadt, plus law and accounting practices, property managers and engineering offices. Less manufacturing, more paper. With paper a model works reliably today, provided somebody catches the exceptions.
An in-house IT department is more common here, and that changes my role. Everything then runs through their repository and their deployment, with review by the department I hand over to at the end. I do the work they never get to in day-to-day operations.
Travel
Vienna sits on the same rail corridor as Salzburg. I work on the train, so getting there costs me no working day and does not appear on your invoice.
I come for whole days. A survey needs the afternoon when something goes wrong; in the morning everyone is prepared.
Four questions to compare any provider with
- Who writes the code?
- Ask to meet the person who writes it, not the one who sells it.
- Who owns the result?
- Ask which repository the code ends up in and what keeps running when the contract ends. Anything switched off at the end of a contract was a rental, not a rebuild.
- When is the price fixed?
- A fixed price after a survey can be checked against the numbers. A day rate with no scope attached gives you nothing to check it against.
- Who do you reach at 7am?
- Ask for a name, not a support line number.
If you already know which process costs you most, we do not need a preliminary call. One day and a date are enough.
