Pros and cons

A balanced read so you can weigh this firm yourself. We do not rank or recommend firms. Independence is shown as a pro; reseller, Big-Four or vendor-side-audit ties as a con — both factual trade-offs.

Pros

Independent consultancy with deep Microsoft licensing focus in the DACH market
Local German and DACH presence, familiar with regional procurement and the EU used-software-license market
Practical optimization angle, including pre-owned licensing as a recognised cost lever under EU law

Cons

Also trades used licenses, a potential conflict of interest with strictly buyer-side advice, because optimization recommendations can favour a transaction
Coverage concentrated on Microsoft and the DACH region rather than multi-vendor or global
Advisory and optimization focus rather than dedicated audit-litigation defense
