Summary

I support HCL partners, IT service providers, and operators of established Notes/Domino environments at short notice and remotely – with operations, administration, L2/L3 support, ticket handling, troubleshooting, mailflow/SMTP, migration, handover, decommissioning, and analysis.

Immediately deployable: no recruitment effort, no specialist onboarding, productive right away.
Available at short notice: for operational gaps, escalations, backlog reduction, and handovers – preferably 100% remote within the DACH region.
Discreet: your end-customer relationships remain unaffected; as a matter of principle, I do not name customers unless asked.
Clear terms: project-based, subcontracting possible – no permanent employment, no employee leasing.
