IT consulting · cost reduction · remote-first

Your IT can cost less – and run better.

Since 2008 I've worked in enterprise IT for large companies in energy, manufacturing and food production. Now, independently, I help companies cut IT costs and simplify operations – from audit and optimization through cloud management and migration to deploying enterprise AI.

// for founders, IT managers and companies that take IT seriously

// OPERATING COST – BEFORE / AFTER OPTIMIZATION up to −20% on costs
Lost in your own IT?

You know it could be cheaper, simpler and more modern – you just don't know where to start. I translate technology into business terms, show you where the money leaks, and propose the first concrete step. No fluff.

Services

Four areas where I save companies real time, money and headaches.

01

IT consulting & cost reduction

I go through your IT – infrastructure, licensing, operations and cloud – and find where the money leaks. Typically up to 20% savings, with no impact on operations or availability.

02

Cloud management & optimization

Managing and optimizing AWS and Azure – one of the most effective ways to cut costs. Design, migration and day-to-day operations that stay on budget.

Enterprise AI deployment (RAG)

A secure AI assistant over your own documents. Built on AWS, GDPR-compliant, integrated into the systems you already run.

Security & compliance

I get you ready for the EU regulations now landing on leadership's desk. Security and governance audits, risk analysis, policies and evidence – working to ISO/IEC 27001 principles.

ISO 27001risk analysisgovernanceaudit
What else I do

Not just cloud. The full IT lifecycle – from design to reporting.

On-prem ↔ cloud migration

Moving to the cloud, or back on-prem when that makes more sense. No ideology – driven by cost and risk.

Problem investigation

When something "breaks and nobody knows why." I trace the root cause across the infrastructure and fix it.

Presales, sales & cost estimation

The technical partner your sales team needs. Solution design, realistic pricing and defending it to the client.

Project management

Leading transformation projects and teams. Deadlines, budget, stakeholders – from kickoff to handover.

BI & reporting

Turning operational data into something leadership understands. Cost, performance and risk, made legible for the C-level.

Architecture advisory

An independent look at your stack. Where you're exposed, where you overpay, and what to fix first.

Security & compliance

Governance and risk analysis, readiness for security and compliance audits. Working to ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 20000 principles.

Business continuity & DR

Designing backup scenarios and disaster recovery so an outage doesn't mean a business shutdown. Experience running isolated critical infrastructure.

How we'd work together

From the first call to results in four steps. No surprises.

01

Intro call

A short call where I understand your situation, goals and pain points. I'll tell you straight whether I can help.

~30 min · free
02

Audit & analysis

I review your environment, costs and architecture. I find the opportunities, risks and quick wins – backed by numbers.

days to 1–2 weeks
03

Plan & estimate

A concrete plan with priorities, cost and benefit estimates. You decide based on facts, not gut feeling.

clear written output
04

Delivery & handover

Implementation, documentation and handover to your team – or ongoing collaboration and oversight. Whatever you need.

Selected work

Where it hurt most – and what came out of it.

Cost reduction

Consolidating and optimizing storage and backups.

Fragmented data, slow access and expensive, opaque backups. Consolidating and optimizing storage simplifies operations, speeds up access and cuts cost – data in one place, faster access and reliable backup.

optimizationspeed-upcentralizationbackup
Spend audit

Auditing spend and analyzing suspicious storage costs.

The invoices kept growing, but nobody knew why. I went through the spend line by line and traced suspicious and duplicate storage costs – capacity billed twice, orphaned resources and services no one used anymore – and flagged clearly what to cancel.

spend auditduplicate costsorphaned resourcessavings
Critical infrastructure

"Island Mode" – isolated failover for critical infrastructure.

Design and delivery of a disaster-recovery program that can disconnect and independently run the client's key systems during an outage. Enterprise VMware environment, zero compromise on availability.

Security & compliance

Getting an environment ready for a compliance audit.

Risk analysis, policies and evidence so the environment stands up to an auditor and a regulator. I work to ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 20000 principles.

About

Enterprise depth, without the enterprise overhead.

Michal Krejčí
Michal Krejčí

I'm Michal Krejčí, a Solutions Architect. I've worked in enterprise IT since 2008 – the person companies called when critical infrastructure was on the line – design, migration, disaster recovery, talking to leadership. I've worked for major players in energy, manufacturing and food production – from a global manufacturer with 110,000+ employees to environments with thousands of users where an hour of downtime costs a fortune.

Today I offer that experience independently – focused on cutting IT costs and simplifying operations. You get a senior perspective, straight talk and solutions that work in real operations – not slides. And I pair it with what's new: I built my own enterprise AI chatbot (RAG) on AWS, so I know how to deploy AI safely, not just talk about it.

If working together doesn't make sense, I'll tell you upfront. It saves us both time.
