Company Tech Scan

Many SME companies are facing issues and a lack of control in maturing and scaling their products and services, due to technological hurdles.
The Company Tech Scan is a methodology designed by DGTL ink, where your company will be observed and analysed during a certain period via assessments, interviews and on-the-job shadowing.
​
The final report with personalized guidance will give a holistic view on your tech maturity, and will strengthen your organisation by providing concrete advice and how to implement the suggested changes.

Digital ink

DGTL ink, pronounced as Digital Ink, is a tech consultancy company based in the vibrant tech hub of Amsterdam. The company is founded and owned by the seasoned tech generalist Dirk Gietelink. The company name honours his username dgtlink during his Artificial Intelligence Master’s studies in the 90’s. At the same time, digital ink represents the borderline where digitization meets the creativity and human touch (i.e. the ink) required to grow any business.
Every company nowadays is a tech company! Even if your core business isn't tech, you will likely meet technological hurdles in an early or moderate stage of growth. Entrepreneurs bring an amazing business idea to life, but often don’t have the ability to fully oversee the technical complexities, requirements and priorities when it comes to building and scaling a platform for your business. This slows down the desired growth and creates a vacuum between the management and their tech department, which is often experienced as a lack of control.
DGTL ink specializes in consultancy, that bridges the gap between company senior (tech) management and the tech teams, in order to bring an effective toolset and process improvements to be more in control. This is accomplished via our Company Tech Scan, as well as via trainings, workshops and keynotes for management and the various (tech) teams.
Let DGTL ink be your inkwell of inspiration, fueling your digital aspirations with tailored solutions and empowering knowledge.
