For SMEs, local authorities and manufacturers in the Gers and the Toulouse area. ## IT and AI strategy An assessment, a costed roadmap, and the order in which to tackle things. - Assessment of your tools, workflows and data - A twelve- to eighteen-month IT master plan - The AI use cases worth doing — and those that are useless ## Choosing your tools ERP, CRM, DMS, point of sale, servers: choosing, connecting to what exists, migrating the data. - A reasoned choice, with no vendor commission - Data you can always get back out - No technical debt: a tool you can update, and leave ## Automating workflows Connecting tools that ignore each other, removing re-keying and manual reminders. - We follow a real case end to end to see where information gets lost - Data entered once flows from one tool to the next - Reminders, exports and alerts go out on their own — and every automation is monitored ## AI in production Use cases that hold up: capped costs, controlled data, hosting you choose. - Incoming documents, tenders, reports, an assistant over your own documents - On your premises, on your server or in a controlled cloud, decided use case by use case - A spending cap, and data not reused for training ## Business software and intranets When off-the-shelf isn't enough: a custom, documented web and mobile tool. - Built from your spreadsheets and your real practices - Delivered in stages, with a quick first go-live - Role-based access, audit trail, export always possible ## Taking over legacy systems Understanding software nobody can explain anymore, documenting it, deciding what to keep. - We start from the code and the real data, not from outdated documentation - A single business vocabulary: yours - Three costed scenarios: keep, evolve, rebuild ## How we can work together - **Assessment** — Half a day on site: tools, workflows, data, AI use cases. You leave with a written report. - **IT master plan** — A twelve- to eighteen-month roadmap: what, in which order, and what each step costs. - **Scoping workshop** — Your project becomes a written file you can take to a bank or a board. - **Fixed price per deliverable** — Written scope, fixed price, dated milestones. It's the format I prefer. - **Project ownership support** — You stay in charge: I bring the method, the technical arbitration and the follow-up. ## Bringing in AI without scaring anyone - **Listen first** — “Is my job going to disappear?” The question comes up at the first workshop, out loud. A tool installed against the team ends up unused. - **Then show** — Not a lecture on AI: ten minutes on their own documents. Seeing the machine make mistakes, and keeping the last word, defuses most of it. - **Then build** — Those who will use it scope, test and decide. That's where adoption happens, not at delivery. Hands-on workshops complete the support, on your tools and your documents. What I refuse: selling AI through job cuts. ## Written down before we start - **A fixed price per deliverable** — Every engagement is quoted: no meter running, no extension halfway through. - **Two options, both quoted** — The classic way, and the AI-assisted way, cheaper because faster. You see the difference, and it goes to you. - **Turnkey, no subscription** — No recurring fees on my side. Hosting and supplier accounts are opened in your name: you pay them directly. - **Reversible** — Code, documentation and data are handed over. No proprietary tool: another provider can take over. ## Frequently asked questions ### How much does an engagement cost? It's quoted, with a fixed price per deliverable. The first one-hour conversation is free: you describe your situation and priorities, and you leave knowing where to start — advice, project ownership support or delivery. ### Do we need to change software to use AI? Rarely. Most useful use cases — reading incoming documents, drafting a report, querying your own documents — plug into the tools you already have. ### Where is our data hosted? Wherever you decide: on your machines, on a server rented in Europe in your name, or with a cloud provider under a spending cap. The choice is made use case by use case, and sensitive data stays put. ### Will we depend on you? No. Accounts are in your name, code and documentation are handed over, and no proprietary tool is used: another provider can take over at any time. ### Who are these services for? SMEs, local authorities and manufacturers in the Gers and the Toulouse area — and small businesses, for their website and everyday tools. ### Do you offer training? Hands-on workshops, on your tools and your documents. No certified training: I'm listed with neither Qualiopi nor Datadock. ## What I don't do - Visual identity and printing - Reselling hardware and licences - 24/7 on-call and managed services - Paid advertising - High-volume e-commerce For these, I'll point you to someone else. Stating your limits is what makes the rest credible. ## Shops, craftspeople, associations I also build websites you update yourself, online sales and booking, and AI for everyday chores. A well-defined offer, with a written quote within 72 hours. ## A free one-hour conversation You describe your situation and priorities, and you leave knowing where to start — advice, project ownership support or delivery. - Email : contact@sebastiensoulier.com - Phone : 06 77 22 89 25 --- Equivalent HTML page : https://www.sebastiensoulier.com/en/services Other pages : - https://www.sebastiensoulier.com/en - https://www.sebastiensoulier.com/en/references - https://www.sebastiensoulier.com/en/about - https://www.sebastiensoulier.com/en/legal - https://www.sebastiensoulier.com/en/business-card
