Honest advice over revenue
If something doesn't make technical sense, I won't build it. Sometimes a spreadsheet is the best solution: and I'll say so.

Background
From IT specialist to automation partner
After years as a developer, automation specialist and technical advisor across varied organisations, I started Altena IT & Automation. The common thread: making complex systems understandable and genuinely improving them: not just "also building".
- Web development, SEO and technical performance
- Automation of repetitive work (RPA · UiPath)
- AI assistants and chatbots based on your own data
- System integrations and digital transformation
Working method
Understand first, build second
Every engagement starts with listening and mapping. What already works well, where is the frustration, what costs time or money without adding value? Once that's clear, we decide together where to start.
- Direct communication: no account managers or middle layers
- Transparent planning and clear pricing agreements
- Documentation and knowledge transfer as standard
- Available after delivery for maintenance and further development
What I stand for
Plain language
No jargon or buzzwords. I explain what I build, why it works this way, and how you can manage it yourself.
Measurable results
Every project has a goal: less manual work, faster site, more leads. We measure it upfront and afterwards.
