Questions, answered before the first meeting.

A4IT was founded and is led by Tim De Smedt, with over ten years in enterprise software development and project management. More on the about page.

Directly with Tim and the core development team. No middlemen, no account manager.

The focus is on SMEs, and on enterprise development. Size matters less than whether someone on your side can decide and take part.

A4IT is based in Belgium and works remotely worldwide. On-site work — workshops, hardware, network — is done in Belgium.

English, Dutch and French, for meetings and for documents.

Monday to Friday, 9:00–18:00 CET. A message gets a reply within three business days.

With discovery and planning: deep collaboration to understand your challenges, goals and constraints. Scope, architecture and success metrics are defined together. See how we work.

Every sprint. Regular demos and access to environments keep you informed, and you steer direction throughout.

They will. The approach is agile by design: changes go on the backlog and are weighed against what is already planned.

Yes. Project manager, business analyst and functional analyst are roles A4IT fills on their own, inside your team. See project management & analysis.

After discovery, for a scope we both understand, a fixed price can be agreed. Before anyone has looked at the problem, no.

With a readiness check: a few sessions with the people who do the work and a ranked shortlist of use cases with effort, running cost and risk. See AI consulting.

Which data goes to which model is decided and written down before a pilot starts. For data that may not leave the building, models run locally.

Yes, through retrieval: the model answers from your documents, shows its source and respects who may see what. See answers from your own knowledge.

No. We measure on a test set built from your own cases and you decide on that figure.

Because much of digital marketing is technical: a fast site, correct tracking, clean data and working integrations. The same people who advise can build it. See digital marketing.

No. Nobody controls a search engine or an auction. We agree what is measured and report it honestly.

You do. Advertising, analytics and email accounts are opened in your name; A4IT gets access as a user.

Both. The choice follows what you already run, what your people know and where the application is hosted. See software development.

Yes. Legacy integration is a specialty: modernising existing systems with seamless integration, including older platforms such as COBOL.

Where it fits best: Jelastic PaaS, Azure or your own servers. See cloud & PaaS.

Yes. Ongoing support keeps the solution serving the business after delivery.

The advice is vendor-neutral: we specify what fits and can supply and install it. See hardware & network.

UniFi is the standard for SME deployments: switches, access points and gateways managed from one place, with segmentation and monitoring.

No. Support is during office hours. If you need round-the-clock cover, a managed service provider is the better choice.
