I advise small and medium-sized businesses on digitalisation, from the initial assessment through strategy to implementation. The result is a report with a sequence of measures that fits your business. Since 2024 I have carried out around 30 subsidised KMU.DIGITAL consultations, from trades businesses through retail to tourism. The federal programme has ended, the method remains. Funding now comes from the provinces.

Digitalisation consulting in Lower Austria: Bracharz Consulting in Wilhelmsburg advises SMEs across Austria, from the initial assessment to implementation. For data projects in Lower Austria there is currently digi4wirtschaft, and consulting is subsidised by TIP of the Lower Austrian Chamber of Commerce. Owner Rainer Bracharz has been consulting since 2011.
What the consulting covers
Initial assessment
A structured review: where does your business stand on processes, sales, data and IT, and where is the greatest potential?
Digitalisation strategy
In-depth consulting in the field of business models & processes: digital workflows, tools and CRM, AI in processes. The result is a documented report with a sequence of measures.
Funding check and application
We work out which programme in your province fits the project. If one does, I prepare the project description and documents with you before the project starts. Whether funding is granted is decided by the funding body.
Data projects for digi4wirtschaft
In Lower Austria the programme funds projects that make data usable. I set up the project so that the value of the data is clear in the application. Details on the digi4wirtschaft page.
Implementation support
On request I support implementation: gathering and comparing quotes, choosing tools, rolling out in the team.
Data protection built in
Every recommendation takes data protection into account. As a certified data protection manager I make sure no problems are built in that become expensive later.
Which province funds your project?
Two questions, one answer from the source. The check reads the manually verified entries of the funding overview and shows what the funding body of your province states for your kind of project, with the verification date. Nothing is stored or transmitted. The federal KMU.DIGITAL programme will not be continued from 2027, so the provinces are what remains.

Non-binding initial orientation, no legal or funding advice in the formal sense. No budget indicator is kept for the provincial schemes; the funding body's own guidelines are authoritative.
Name me as your preferred consultant.
The Technology and Innovation Partners (TIP) of the Lower Austrian Chamber of Commerce subsidise consulting. I have been registered in their consultant pool since 10 June 2014, consultant number 5944. Your company, as a member of the Chamber, registers the project with TIP and names me as its preferred consultant, and TIP then confirms eligibility. Funding schemes and maximum amounts are listed on the digi4wirtschaft page.
