Comprehensive help for users and developers of information systems
Whether you have a project or need help with your daily IT use, I can help.
Help for both development and use
Greetings,
I am Timo Lintunen, entrepreneur and consultant at Lintunen Consulting. Welcome to my website, where you can find out how I can help you with your information systems needs.
My company specialises in the acquisition of information systems and how to use them more efficiently. I also have extensive experience in the technical development work itself. In whole Finland and if needed, also abroad, I serve SMEs with a wide range of information systems and business development needs. My industry expertise is particularly in the retail and wholesale trade and in maintenance and repair services. I am also familiar with a variety of specialist companies, having myself worked as the head of IT for a specialist company, first in a software company and then in a consultancy.
As we know, information systems play a key role in the operation of very many of today’s businesses. I am a partner who serves the overall development needs of a company. In addition to the acquisition and development of information systems, I help to streamline business processes and implement development projects. I have extensive knowledge of applications commonly used by SMEs, such as Microsoft M365, its associated Sharepoint and the document management software M-Files, for which I have also been the main user. More recently, I have been trained as a Microsoft Azure administrator.
Flexible access to development services
My goal is to help companies get more out of ERP software as well as general office and support software, and to make business-critical systems work seamlessly, i.e. in an integrated way. I help my clients successfully deliver projects using best practices, including the use of Lean methods to streamline processes. Agile operations is also a typical goal for many companies, and I have also been trained in this area. I am a certified Scrum product owner, for example.
Sometimes the goal can also be to solve acute problems or to make M365 or SharePoint, for example, more efficient.
The approach is flexible and cost-effective. I agilely do what my clients’ needs require without massive start-up costs.
My background in brief
So my name is Timo Lintunen, I am the founder, and an entrepreneur.
Over the years I have received training in both commercial and technical fields, both of which I need for my work. I have a Master’s degree in Information Systems Science from a university. My areas of specialisation are information systems science and organisation and management. I have 24 years of experience as a software entrepreneur.
I founded this company in 2019 with the mission to help companies as an expert, without having to develop software myself. I serve end-users of information systems in a holistic way, with my main focus on consulting on enterprise software acquisition, related projects and improving the efficiency of software use.

Clear objectives first
I strive to approach my client’s information system needs as a whole, and understand their business objectives. This allows me to genuinely take into account what the business is ultimately looking for from the solution, and to help develop it from a total benefit perspective. Information technology must be seen as a tool to help implement strategy. A development project may be aimed, for example, at growing the business, improving profitability or introducing new methods. Of course, the impetus often comes from outside, such as from customers, suppliers or other networks. Sometimes, of course, it can also come from the fact that the development of existing software has stalled, or the life cycle is coming to an end.
Information systems should not be approached simply as a cost item, but as an investment for which it must be possible to calculate payback periods and returns. It is important to assess how the company would develop without the project under consideration and how a successfully implemented project or undertaking will affect this development. Doing nothing can sometimes be a costly choice.
I offer the following service products to meet the needs of my clients.

My service
Project consultancy
Our project consulting service helps your company to assess which information systems projects are worth implementing, to plan them, and to bring them to a successful conclusion. My experience includes over 100 development projects and numerous implementation projects. I also have experience of challenging projects from which I have been able to learn important lessons. I am also certified in the PRINCE2 model of project management. In addition, I hold the Agile Development Scrum PSPO certification.
Information management consultancy
I can provide consultancy to your company’s IT staff for development tasks, or if your company does not have IT staff, provide other IT assistance. In this case, I will familiarise myself with your company’s IT systems at an agreed level. I have a Lean IT certificate for development work.
My productised services in this area include
- IT-audit
- IT-analysis
- IT-pilot
Technical consultancy
Technical consultancy can help you with various aspects of requirements definition, technical design and integration.
If required, I can also help you with internal guidelines and process descriptions.
Procurement consultancy
As a procurement consultant, I will help you start by examining your current situation, defining your needs and clarifying your process.
Then, together, we can explore the options, evaluate them and determine the best solution. I will then assist you in the procurement process and in getting the new one up and running, until the end if necessary.
IT-coaching
I am a Certified Business Coach (CBC/BCI) and I specialise in coaching, especially for IT managers and experts. Coaching is a goal-oriented way of working, where we aim to discover and harness the full potential of the coachee, with the aim of leading change in IT projects and improving the performance of the IT organisation.
Ancillary services
When I help you develop your business through information systems, I can also offer other development assistance. Here I can draw on both my commercial training and my long experience as an entrepreneur. For example, the growth of a company can be one of the target topics. In my own experience, the software company where I was the chairman, increased it’s turnover for 18 consecutive years. I also did my graduate work on different IT growth strategies.
