About

Hi! I am Raoul, the founder of World-wize, a group of senior tech professionals who help you drive your operating model forward.

We have several decades of collective experience in 3 areas:

Integrating core existing systems with new open source and proprietary software.
Enabling rapid expansion phases (new products or services) where technology is a key component.
Planning and managing complete system rebuilds and replacing legacy systems.

We work mostly in fintech, communications, education, as well as manufacturing and distribution. We like responsible organisations with a strong purpose.

Notable Clients

How can we work together?

We work in long-term engagements (12 to 36 months) built on trust and mutual respect.

We typically start off with a 4-week, low risk, fixed-fee diagnostic engagement during which help determine in detail what you need and how we can help.

Some Comments on Artificial Intelligence

The technology industry is being both disrupted and enabled by LLM-based AI.

The individual productivity use case is now proven, while long-range autonomous action and decision making is still a risk.

In software, most leaders now think that the cost of building software products has reduced 90%. Actual cost savings are about 50%, but it has also spread the cost forward, allowing you to build and launch an initial viable product quickly and cheaply.

The best teams and individuals are able to do many times as much, but charlatans are also able to hide their incompetence for longer.

AI may allow us to make huge strides in many difficult problems like systemic wastage, crippling bureaucracy and corruption.

For you: Start experimentation in selected areas in your own environment as soon as possible, and do not roll out to the entire organisation unless you have evidence of benefit.
