Digital Expertise

In 2020, Elan Consulting expanded its expertise by integrating a crucial new skill: the digital transformation of SMEs. This initiative is led by Vincent, the founder's son and a digital expert, who joined the team to bring innovative and effective solutions. Vincent, certified by the Walloon region's Chèques Entreprise Numérique program, focuses on helping primarily small businesses (TPEs) but also SMEs digitize their internal processes. Through this transformation, companies can improve their performance and stay competitive in the market. TPEs also benefit from a subsidy for our digital expert's services, making this transition more accessible and affordable.
