The Gap
Most small businesses are running on processes built for a world a decade behind.
Pricelists in Excel. Quotes built manually. Workflows that depend on one person knowing where everything is.
It's not that your team isn't capable. It's that their systems are making them smaller than they are.
The tools have changed. Your people haven't had the chance to catch up. That's the gap we close.

About

Open by design.

I've spent decades inside mid-sized manufacturing companies wearing more hats than most org charts allow — marketing, sales, product ownership, IT strategy. I know what it looks like when good people are slowed down by tools that were never built for how they actually work.

I started Open Communications because I kept seeing the same gap: the distance between what a business needs and what technology vendors were willing to build honestly and affordably.

I use AI in my work. I'll tell you when, how, and why. That's not a policy. It's just how I think communication should work.

Process

No black boxes.

01
We talk first, free.
You describe what's slowing you down. I tell you straight whether I can help — and whether you actually need me.
02
Fixed scope. Plain language.
No surprises. You know exactly what gets built, what it costs, and what you own at the end — before any work begins.
03
I build it. You watch.
Regular check-ins. Every decision explained. You understand what's being built and why.
04
You own it completely.
Hosted, documented, and yours. Update it, share it, use it — without ever calling me again. Unless you want to.
"I'll tell you what you actually need before I quote you anything."
Services

From static to smart.

01
From Static to Smart
Spreadsheets · PDFs · Catalogues · Forms
Turn your Excel pricelists, PDF catalogues, or paper forms into searchable, shareable smart web tools your team and customers can access anywhere.
02
Process to Portal
Quoting · Ordering · Scheduling · Approvals
Replace phone-tag quoting, email-chain approvals, or clipboard scheduling with a guided online system that gets the right answer without back-and-forth.
03
AI Where It Actually Helps
Honest Integration · No Hype · No Lock-in
Add AI to your existing tools — only where it saves real time or money. I'll tell you what it can't do before we start.
04
Capture What Your Experts Know
Knowledge Transfer · Succession · AI Training
Before your best people retire, encode their judgment into your systems. We document the expertise that lives in their heads — the shortcuts, the warnings, the "feel" for when something's off — and build it into tools your team can use long after they're gone.

Optional collaboration with leadership coach Inga Michaelsen

All projects include full documentation and a handover session. You will never be dependent on me to keep your tool running.
