AI, software & process improvement
Better software and better processes, built with the people who use them.
I am Marcin Nowacki, a consultant for software development and for improving the way companies work internally. I help small and medium-sized businesses put AI to work, build the tools they need, remove what slows them down, and check with numbers whether a change really helped.
Services
From the first idea to a change that sticks.
For small and medium-sized businesses that want to work smarter without a large IT department.
AI in your business
I find where AI saves you real time, for example with customer questions, documents or emails, and set it up so it works with your own data, safely and in line with data protection rules.
Custom applications and websites
Applications tailored to your processes, planned with the people who will use them and connected to the systems you already have. And modern websites that work well on every phone. JSandP shows what such an application can look like.
Process improvement
Together with your teams I look at how work really flows, find where time and motivation get lost, remove manual steps, automate repetitive tasks and introduce changes in small steps.
Measurable results
Every change gets a way to see its effect. Regular, short measurements show what works and what does not, instead of a survey once a year.
About me
25 years of software, from the code to the way teams work.
I studied computer science in Gdańsk and added an international MBA in Warsaw. Since 2001 I have worked in Germany for large technology companies: as a developer, project manager, requirements manager and agile coach. That is the mix I bring to every project: I can build the software myself, and I know how the teams around it work.

Example: JSandP On-Premise
Job satisfaction and productivity, measured on your own servers.
JSandP measures job satisfaction and productivity in short rounds, pairs colleagues for 1:1 talks and lets teams decide together what to improve. The on-premise edition runs on servers you choose, so your team's answers and ideas never leave your company, and you get the full source code.
JSandP is one example of the applications I build and introduce in companies. I adapt it to your needs, or I propose and build any other application you need and set up the processes around it.
Why on-premise
Some answers are too honest for someone else's server.
People only tell you what slows them down when they trust where their words go. Ratings, ideas and peer recognition are sensitive. On-premise, none of it leaves your infrastructure.
Data stays with you
Ratings, ideas and votes are stored only in your own database. I have no access unless you give it to me.
Your company login
Employees sign in with their company email and password through your directory (LDAP or Active Directory). No separate accounts to manage.
Your code to change
You receive the complete source code. Adapt texts, questions or emails, or connect it to your own tools.
Where it runs
You choose the server.
In your data center
On a server inside your company network, run by your own IT.
In your cloud
In your account with the cloud provider and region you choose, for example in the EU.
With a provider you name
On a server operated by your hosting partner or IT service provider.
The offer
One price. Everything you need to run it yourself.
No subscription: you pay once, by the size of your company, and JSandP is yours to run for as many teams as you like.
- Talk. We clarify your requirements and where JSandP should run.
- Install. I set up JSandP on your server together with your IT and connect it to your company login.
- Train. I train the people who organize teams and the people who operate the server.
- Test for 30 days. If JSandP does not meet your expectations, you get the full price back.
- Hand over. After the 30 days you receive the source code and the documentation for operation and updates.

Frequently asked questions
What do you need from us for the installation?
A Linux server (a virtual machine is fine) with about 2 CPU cores, 4 GB of memory and 20 GB of disk space, access for the installation, an email account the application can send from, and, for the company login, a read-only account in your directory. I take care of the rest together with your IT.
How do employees sign in?
With their company email address and password, checked against your directory (LDAP or Active Directory). There is no registration and no separate password. Without a directory, JSandP can also manage its own accounts.
Can we change the source code?
Yes. After the 30-day guarantee period you receive the complete source code and may change it for use within your company.
Does any data reach Top Advisory?
No. JSandP On-Premise does not send data to me. I only see something if you give me access, for example for support.
Can we try JSandP first?
Yes. You can create a team in the hosted version at jsandp.com and see how it works for your team before deciding.
Is there a running fee?
No. The price is one-time. If you would like help later, for example with an update or a change, it is billed at the consulting rate of €120 per hour, plus VAT.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, two. JSandP On-Premise: within 30 days of the installation you can withdraw without giving a reason and get the full licence price back. You then delete the software and confirm this in writing; that is why you receive the source code only after these 30 days. Consulting: if you are not satisfied after the first consulting day of our work together, you pay nothing for that day.
Do you also take on other software or process projects?
Yes. JSandP is just one example of the applications I build; most projects start with a conversation about what slows your teams down. Write to me and we will find out whether I can help.
Let's talk about your teams.
Write to me with a few words about your company and what you would like to improve, or where JSandP should run. I will get back to you. The first conversation is free.
