Who we are

SMC Consulting was founded in 2006 and is based in Braine-le-Château, in Walloon Brabant near Brussels. IT service management is where we started and what we do: we advise IT teams, implement and migrate their ITSM tools, and improve the way their service desk works. Our consultants work across Belgium, Luxembourg and France, and we have also delivered projects in Switzerland.

400 projects since 2006; 180 of them ITSM implementations. More than 220 clients have worked with us, from banks and insurers to Brussels Airport and Proximus: see our clients.

The work is done by senior consultants, all of them ITIL v4 certified consultants. We do not hand your project to a third-party subcontractor.

For an overview of what we do today, see the SMC Consulting home page.

A word from our founder

In more than thirty years of IT projects, I have learned that trust is not declared. It is earned, one project at a time. We have never exceeded a client's budget, and that is a choice my team and I make every day.

What makes me proudest is not a number. It is the IT manager who calls us six months after go-live to say their team works differently now: fewer fires, fewer escalations, more time for what matters. That is what we work for on every ITSM project.

We bring AI into service management only where it makes a measurable difference. That is why we partner with AurionAI, an AI helpdesk for IT support that we connect to our clients' ITSM. The promise has not changed since day one: on time, on budget, and we stay until it is right.

Our method, step by step

Our advice is independent. If you choose HaloITSM, we can also supply the licences as its certified partner, and we tell you so up front.

  1. Free 30-minute audit

    A senior consultant takes stock with you: support organisation, volumes, tools, main friction points and goals. You leave with a maturity score and your three priorities.

  2. In-depth diagnosis in two weeks

    Your processes, ticket data, governance and how your teams really use the tool, analysed and turned into a prioritised action plan.

  3. Prioritised, costed roadmap

    Quick wins and structural workstreams, with a realistic budget and schedule, validated with your IT management.

  4. Execution with your teams

    Our consultants lead or reinforce the workstreams: ITIL v4 processes, tool configuration, change management and training.

  5. Results measured at six months

    The indicators set at the start are measured again: backlog, resolution times, user satisfaction and adoption.
