About Bouwhuis IT
The senior troubleshooter you call when others have given up.
The "I've seen this 100 times" expert
I often get called when another consultant has already tried and given up — especially with Asterisk, replication issues, or complex network problems.
This isn't first-line support. This is the calm forensic engineer who isolates the problem, finds the root cause, and fixes it. Years of hands-on experience in production: from datacenter networks to multi-tenant VoIP platforms, from crash recovery to BGP peering setups.
No theoretical certificates. No "we have a tool for that" solutions. Deep understanding of how infrastructure works, and how to keep it reliable.
Why independent?
Most IT consultants are tied to vendors, frameworks, or specific platforms. That creates inherent conflicts of interest: is this solution really best for your situation, or is it the solution the consultant happens to sell?
Bouwhuis IT has no partnerships, no reseller agreements, no commission structures. The only agenda here is: what works best for your infrastructure challenge?
Sometimes that's open source. Sometimes commercial. Sometimes on-premise. Sometimes cloud. The right choice depends on context, not what a vendor dashboard shows.
Who is this for?
SMB & Startups: You have an IT manager or sysadmin who's capable, but stuck on a specific problem that requires specialist knowledge.
IT Companies & MSPs: You're stuck on a BGP issue, or a client asks for VoIP expertise you don't have in-house. This is the person you call.
Tech Teams: You want a second opinion on your infrastructure design, or help with a complex issue your team doesn't have time for.

Direct & transparent
No corporate buzzwords. No vague timelines. If something can't be done, or doesn't make sense, you'll hear it directly.
Technically focused
Focus is on infrastructure that works and is maintainable. Not on slides, not on dashboards.
Pragmatic
Perfect is the enemy of done. Solutions need to work in the real world, with real budgets.
Knowledge transfer
The goal isn't creating dependency. Your team learns how things work, documentation gets written.
