What our customers say
Two Bologna businesses explain, in their own words, how working with DE.MI. Consulting has changed their day-to-day operations.
Carrozzeria Zoccadelli Bologna Srl
“We keep asking ourselves why we did not do this sooner. Everything now runs like clockwork, and the rare problems are always resolved promptly and with great care.”
Hi, I am Stefano, one of the partners at Zoccadelli. We chose DE.MI.'s services in three areas: hardware and systems, replacing Windows 10 with Linux; s@tXrkm for mileage reimbursements; and finally GAzie for accounting.
For the first of these, we had some Windows 10 PCs in the workshop and had always had minor problems managing our infrastructure: small things, but annoying. Printing would not start, updates would disable one feature or another, it was hard to manage email with a single app we liked, and Google's cloud services needed rethinking and reconfiguring.
We asked DE.MI. whether they had a solution that would also include our estimating software, which only runs on Windows. They suggested moving the two office PCs to Linux and keeping one already compatible Windows 11 PC to run the estimating software, connected to both Linux PCs via remote desktop. For email, they suggested Thunderbird, which met our needs.
Said and done. Within two days they had replaced Windows and connected the estimating software. Email is configured with our accounts on every workstation and Google's cloud services are finally properly integrated. If necessary, I can also work from home.
A few months later, we keep asking ourselves why we did not do this sooner: everything now runs like clockwork, and the rare problems have always been resolved promptly and with great care. We are very satisfied. At first we were a little apprehensive about the change, but the chosen Linux version, Linux Mint, is actually very similar to Windows, and the transition felt natural for everyone.
Tecno Felsinea Srl
“Having employees submit their hours directly saves us a full working day every month.”
Hi, I am Marika, a partner at Tecno Felsinea Srl. In our case, DE.MI.'s work has always been extensive, partly because one of our partners is also a partner at DE.MI. As a result, for years we have naturally worked on Linux machines in much the same way as Windows: we had already adopted LibreOffice on Windows, so the change was painless.
For email, although we liked eM Client on Windows, unfortunately it was not available for Linux, so they directed us towards Thunderbird. In the end it compares well and gives us the results we expected. For cloud storage, they are moving us from Google Cloud to Nextcloud on a server belonging to our company, which we really like for its speed, stability and security. We have used GAzie for accounting for years, without problems.
The most important project, however, is the creation of s@tXpulizie, which began three years ago and has been gradually adopted across all its areas for about a year. One figure says it all: having employees submit their hours directly saves us a full working day every month. Not to mention fewer errors and therefore fewer potential disputes with employees.
Sick leave notifications via WhatsApp and holiday requests: everything has become easier. The integrated calendar completes the picture and nothing gets lost any more, from a simple request for a DURC compliance certificate to downloading company registration extracts when due, from sending hours to payroll to arranging cover. Everything is under control. DE.MI. put it well in their slogan: your control centre.
