Independent software advice for
small and mid-sized businesses
SEMANU helps small and mid-sized businesses sharpen software projects before contracts are signed, vendors are chosen or developers start building.
- No vendor commissions. No preferred vendor.
Software projects do not fail
because ambition was too low
They fail because scope, processes, requirements and decision criteria were not sharp enough before the buy or the build started. The vendor begins with assumptions that do not hold. The implementation partner runs into exceptions nobody named upfront. Budget doubles, planning slips twice and scope shifts mid-flight.
SEMANU removes that uncertainty before you start building or buying.

Independent means:
no hidden agenda
no commissions
SEMANU does not sell software and does not work on vendor commission. Our only role is helping you make the right decision.
We have no preference for SAP, Odoo, Dynamics, Salesforce or any other vendor.
We get no kickback when you choose vendor X over Y.
The advice you get is aimed at what your company needs. Not at what a vendor wants to sell.
