Dear Client, dear Business-Partner,

After about 20 years of being a self-employed freelance-consultant I have decided to change sides!

I will end my own business by the end of this year 31.12.2025, becoming an employee of Cosmo Consult SE on 01.01.2026.

There I will lead a team focused on NAV/BC/SQL Performance optimization & troubleshooting.

Why am I ceasing my well running, established business?

Well, I know that I’m the undisputed champion in terms of NAV/BC/SQL Performance optimization (yeah, sounds pretty arrogant, but we all know that’s merely a fact 😉).

What I am currently doing I’m doing better than anyone else – but I see I’m getting “stalled” …

As a “one-man-army” it is very difficult for me to explore the upcoming challenges regarding SaaS/Cloud-Installations in all required depths.

The methods & tools I developed over the past decades are rock-solid and approved thousands of times, but modernization is necessary.

Research & development is time-consuming; time – and resources - I don’t have as freelancer.

Also, I’m not getting younger and I think it’s time to pass on all my knowledge and experience to a next generation of troubleshooters.

With Cosmo …

• We will be able to drive “BC/SQL Performance Tuning” to higher levels than I possibly could do alone!
• We will combine approved methods with fresh ideas, redesign the tooling and integrate new technologies!
• We will be better and more efficient than ever, being able to deal with performance issues from the past, present and future, regardless if on-prem or in-cloud!

Or in other words: New Day, Same Sh*t – but way more Se*y!

I am really thrilled and enthusiastic about these upcoming new tasks 😊

Attention!

Our services will be available for EVERYONE who wants them! I repeat: for EVERYONE! Regardless if you are a NAV/BC customer (not necessarily a Cosmo customer!) or Dynamics Partner or whoever; wherever you are.

So I’m not away – if you wish to benefit from our (formerly “my”) troubleshooting services, I AM STILL AVAILABLE FOR YOU – just the way of booking will change.

In Q1/2026 I will be available (partly) for my existing clients “to tie up any lose ends” if there are, helping you to close projects we have already started.

I am aware that this comes as a surprise or even shock for some of you, but this is a step I need to do.

What does this mean for you?

• You can book me directly (the old way) until 18.12.2025 – this will be my very last working day as a freelancer.
• Old existing customers have absolute priority above potential new ones! New clients can contact me then the “new way” from January 2026 on, through Cosmo; the exact organization is to be announced.
• All appointments that have already been scheduled for 2026 are CANCELLED herewith and have to be re-scheduled.
• If there are any aforementioned “lose ends” related to SSI we can tie them up until 26.03.2026 latest.
• From 01.04.2026 (latest!) “STRYK System Improvement” does not exist anymore.
• With the end of that legal entity “STRYK System Improvement”, all license agreements, quotes, orders, NDAs or any other agreements are NULLIFIED.

So I hope to see you “on the other side”, continuing (or starting) our successful cooperation to tackle NAV/BC/SQL performance issues!

Well, I can understand that maybe some of you don’t want to move on the “new way” and that “losing me” as a project partner may raise some inconveniences for you, which I would deeply regret.

So to all my clients who may say farewell to me now:

THANK YOU very much for your trust in me and my services, for all the great and successful sessions we had, all the ups and downs we have overcome in the past decades, all the projects we have started and finished together and – in some cases – thank you for your friendship.

Best regards,

Jörg Stryk
