What CI Solutions does

CI Solutions is a German sole proprietorship (Einzelunternehmen) operated by Dipl.-Wirtsch.-Ing. Michael A. Martens, registered at Wulfswall 4, 26125 Oldenburg, Germany. The company offers three discrete service lines out of a single address: (1) PC Service & Notdienst, providing on-site and remote computer repair, upgrades (including Windows 7/8/8.1 to Windows 10 migration), backup software setup, and emergency support; (2) MQL Programmierung, providing custom MetaTrader 4 programming services such as Expert Advisors, custom indicators, scripts, backtesting, portfolio optimization, and VPS setup; and (3) Webdesign, providing website design for small businesses and private individuals at a price/performance-oriented positioning.

The underlying technology stack is deliberately narrow and skills-driven rather than productized: MQL4 source code generation for the MetaTrader 4 platform, conventional web design (HTML/CSS, portfolio-based), and standard PC support tooling including remote maintenance (Fernwartung). There is no proprietary platform, no hosted SaaS product, no API surface, no mobile app, and no third-party integrations disclosed. The portfolio page lists six completed web design projects across unrelated verticals (FOREX commentary, construction expert witness, mental health practice and coaching, UK accounting, and plotter art), which serve primarily as case studies rather than enterprise reference customers.

The business model is professional services on a quote-based, pay-as-you-go basis, with no published rate cards and no tiered pricing. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer and direct-to-SMB, relying on a personal contact model via phone (also WhatsApp/Telegram), email, and Skype, supplemented by a portfolio-style website and word-of-mouth referrals in the Ammerland region (Oldenburg, Bad Zwischenahn, Rastede, Westerstede, Wiefelstede, Apen). The firm has no external funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries, no patents or trademarks, no partnerships, and operates with a stated headcount of one, making it a lifestyle micro-business rather than a scalable services firm.
