Augsburg, October 27, 2011 – Cost Xpert Tool Suite convincing with facelift and innovative features

The new version of the Cost Xpert Tool Suite impresses with versatile customer- and practice-oriented features and new services. The market leader for methodology-driven estimation sets new benchmarks in the field of IT industrialization and brings about continuous transparency and active controlling for the optimization of your IT along the entire value chain – just like in factory production. The goal is a holistic support from business and IT processes to the lasting efficiency increase of enterprises. ”suCXess“ appears as a web-based application in the first quarter of 2012.
 
Latest web technologies
Innovation is an important guiding idea of Cost Xpert, which is continuously being reflected in the new web application “suCXess”. The latest technologies and an intelligent architectural concept ensure not only the runability in Cloud Computing and in a virtual environment, but also offer comprehensive comfort features combined with maximum flexibility. For instance, in the field of usability, the latest technologies allow an individually customizable user interface, displaying the customers’ corporate design. Moreover, there are features like content-sensitive menu navigation, which rules out input errors.
 
Simple handling even for globally acting enterprises
In addition, the requirements of globally acting enterprises are also factored in. Features like e.g. Multi Currency, Multi Language and Multi Repository including country differentiation facilitate the cooperation among international subsidiaries. Furthermore, an individually adjustable tree structure guarantees the detailed mapping, administration and organization of individual projects to multi-project environments up to program and release management. One of the highlights is the mapping of roles existing in practice, which makes a consideration up to the individual staff member possible. Combined with features like Groupware/Collaboration, this e.g. allows a dynamic, company-wide capacity planning.
 
Mapping of services and business processes
The mapping of services and business processes is a substantial customer requirement. Also in this area, the integrated platform with more than 200 methods and models also leaves almost nothing to be desired. Thus, reliable results are established for service and performance catalogues as well as for any IT projects. Moreover, besides extensive development processes, e.g. transformation and transition processes as well as delivery processes are supported. In connection with Cost Xpert’s professional consulting services, “suCXess” renders a continuous industrialization of IT possible and sets an important milestone for the innovative company.
