Projects efficiently realized
IME provides reliable, reasonable estimations of effort, time, resources and costs as well as potential risks, defects and documentation page count at any point in time along the entire application lifecycle. This allows a comprehensive support in the area of multi-project management – from the proposal-phase to maintenance right up to end of life.

With our methodical support our customers obtain solutions for:

Requirements- and change management securely managed
The systematically analyses and categorization of requirements provides complete transparency of all hard and soft facts including their impact on effort, time, resources and costs. Creation of baselines at any point of time in project secure further estimations with high saving of time and resources despite of rising complexity and changing requirements.


Secure project planning – optimization – execution and successful completion
IME supports the logical structuring of IT projects and enables the illustration of any program, portfolio and project structures. Deduced from the process there will be a continuous work-breakdown-structure (WBS) generated with all activities and dependencies including detailed project plans, time and resource plans. A funding plan provides the optimization of cash-flow with continuous cost transparency in every phase over all roles up to single activities. Information of the page count for documentation complete the portfolio of our method to the top.

Effective resource management
Our customers get based on the plans detailed illustration of the required resources with associated peaks and capacity displays. This ensures the deduction of the minimal, maximal and optimal application of resources and enables our customers demand oriented staffing even in multi project management environments.

Quality improved and risk minimized
To develop accurate solution oriented risk mitigation and error prevention strategies potential risks and defects will be exactly mapped. The knowledge of all relevant factors enables an early and exact identification of requirements and their characteristics for the efficient development and/or integration of beneficial applications.

Qualified communication
The provision of consistent and transparent data including the generation of clear reports, graphs and tailored presentations supports the qualified communication and information management. The replicable results combined with complete transparency ensure an objective basis for discussions and decisions.

Traceability and controlling
Complete transparency through exact assignment of costs to all phases, roles and single activities enable the accurate illustration of initial, maintenance and operation costs. Constant monitoring of all activities and metrics for a traceability combined with high flexibility creates the basis for a successful implementation of all desired functions in high quality.

 
Planning security and planning optimization
The possibilities to simulate different project scenarios and what-if analysis provide a solid basis while having risks minimized, because the impact of planning and decisions can be recognized and controlled optimal before investment. The benchmarking of estimated projects (process, team, supplier, application etc.) provides the comparison of different variants, while target oriented analysis e.g. show a quick solution for conflict of goals. This enables based on the results a deduction of activities to increase productivity and efficiency of a project. Furthermore provides the development of maintenance costs a basis for future oriented product decisions.
 
Sustainable realization in »time&budget«
Our expertise ensures the initial and further estimation with reliable results. The result is the significant shortening of the estimation process while increasing estimation accuracy with high saving of time and resources. This assures prompt and customer-oriented actions in dynamically changing markets.
