Individual solutions through individual software
 
There are different reasons why companies decide for the application of individual software. The added value is frequently motivated by the customized solution, which may lead to accept higher costs. If we consider the latest figures from the Standish-Group there will be shown that individual solutions can not always have the desired synergy effects.
 
Transparent basis for planning and decisions
The objective of our methodology driven support is the creation of a transparent basis for planning and decision-making including efficient realization of beneficially applications, thereby, the IT performance concurs to performance and economics of the company. The achieved transparency causes qualified communication between all project participants and enables the objective evaluation of standard software versus individual software. The objective is an integrated solution to realize individual business objectives through efficient IT management.
 
Constant cost transparency and planning security
Reliable results of effort, time, resources and costs including potential risks and defects provide constant transparency of all relevant factors over the entire lifecycle at any point in time. This ensures planning security including exact traceability.
 
Optimization of planning and risk minimization
Our customers achieve a secure basis for decisions for planning optimization combined with comprehensive analysis and benchmarking while having IT and finance risks reduced. Furthermore, the support of proximate 800 technologies, IDEs, frameworks and macros allows the comparison/benchmarking of their efficiency to asses their productivity.
 
Estimation of maintenance costs and potential defects
The illustration of maintenance or operating costs of an application at a period of time up to 20 years provides future oriented decisions. Furthermore enables the identification and distinction of potential defects (requirements, design, coding, docs, bad fixes) preventive measures to avoid defects for sustainable quality improvements.
 
Systematic application of methods offers solutions to following questions:
  • What is more efficient/better: standard or individual software?
  • What are the pure development costs and the total costs?
  • Which is the most beneficial realization opportunity?
  • How can costs be reduced?
  • How is the earned value of the IT-investment or single features?
  • How many mistakes emerge at the development phase and at release?
  • How high are the costs for maintenance and service (operating costs)?
Individual business objectives realize through efficient IT management.
