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:

Complete transparency about all relevant factors

Our support starts with systematical analyses and categorization of requirements. Deduced from the process a complete Work-Breakdown-Structure (WBS) with all activities and dependencies as well as detailed project plan, time- and resource plan will be generated. Thereby, our customers obtain complete transparency in every phase to all rolls right up to single activities as well as all hard- and soft facts and their impact on effort, time, resources and cost. A funding plan enables optimization of cash-flow with complete transparency of cost. Potential risks and defects are shown transparent to development solution oriented risk mitigation and error prevention strategies. Details to the scope of documentation complete the performance portfolio of our methodology. Having knowledge about all relevant factors, an early and accurate identification of requirements and their characteristics for the efficient development and/or integration of IT applications is possible.
 

Solid and transparent basis of decision-making for optimal planning

Based on plans our customers are allowed the efficient staffing of resources and capital expenditure. Possibilities of simulation of different project scenarios and what-if-analyses offer a solid basis while minimizing risk because the effects of planning and decisions can be promptly recognized and optimally controlled before investment. Benchmarking of estimated IT projects (process, team, vendor, applications etc.) allows comparison of different varieties while purposeful analyses, e.g. solution of conflicts of objectives/conflicting goals, are shown. Based on results, this enables identification of measures to increase productivity and efficiency of projects. Furthermore, development of maintenance costs offers a basis for future-oriented product decisions.
 

Secure execution even with changing basic conditions

Ongoing monitoring of all activities and metrics for traceability associated with high flexibility creates a basis for the successful realization of all desired functions in high quality. 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 (change requests, requirements creep or changing in team staffing).
 

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.
