Standard software controlled
 
Reliable estimation of standard software works on its own rules. In contrast to individual software, the acquisition of standard software includes no development costs, directly. Thereby to guarantee the objective comparison with individual software, estimation methodologies have to map implementation, deployment as well as customizing/configuration of the customer processes.
 
Estimation of standard software, migration and effort for trainings
A mandatory step to for the reliable estimation of functional or functional across standard software is the systematic consideration of suitable scientific methods and models. To ensure meaningful results in the field of standard software, Cost Xpert has integrated and combined the success factors of all relevant areas. The systematic application of methods allows reliable estimations at each point in time about the implementation of standard software in addition with consequential migrations and the effort for user trainings.
 
Meaningful results definite to testing, verification, deployment as well as configuration, customizing or tailoring
The support of all scientifically published process models and de-facto industry standards up to the accurate mapping of customer specific process models enables the comprehensive support of each IT project or IT service. Therefore, IME enables the fast and sure determination of effort, time and resources including costs for standard software as well as detailed for the areas test, verification and deployment as well as configuration, customizing and tailoring of standard software. The systematic assessment creates detailed transparency about all requirements and change requests at any point of time in project
 
Reliable results for maintenance and support
Reliable results for maintenance and support shows the expansion of maintenance costs including the required resources until the timeframe of 20 years. Thereby, our customers achieve a solid basis for strengthen future-oriented product decisions and creates evaluation and reliability about all relevant factors at each point of time over the entire lifecycle. The achieved transparency ensures the objective comparison and assessment about the advantages of the application of standard or individual software and provides solutions to the following questions to our customers:
  • What is more favorable, die application of standard or individual software?
  • What is the impact of a single requirement or change request on effort, schedule, resources and costs?  
  • How will be estimated effort, schedule and costs for data migrations while development the target system?
  • How will be estimated effort, schedule and costs for the net data migrations?
  • What are the risks and what is their potential impact?
  • What is the training expenditure?
To put new standards with standardized procedures.
