Detailed transparency over the real equivalent value
IME provides the ability to produce and justify reliable results about all relevant factors for any IT project – at any point in time. This assures detailed transparency over the real equivalent value of the services to be rendered or the IT product to be delivered. As a result, plausibility in regards to hard- and soft-facts is established, along with their impact on effort, schedule and cost. The resulting transparency facilitates systematic analyses and validation of any particular feature in regards to its actual contribution value. IME also provides the ability to verify the capabilities/validity of any IT product.
Solid basis for negotiations prior to making any investments
This level of plausibility creates an objective basis for comparison of proposals (options) and serves as a solid negotiation and decision making platform prior to making any investments. The knowledge about the impact of relevant factors facilitates strategic planning and argumentation based negotiations to optimize cost benefits. Active monitoring, such as the degree of delivery and its quality allows for detailed verification if one’s deliver partner performs as expected to assure successful realization of the project.
