System Software
System software is essential for running the implemented application software packages. It enables and controls their operation. When compared to application software, system software does not seem to provide a direct benefit, and yet it enables the engine and allows for the software programs to perform their functions.    
 
New development, modernization, complex migration and consolidation
Our expertise represents a reliable solution for all types of system software, e.g. operating systems and closed system software (closed hardware), e.g. data administration, middleware and embedded. This is why our solutions are not only focused on the implementation of new system software, but also support ongoing modernization and migration projects. When developing a standardized, cross-platform system, complex migrations and integrations are necessary along with the consolidation of localized systems into one, integrated, standardized solution. Of course, it is possible to estimate a major data migrations project on its own, if the target system already exists.
 
Planning security, transparency and the mitigation of risks
Our customers can arrive at exact values for effort, time, cost, required resources, potential risk, defects and documentation page count for their projects at any point in time or milestone. Plausability checks combined with comprehensive what-if analyses, simulation and objective results provide the basis for solid planning, decision making and answer the following questions:
  • What are the effort, schedule and cost for the development of system or embedded software?
  • Which system software is the most efficient?
  • What are the effort, schedule and costs for the migration?
  • What are the initial cost and cost for maintenance/operation?
  • What are the risks and what is their potential impact?
  • How reliable is an IT contractor/supplier, and their proposal, in terms of cost and delivery time?
Accurate results from feasibility to maintenance to operation
IME delivers reliable results for application management along the entire application lifecycle - from the feasibility/proposal phase to maintenance through end of life. Over time, our customers gain detailed transparency of maintenance and operational costs of their system software. This affords intelligent planning for all release packages and their respective release dates.

  Systematic application of appropriate methodologies affords the systematic and optimized application of software solutions.
