Analyses and Benchmarking as a basis for economic actions
Benchmarking
Make-or-buy decisions
Feasibility analyses
GAP-analyses
Risk, tolerance threshold and sensitivity analyses
Cost and earned value analyses
Causal and correlation analyses
Meaningful results from analyses and benchmarking are an important basis for sensible economic actions. Short innovation cycles, rising complexity and technology variations make qualified statements more difficult in the area of IT applications.
An essential objective of our expertise is the creation of a solid decision basis for the optimal planning and effective application of technologies, resources and budget as well as the purposeful realization of IT projects in »time&budget«.
Systematic application of methods creates a solid basis to questions of our customers before project start:
-
How can bad decisions and risks be minimized for IT applications?
-
How can security in planning be achieved, while also being optimized?
-
What impact have scheduled measures on project activities and the entire project?
-
How can it be ensured, that IT applications will beneficial contribute their part in the realization of cost savings and further competitive advantages?
-
Is it even possible to realize the project and if yes, what is the most effective way to realize it?
What-if-analyses and simulations
What-if-analyses and simulations of different scenarios at any point of time identify transparent how the project scope is affected once requirements change. This allows optimized planning and the solution of conflicting objectives (e.g. minimal time/minimal costs).
Benchmarking
Benchmarking of teams, applications, technologies, backfire-values, process models and factor of production identify opportunities of growths and cost saving potentials along the value added chain as well as purposeful due diligence assessments.
Make-or-buy decisions
The simulation of different scenarios ensures transparency in determination of break-even-points and provides a solid basis for economic make-or-buy decisions.
Outsourcing
The comprehensible determination of target costs creates detailed transparency and evaluation to realize cost saving potentials in the field of near-shore and off-shore und ensures objective comparison of proposals. This supports benefical lift and shift strategies.
Feasibility analyses
Complete transparency concerning all hard and soft facts as well as the corresponding impact on effort, time and costs already at project start allows for the objective assessment to determine how an IT application could be successfully realized and/or whether is it even possible at all.
GAP-analyses
GAP-analyses identify strategic and operative weak points. This is also possible for quantified scopes of firm-specific objectives (e.g. ROI, turnover and profit).
Risk, tolerance threshold and sensitivity analyses
Risk, tolerance threshold and sensitivity analyses with representation of impact on time and budget allow the purposeful development of risk minimization strategies.
Cost and earned value analyses
Constant transparency about all project scope allows the determination of concrete earned value of applications. Above, the support of 800 technologies/IDEs/frameworks allows the comparison and evaluation of their efficiency.
Earned Value Analysis (EVA)
Comprehensive project plans and key figures about the schedule and costs situation provide detailed traceability over the performance including progress at each point in time of the project.
Trend analyses
Trend analyses identify how relevant project scopes are affected once requirements change over desired period (e.g. effort, time, costs).
Causal and correlation analyses
Cause and effect of hard and soft facts as well as metrics for different project situations, applications, architecture concept and design approaches were represent transparency through correlation analyses (Balanced Scorecard).
The results from analyses are a substantial milestone to realize projects successfully.
