We will work with you to operationalise your new strategy with concrete measures for the operating model. For example, we will help you to structure your Enterprise Architecture Model (EAM) and advise you on all issues relating to IT sourcing and IT governance.

    Digital experience consulting 

    Aligning and developing digital products, processes and services in a sustainable and people-centred way, establishing a common understanding for users as a key factor in the project context: we develop strategies for a consistent user experience (UX) and work with you on design options to break down technical barriers and optimise digital experiences.

    Business process transformation 

    We identify optimisation potential in your business processes and work with you to create efficient and effective processes through digitalisation and automation. Taking this as our basis, we then support you in optimising your operational structure.

    IT Programme & Project Management  

     Achieve your goals faster in strategic and complex IT projects and programmes: With our many years of project management expertise, we take on responsibility from the preliminary study through the initiation phase to implementation. In the process, we get critical projects back on track and take over the overall control and structuring of your IT project portfolio for you. 

    Digital Solution Consulting

    Our solution design includes the creation of technical solution concepts from the clarification of requirements to the requirements elicitation. In agile preliminary study design, we manage preliminary studies and create the basis for agile development. We also advise you on IT sourcing and tender management, carry out market analyses and support the introduction of new services and software.
