Software development

For some application needs, heavy custom software development is not an adequate solution. The organisational effort is often too high, the necessary project durations are too long, and the costs do not always speak for an acceptable business benefit.

In such cases, pragmatically implemented office applications are often a suitable way of implementing solutions within the existing IT landscape, which are available promptly and are often developed with the direct cooperation of users in the specialist departments.

These are usually Microsoft Word, Excel or Access applications. However, it is becoming increasingly apparent that these are not necessarily isolated applications. Rather, SharePoint offers a suitable basis for providing a cross-application runtime environment, e.g. for Access applications. Our own framework additionally allows us to offer mechanisms of application lifecycle management within the framework of an access solution.

Thanks to open APIs, our project experience also shows that Outlook has now established itself as the central control platform for Office applications. In addition to the integration of Word and Excel, the connection of Lync, SharePoint and Microsoft Dynamics™ CRM in particular are future-oriented possibilities.

Modern databases are more than mere storage locations for structured data. Whether reporting, business intelligence or the development of comprehensive business applications: these scenarios can be efficiently implemented on the basis of current database systems.

Our diverse project experience shows a broad spectrum of expertise for already implemented use cases. In accordance with our guiding principles, we provide vendor-neutral technological advice across the entire spectrum of possible implementation platforms. For the realisation of database developments we can fall back on experience with various systems. Of course, Microsoft's SQL server and Oracle databases are solid foundations for various projects. But we have also successfully used IBM DB2, Informix, IMS-DB as well as classic ISAM and VSAM databases in projects.

In order to incorporate our many years of experience into new projects, we have developed an ETL framework that can be reused regardless of the application context. Very mature programming guidelines and naming conventions have also proven themselves in everyday project work and have led to increased efficiency in many ways.

Customer orientation
The focus of our activities is the benefit for our customers. In every single project, the aim is to create added value for our customers. In the long-term partnerships that we maintain with our customers, we strive to support them so effectively that they will continue to be successful in the market in the future.

The linchpin of our project work is therefore always the objective of our customer. The goal for us is to strengthen him as a partner in the project.

Cooperation and partnership
In long-term customer relationships we strive to achieve more than just successful project implementation. In close cooperation with our customers we cultivate the partnership beyond the individual project.

If possible, we also look for physical proximity by selecting a suitable location. Short distances thus create space for flexible cooperation and enable us to support our customers even after the end of the project.

Technical qualification
Our key to success is the understanding of technical interrelationships. Mastering the technologies for implementation is a matter of course for us.

In order to guarantee the process know-how required in each case, we use specialist experts for our customer projects wherever possible. Their knowledge is deepened and constantly expanded through needs-based training and certification in the longest possible customer relationships.

Structured approach
We have documented and processed our experience from decades of practical experience in a project manual. Based on this wealth of experience, we always adapt our approach to the respective project situation. The diversity of the experience we have gained enables us to adopt a structured approach both in traditionally organised projects and in an agile environment.

Our use of proven methods and creativity appropriate to the environment results in a combination that leads to project success.
