Short-, mid-, and long-term cost reductions along with an increase in productivity of IT and business processes are the goal of our consulting services. In order to achieve this, also unconventional measures as well as innovative approaches are being taken.
Plan
The development of an IT strategy and consequent application portfolio management on basis of effective KPIs is the prerequisite of high value added and sustainable, cost-efficient running of IT.
Build
The costs spent for software development are high – oftentimes much too high. In every project team, there are unnecessary or inefficiently executed activities. Consequent removal of these losses increases productivity and decreases costs by 10%-50%.
Productivity Improvement
By introducing Lean Software Development, you are reducing your costs in software development and assure sustainable advantages in global competition. To achieve this, we support you with lean management methods that have long been used successfully in other industries.Productivity Governance
Productivity in software development is measurable! He help you to create transparency and lead IT projects and suppliers to increased efficiency and efficacy.
Run
Business-critical information systems are often further developed, maintained, and operated over decades. They constitute an enormous value for the business and contain extensive knowledge. With increased age, systems are susceptible to a loss of value due to a continuous decay of quality, manifesting in increasing costs and decreasing reliability. Oftentimes, such systems bind more than half of the IT budget through costs for error corrections, used resources, and operation personnel.
- Software Health Check
Prerequisite of sustainably successful and cost-effective dealing with complex software systems is the identification of economically relevant deficits. As part of a Software Health Check, itestra is carrying out an extensive analysis of a system and creates an integrated quality and cost-effectiveness profile of the system in question and its technical and organizational environment. From this profile, recommendations for an optimal use of future investments are being derived.
- Reengineering and Renovation
The key for optimizing the use of means lies in an improvement of technical quality. itestra supports its clients in conserving the value of their systems, in reducing its operational costs, and to increase the value added. - Performance Tuning
Performance deficits in software system cause additional spending for operations and use every year and prohibit the exploration of new business fields. Targeted performance optimization saves costs and ensures a long-term capability to innovate. - Migration
System migration in controllable single steps avoids the risk of a “big bang” displacement and offers already mid-term a positive ROI.
