The bridge between management/business and IT
You have a vague or clear idea of what needs to be optimized or implemented. But what exactly does it require (technically)? Are the developers speaking in riddles? Are the offers full of technical terms and impossible to compare? Do you get that uncomfortable feeling that the project is running into difficulties?
As a software mediator, I am a translator, concept developer, and quality controller all rolled into one. I help identify what is really needed, develop the optimal solution concept, and ensure that what was ordered is delivered.
My core services
- Concept development – the basis for project success
- Requirements analysis: Together, we determine what is necessary, sensible, and profitable.
- Solution design: I develop an optimal concept—technically reliable and economically viable.
- Specifications: The requirements are documented in a way that everyone understands the same.
- Procurement – The right partner at a fair price
- Inquiry: Comparable offers through precise communication
- Supplier evaluation: Who can really deliver? Where are hidden costs lurking?
- Contract drafting: Securing interests, minimizing risks
- Make-or-Buy: Standard software, customized solution, or hybrid?
- Implementation support – control without having to program yourself
- Translation: In both directions, so that everyone understands the same thing
- Quality assurance: Regular reviews before it’s too late
- Escalation management: If there’s a problem, I mediate
- Acceptance: Systematically checking that it’s delivered what was ordered
Who is it for?
Companies that want to have software developed or purchase software without the need to aquire their own IT expertise. Particularly valuable if the solution is business-critical.
Typical situations:
-
- “We need new software, but we’re not sure which one meets our needs.“
- “The systems don’t communicate with each other.“
- “Our employees have to type everything twice or copy it over.“
- “The project is running, but somehow not to the right direction.“
- “The software manufacturer expects us to adapt our process.“
Why does this work?
Since I only procure the software and do not develop it myself, I have no interest in making it as large and complicated as possible. I do not earn money by writing as many lines of code as possible or implementing as many buttons as possible. On the contrary, complicated solutions are prone to errors, incomprehensible, and rarely do what the customer needs. So I am interested in finding the simplest solutions possible, no matter how complex the problem may be.
And let’s be honest, simple solutions are just more fun for everyone!
