Industry-independent consulting
The world is constantly changing. Business areas are reorganised, companies are acquired, IT service providers change regularly and budgets change just as much as the demands on IT departments. Current strategies such as ‘IT business alignment’, ‘IT rightsising’ and ‘increasing core performance’ must be implemented in projects. We advise project teams and IT departments on which technologies and methods are required for this. We do not stop at high-level strategy consulting, but ensure that the expertise also reaches the working level.
Transparent project status even in difficult situations: Risk management is at the centre of our consulting services. Our team has maintained a well-structured questionnaire for years, which we use to determine with you which areas are most important to you. Depending on the focal points and project circumstances, we then recommend a combination of different content-related and formal tools. We use these in a targeted manner so that you receive the necessary transparency for your decisions. We also recommend the measures that we believe are necessary in a prioritised catalogue.
Perfection is when you can't leave anything out: Lean IT, lean software development, kaizen, empowerment, the Deming management model - there are many approaches and buzzwords that all have one goal: Efficiency. In times of ever tighter IT budgets, the implementation of such strategies has become an economic necessity. The consultants at msg use a process model that has been used successfully many times with the following steps:
- Efficient collaboration between all project participants
- Carry out a customised requirements analysis
- Check architecture and technology selection
Our training and education programme includes over 30 training courses in the areas of methodology and technology, which are also offered as individual training courses for project teams and departments. The advantage: the scope and content of team training courses are customised precisely to your needs, e.g. to address specific requirements from your project. This enables us to work with you to achieve highly effective and cost-efficient knowledge transfer. Our training programme includes
- Project management essentials for key players
- Procedure in IT projects: an overview for SAP or customised projects
- Requirements analysis: documenting use cases correctly
- Test management, test methodology and test automation
- Business process automation
- Estimation methodology: estimating costs correctly
- JEE training, e.g. architecture, EAI, JEE, JPA, RCP
- SAP training, e.g. Java development under SAP, SAP Web Dynpro for ABAP or Java
- Increasing efficiency through code quality
- IT security in software development
There are many reasons to carry out an audit or review in a project. Do you want to change service providers or do you want to know whether your software is state-of-the-art? Do you want to know whether your software is maintainable and future-proof? We can answer these questions for you. However, we do not limit ourselves to downstream, reactive measures. On the contrary: we help you to handle your IT projects to a high standard right from the start.
