Platform ecosystems
Digital biotopes
Platform ecosystems are playing an increasingly central role in companies' digitalization strategies. They bring producers and consumers together via the internet and enable new types of business models. In order for new ecosystems to emerge and grow, the platforms must have specific characteristics and capabilities that distinguish them significantly from conventional platforms.
User Experience
Success factor of the digital transformation
Nowadays, neither users nor customers accept complicated software. What has long determined success or failure in the consumer sector has now also arrived in the business sector: The user experience is considered a success factor for software and services.
Client-Directed Queries
Universal data interface
SOAP or REST architectures quickly reach their limits. Better: The Client-Directed Query approach, which enables a generic connection of different clients to the same backend. The clients can be defined at any time, several data requests can be combined into a single one and the client itself decides on the granularity of the data.
Machine Learning
Data-based decisions
Machine learning maximizes the field of previously known software solutions. Decisions are no longer made solely on the basis of fixed rules, but also on the basis of fuzzy and unstructured data. This requires a learning and pattern recognition process.
Design Thinking
Think like an inventor
Design thinking is a systematic approach to user-centered innovation in complex problem areas. The methods from an inventor's toolbox help to generate as many innovative solutions as possible for complex and unclear problems in the shortest possible time. Two principles are followed: a user-centered approach and interdisciplinary work.
