Management Consulting in the IT Industry

Strategy, processes, organisation of IT departements with focus on Financial Services.

Business strategy for IT companies.

That's our focus. That's what we know. That's what we're good at.

Strategy Development and Business Planning

We advise IT and Software Companies on new business opportunities, we analyse markets and competitors, develop business plans and take on iterim management roles when required.

Among others, we have successfully supported make-or-buy decisions, spinoff and acquisition processes and due diligences during M&A activities.

We successfully raised Venture Capital for several founder teams and startups, and are acreddited coaches for two German venture capital funds (HighTech Gründerfonds and BayernKapital).

Organisational and Process Consulting

We help our clients to optimize the alignment of their IT organisation and IT processes.

Our focus is - next to support and operating processes - the delivery process within the IT: Project Management, Program Management and IT Portfolio management.

Project, Program and Portfolio Management

We advise and support IT organizations in terms of

  • Project Management,
  • Program Management (as an orchestrated group of projects) and
  • Portfolio Management (as only loosely coupled group of projects or programs).

Here we act either as methodology consultants, as individual coaches for project or program managers or take over operational responsibility within programs and projects.

Our consultants have both extensive IT expertise and many years of management experience in the IT industry.
