Solutions
Solution-orientated.Open to all topics.
For us, solutions are more than just the completion of a consulting or implementation assignment.
Solutions can be transferred and used multiple times.
Our fixed-price services and our implementation model are the result of our solution forge.
SOLUTION = METHODOLOGY + CONSULTING + IMPLEMENTATION
The challenge, and at the same time one of our strengths, lies in the area of methodology.
This is where we develop concepts, best practice approaches and – if the corresponding products are lacking – the necessary tools. We then supplement the methodology with consulting and / or implementation services to create a solution that can be realised by our customers.
We are convinced that good solutions can and should ultimately be converted into products. For this reason, we approach well-known product manufacturers and offer our solutions as part of our services. However, our solutions can also be operationalised and used without product implementation.
Examples of this are our solutions for the third pillar / third mission or the LOM.
Our solutions actively and positively differentiate us as a consulting and implementation service provider from other consulting and service companies. This is another reason why we invest in solutions that we consider to be effective and beneficial, including in terms of personnel. Continuously.
Are your FIS operations running smoothly?
You have implemented an FIS and have been operating it for some time.
Changing internal and external boundary conditions constantly present your system with new challenges.
- Are you satisfied with your FIS implementation?
- Have you achieved all the goals you originally pursued with the FIS implementation?
- Do you have a strategy to support future use cases with your FIS?
- How satisfied are your FIS users, is your FIS being used?
- Are you satisfied with your FIS?
- Is your FIS integrated into your IT infrastructure?
- Do you know the full potential of your FIS and do you want to utilise it?
Commission an independent expert review of your FIS to scrutinise its use and operation.
Discover opportunities to optimise your system and exploit (as yet) untapped potential.
- The 360°CRIS Review helps you to identify use cases, services and business processes that are not running smoothly.
- We advise you on the optimisation and untapped potential of your RI.
- We analyse how changes in the scientific landscape affect your FIS (e.g. new tasks/requirements, Open Science evaluations, initiatives, accountability, budget cuts).

- We look at hosting, system upgrades and the IT infrastructure.
- We check the data quality, data protection and data security of your FIS.
- We support you in creating and prioritising your plans for the further development of your FIS, including anchoring these plans in your institution.

The independent solution approach
When deciding to acquire a research information system, a repository, a new financial system,
a video conferencing system, a system for student work, a library management system, a new campus management system, etc., universities are confronted with a variety of challenges:
- How can I obtain information about existing products?
- How can I get an overview of existing solutions?
- How do I formulate my requirements in a targeted manner?
- Have I not forgotten anything when drawing up my tender?
On the other hand, product suppliers have to respond to tenders with sometimes hundreds of requirements – often a time-consuming and cost-intensive balancing act:
- How can I differentiate my product from my competitors?
- How do I advertise my product without being pushy?
- How do I get an overview of market requirements?
Are you facing precisely these challenges? Then ask us about it!
