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 applied multiple times.
Our fixed-price services and our implementation model are the result of our solution forge.

SOLUTION = METHODOLOGY + CONSULTING + IMPLEMENTATION

The challenge lies in the area of methodology. This methodology is one of our strengths.

Here, we develop concepts, best practice approaches and – if the appropriate products are not available –the necessary tools. We then supplement the methodology with consulting and/or implementation services, thereby creating a solution that our customers can implement.

We are convinced that good solutions can and should ultimately be converted into products. For this reason, we approach product manufacturers we know and offer our solutions as part of our services.
But even without product implementation, our solutions can be operationalized and used.
Examples of this are our solutions for the third pillar/third mission or performance-based funding allocation (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. Continuously.

Services from the solution forge include the 360°CRIS Review, Transfer / Third Mission, Fit for KDSF / RIS?, the six-phase model for successful system implementation, and much more.

We are currently working on the following topics:

Have you ever wondered how your institution is perceived from the “outside”? We analyze your online presence and show you areas for improvement. Take advantage of this fixed-price service to quickly analyze your research and transfer activities and then start your professionalization process in a targeted manner.

The service is still under development for the area of teaching.

When it comes to presenting researcher profiles or research achievements in an attractive way to the public, funding bodies or partner companies, this presentation must fit seamlessly into the look and feel of the institution. The first solutions based on VIVO are already in productive use. We are currently working on scaling these solutions for different RIS products

We have many ideas of our own on the subject of artificial intelligence – in the context of RIS and beyond. We have strengthened our team accordingly and built up expertise – the first AI projects will be implemented shortly.

The independent approach

When deciding to purchase 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 do I obtain information about existing products?
  • How can I get an overview of available solutions?
  • How do I formulate my requirements in a targeted manner?
  • Have I forgotten anything when preparing my tender?

On the other hand, product suppliers have to respond to tenders with sometimes hundreds of requirements – often a time-consuming and costly balancing act:

  • How can I differentiate my product from my competitors?
  • How do I promote my product without being pushy?
  • How do I get an overview of market requirements?

Are you facing precisely these challenges? Then please contact us!
