IT systems

The application software does no longer meet the current requirements or the system response times have deteriorated over the time. The system disconnects sporadically so that the operation is seriously disturbed. The support costs of a system which has been implemented for quite some time increase permanently without the performance being improved.

The problems that might arise in the EDP environment are diverse. The preceding cases are examples of often arising problems. In many cases there is some doubt about whether the solution approaches considered are reasonably feasible under economic and technical aspects so that it is appropriate to seek external support.

We offer independent and competent consulting services (strategy and investment consulting) divided into packages for the enhancement or extension of your IT infrastructure. In connection with the commercial evaluation of systems and system components, for instance, a valuation is sometimes required when new shareholders join a company or when securities are provided.
