Our range of services in digital transformation consulting
Our strength lies in the combination of strategic consulting and direct technical implementation. We accompany you from the initial concept to the finished product—this shortens project times and ensures feasibility. We structure our consulting services into three core areas:
Strategy & Organizational Design
We create the structural conditions for change. Digital transformation often fails because of rigid hierarchies, not because of technology.
-
Realignment of IT & organization: We adapt your structures to modern digitization standards and implement the necessary meta-processes and governance structures.
-
Fact-based decisions: Move away from gut feelings and toward data. We establish systems that provide you with a clear basis for strategic decisions.
Technology & Digital Products
We modernize your IT landscape and get you up to speed.
-
Technology shift & architecture: We support the transition to modern platforms (cloud, microservices) and replace legacy systems.
-
Introduction of digital products: We provide end-to-end support, from integrating new tools into existing processes to launching completely new digital business models.
Culture, Speed & Methodology
Technology is useless if it is not used or developed too slowly.
-
Acceleration & Agility: Through iterative development and agile methods, we drastically shorten your release cycles. Errors are detected early and results are delivered faster.
-
Mindset & Change Management: We put people first. Through targeted coaching and involvement, we prevent resistance and embed a digital mindset deep within your corporate culture.
Our advice on digital transformation: Pragmatic, transparent, effective
We combine strategic vision with technical depth. True transformation starts with organization and processes, but must ultimately result in a functioning IT architecture. This is how we proceed:
Status Quo & Potential Analysis
We examine your business goals, existing IT landscape, and organizational structure. The result: a clear overview of your strengths and specific areas for action.
Target vision & strategic alignment
We define a realistic target vision for IT and organization. In doing so, we ensure clarity at all levels—from C-level to the development team, everyone knows where the journey is headed.
Roadmap & Empowerment for Implementation
We don't deliver a theoretical concept, but a feasible step-by-step plan. Our goal: to set up your teams in such a way that the transformation is not only planned, but also successfully implemented operationally.
Consulting for digital transformation that doesn't end on paper
Genuine digital transformation consulting only comes about when strategic vision meets technological excellence. Unlike pure strategy consultancies, we don't leave you to implement the solution on your own. We embed new processes and technologies deep within your organization—from IT architecture to the mindset of your teams. Take advantage of our combination of consulting expertise and engineering power to not only secure your competitiveness, but actively expand it.
FAQs: Frequently asked questions about advice on digital transformation
How does digital transformation consulting differ from conventional IT consulting?
While IT consulting focuses mainly on technology and infrastructure, digital transformation consulting goes beyond this by incorporatingbusiness models, strategies and organizational culture into the transformation process.
How long does a typical digital transformation project take?
The duration depends on the size and complexity of the company as well as the specific objectives of the transformation. Projects can take anywhere from a few months to several years.
How are employees involved in the digital transformation process?
Employees are an essential part of any successful transformation. They are involved in the process through training, workshops and ongoing communication. A digital transformation is only successful if they support the transformation.
What happens after a transformation project is completed?
Digital transformation is an ongoing process and must always remain scalable and evolve. Once the project has been completed, it is important to monitor the progress made, to learn continuously and to keep adapting to new requirements.
