We advise you reliably and independently
Werum offers a wide range of consulting services. They are mostly provided in the run-up to the acquisition or implementation of IT solutions, often also on a vendor-neutral basis and independent of any subsequent project involvement of Werum itself.
We will be happy to advise you. Arrange a non-binding meeting now!
We provide the basis for your successful IT project
The spectrum of our consulting services already begins with support in the analysis of requirements, processes or even the weak points of your existing systems. This includes the evaluation of alternative technologies and products and also architecture consulting. The results flow into requirement specifications or system specifications for vendor selection, for example in the context of public tenders, where specialist departments usually have to get by without the necessary IT knowledge.
We advise you on the planning and execution of IT projects that are to be successfully implemented even under time and budget constraints. This is where the experience we have built up over many years comes into play, for example in selecting the right process model, setting the right priorities and defining realistic time sequences. If you wish, we can also take care of your IT infrastructure, plan your networks and apply our experience in selecting and procuring the optimal hardware for the respective application.
The complexity of system migrations is very often underestimated. That is why we offer you suitable migration concepts. This is not just a simple "transfer" of data, but a mapping of the content of different data models, a simultaneous improvement in data quality and the parallel operation of an old and a new solution.
Sophisticated architectures for your optimal IT solution
Depending on the task and project phase, different architectures are in focus for a project. For example, the conceptual architecture developed in the analysis phase focuses on the business. What business objects are there? How do they relate to each other and what cardinalities exist? Only then can the functional requirements be formulated clearly.
The other architectures are essentially determined by the non-functional requirements: The design architecture defines design patterns for the topology of the solution. Based on this, the technologies to be used are determined in the implementation architecture. The runtime architecture defines the operational environment (server, cloud, etc.), its design and the distribution of the components on it.
The result is future-proof, component-oriented IT solutions that are characterized by properties such as distributability, scalability, fail-safety, expandability and interoperability with open interfaces.
We take a holistic view of your IT system landscape and make it fit for the future
IT structures that have grown over the years present many companies with major challenges: The expandability and maintainability of these systems quickly reach their limits. Often, the systems, also known as legacy software, lack the flexibility to expand them in a future-proof manner and to ensure the required reliability. However, a comprehensive renewal of the entire IT landscape is often not an option for economic and technical reasons. Instead, new systems must be able to be integrated into the existing IT landscape and provide a high degree of flexibility at the various levels. To achieve this flexibility, we consider a number of criteria for the architecture of an IT solution.
Despite increasingly powerful hardware, we pay attention to high resource efficiency during development in order to make optimum use of RAM, CPU and network components. Efficient algorithms for searching, sorting, linking and enriching information also contribute to this. Our developers therefore also focus their attention on the good interaction of the algorithms and the appropriate representation of the data structure. This is the only way to obtain efficient algorithms that can cope with future tasks. It is worth the effort, because a good algorithmic idea and its efficient implementation are usually more rewarding than pure computing power. Efficient algorithms form a unit together with the suitable data structure.
