Business development
With our background and knowledge of successful development of our own ventures in digitalisation technology, we offer these services to companies that have bigger plans. Our focus is very clear: a positive corporate development with the objective of increasing value.
Often, a lack of digitisation solutions plays a decisive role in whether companies will be sustainably successful in the future. In many cases, they prevent aggressive growth because automated processes or information at the push of a button are missing.
Project example: Company development through the further development of the digitisation strategy
In-house development or purchase of an IIOT solution?
An internationally active electronics company based in the DACH region develops and markets control systems worldwide in the field of mechanical engineering and the energy industry. In order to further expand its competitive advantage, the company was looking for a solution to network its control systems. This solution was to enable the customer to round off the product portfolio with an online information system for diagnosing the status of the control systems. A modular system of development tools was to enable users to quickly implement customer-specific solutions.
