Evaluation of strategic scenarios

• Client challenge: After spinning off from a major automobile manufacturer, our client continued to realize 90% of its revenue from that company. In 2007, the customer changed its policy towards suppliers which required our client to reduce revenue from that customer to 30% within five years.
• transentis solution: transentis conducted a thorough analysis of the clients business model and revenue streams. Several new strategies and related scenarios were evaluated and the strategy that had the greatest chance of success was recommended.

Business Process Reengineering, with particular focus on their sales process

• Client challenge: Our client had set aggressive growth targets and wanted to make sure the organisation (and especially the sales department) was fit to reach these targets.
• transentis solution: transentis redesigned the client’s sales process to focus on more transparent lead management and ensure that business opportunities at current customers were systematically identified and leveraged. A new process management system was implemented in order to ease the introduction of the process into the organisation.

Benchmarking of customisation projects

• Client challenge: Our client provides platform software to the telecommunication market. To ensure remain competitive with respect to customisation costs and time-to-market performance, they needed to benchmark selected projects and find ways to improve performance indicators.
• transentis solution: We first defined a framework for a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the selected customisation projects. Then we benchmarked the projects against each other and against data (commercially) available on the market. We identified potential areas of improvement and - through a series of workshops with the client - defined actions for improvement. To ensure improvement was measurable from an early stage we identified suitable leading and lagging performance indicators and set performance targets for them.

Design of a model-driven systems engineering methodology

• Client challenge: This high-tech game changer needed to improve its project management practices to leverage learnings from past projects into new opportunities.
• transentis solution: Through a structured interview process, We evaluated the company’s past experiences via a series of interviews; specifically the things that the the IT and business departments had learned during delivery of previous projects. Experiences were summarized as Lessons Learned and included in an intranet-based project management guide that identified best practices. We evaluated the long-term improvement potential and made recommendations accordingly.

Feasibility study for the introduction of an Enterprise Architecture Management System

• Client challenge:
Our client needed an up-to-date information repository that described the current enterprise architecture and listed all planned changes.
• transentis solution: We conducted interviews with all potential stakeholders to gather information for the repository, identify all information sources, and define collection and maintenance processes. Commercially available enterprise architecture management systems were evaluated in order to choose and introduce a foundation for the information repository. Information collection and maintenance processes were defined and a multi-level roll-out process was developed to ensure that the system added immediate value.

Feasibility study for a next generation electronic toll collection system

• Client challenge: The client had to evaluate the feasibility of developing a next generation IT system. Consideration of risks and costs was essential.
• transentis solution:
We defined a method that allowed seamless analysis of business processes and IT systems with the objective of evaluating technical feasibility, expected costs, and business, IT operation, and IT development risk.
