Projects

adesso is by your side during every step of the agile transformation of your company. We provide comprehensive support and consultation at the structural, process and cultural levels during the introduction of agile methods using a modular service catalogue:

Our services

• Agile assessment; includes services for determining the level of maturity required and for location determination in the agile transformation.
• Agile coaching; includes services relating to the teaching of agile working methods (values, principles, technologies and frameworks) and the development of individuals and teams.
• Agile development; includes services relating to the implementation and support of agile software development.
• Agile transition; includes services relating to developing your company into an agile organisation.

We work together with you to develop the right methodology for your project. We don’t mind if it’s an agile approach or a waterfall model. We are not evangelists for the agile approach. Equally, we know that the waterfall model isn’t the only way of doing things. This is because we are convinced that every project really is different, so every project needs an individually tailored approach. Alongside our consultancy service, we at adesso also offer you the choice between two different project management methods, meaning you can pick the one best-suited to your needs.

Our services

• Pragmatic IT Project Management (PITPM) factors in the client’s specific requirements and processes and focuses on the issues that are crucial to the project’s success. It does so without asking too much of your employees. Pragmatic processes, the subdivision into phases and disciplines and the availability of well-integrated templates serve to increase productivity and improve the outcomes.
• adVANTAGE is the agile and value-oriented price model that provides you with flexibility in requirements management and an assumption of warranty and cost. The model is a reliable, calculable and transparent solution for companies that wish to implement software projects with the highest possible level of budget compliance yet without the need for a comprehensive specification.

The user – be it the end customer, agent or employee – expects software to function properly. An effective and efficient test management with expertise in insurance is a crucial factor for success in this context.

We work together with you to develop a test strategy that matches your needs and your project.

Our services

• Test management
• Preparing and carrying out tests
• Test automation
• Test data management
• Selecting and implementing QA tools
• Analysing and evaluating test processes according to established test standards
• Agile tests

Specialist architectures and the management of them are key factors in successfully implementing IT projects. Complex specialist relationships must be presented accurately and consistently at different detail levels. Building on this, not only is the success of the implementation project determined by the IT architecture management, but the stable and reliable operation of applications is also ensured. The adesso technology radar [in german] provides optimal assistance in selecting the right programming languages, tools, platforms and development processes.

Outside of traditional architectures, we also support you when it comes to the issues of cloud architecture and business intelligence (BI). A structured approach helps us to work together to develop a business case based on your specific framework conditions, and to provide you with consultation and support throughout the design, introduction and further development phases.

adesso provides you with comprehensive consultancy regarding strategic and operational process management. This includes analysing your strategic and operational concerns, planning design and carryover. Process automation – namely black-box processing – is a current focus. Process mining provides some assistance with this as it makes the implicit and otherwise hidden information contained in the data accessible in a form that can be analysed.

Even though software doesn’t alter in physical terms, the framework conditions governing its use may change or problems may occur during operation. These can only be solved by having the relevant project expertise to hand along with the corresponding software solution.

adesso has years of experience in the maintenance and further development of applications, as well as in the support and operation of applications, platforms and infrastructure environments.

Our SmartShore approach provides colleagues who speak German and English and are partly deployed at your site or at our SmartShore sites in Bulgaria, Spain or Turkey. Plus, our SmartShore projects are always implemented using a German infrastructure. The intelligent team mix guarantees that project teams quickly become operational. In accordance with the principle of agile software development, the project status can be measured and the project artefacts can be adjusted at any time.

Our offering includes

• Java development
• mobile solutions
• UX/UI developments
• .net developments

Our software engineers are familiar with the entire engineering process. In terms of our customer projects, this process includes the requirements analysis, the specialist and technical system draft, programming, quality assurance and commissioning. We feel at home in the Java and Microsoft environments and use a wide range of technologies and methods.

Requirements engineering is one of the key elements of the software development process. It serves as the basis for developing viable software architecture, ensuring a high level of user acceptance for the developed system and creating a systematic quality management process. From requirements documentation through to quality control, requirements engineering helps you develop software that impresses users, regardless of whether you rely on agile methods, the waterfall model or a different approach altogether.

adesso provides you with access to a multitude of requirements engineers qualified for IREB Certified Professional for Requirements Engineering (CPRE) who apply their expertise directly to your projects.

Typical application scenarios that our experts handle include:

• Evaluating your currently available processes and methods in the area of requirements engineering
• Consulting you on planning your requirements engineering plan – including aspects such as the approach, method selection and documentation structure
• Checking existing requirements documents
• Designing requirements engineering training sessions for your employees

Developing customised software systems that are tailored to meet your exact requirements is our core business. It is becoming increasingly more common for complex software systems to consist of a multitude of components and specialised software, such as for print, debt collection or disbursement. That’s why there is a particular focus on integrating the latest developments into a pre-existing application landscape and connecting heterogeneous application components to a fully integrated system.

Our services

• Analysing existing application landscapes with functional and qualitative requirements
• Designing interfaces and exchange mechanisms
• Developing interfaces, adapters, aggregators and transformers

Even the best software is worthless if the user can’t operate it. They expect intuitive software solutions that can preferably be used on all end devices. This is precisely where our user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) designers come in: they analyse and optimise the system’s visible interface.

Our UI designers deal with the functionalities, while our UX designers observe how users interact with the application and then evaluate how the operational process could be improved.

Design thinking is a method for consistently developing innovative solutions such as products, services or processes from the users’ perspective.

In this context, design thinking fulfils a wide range of important tasks. The method...

• follows a clearly structured process,
• always puts the needs of the user first and creates empathy,
• works with time boxes and quickly builds the first concept prototypes,
• tests the first concept prototypes early on, generally while they are still paper prototypes,
• relies on interdisciplinary interaction and uses diverse expertise and perspectives to shine a light on really innovative solutions and
• creates a seamless connection to the latter phases of the software development process.

adesso supports you in the introduction, moderation and implementation of the process, trains your employees in the necessary procedures and supports both the prototyping and testing of ideas. You also benefit from our expertise in specialist and technical methods.

The Interaction Room is a method to help us to stay on top of complex projects and focus on the important things.

We offer workshops that focus on Interaction Room methods to provide optimal support for your digitalisation projects throughout the various project phases and ensure their success.
