In times of skill shortages and growing time pressure, integrating external developer resources is a vital strategy to enhance productivity and flexibility. The key to successful development outsourcing is an effective organization, supported by the right methods and processes to ensure high quality and maintainability.
Ensuring Quality
To secure the quality of externally developed software, a well-balanced combination of guidelines and reviews is essential. Your internal experts play a crucial role in maintaining high-quality standards.
Maintaining Control
By applying proven methods — blending classic agile approaches with experience — you maintain full control over your external suppliers. This ensures efficient, high-quality software development within a short timeframe.
Preserving Knowledge
When leveraging external resources, it is vital to have the right tools in place to retain critical domain-specific and technical knowledge in-house. The right approach minimizes dependency on external service providers.
Successfully Leveraging Nearshoring and Outsourcing
Using our methodology, we quickly identify the best strategy for outsourcing to service providers in Europe or domestically. We help you define the ideal distribution of tasks between your company and the service provider, and select the most appropriate tools for each task. During the implementation phase, we provide hands-on support and expert guidance.
During execution, we take on roles in planning, management, architecture, and reviews to ensure rapid, effective project success in close collaboration with your team.
Increasing Flexibility and Efficiency
Outsourcing to trusted service providers allows you to overcome skill shortages and accelerate project delivery. You benefit from increased productivity and flexibility, while maintaining control over quality and processes. Our expertise ensures efficiently development of high-quality software, while preserving vital knowledge within your company. Your teams are relieved of pressure, enabling them to focus on strategic tasks.
A software platform is the key to achieving efficient reuse. However, designing and evolving such a platform is a complex task that requires a holistic approach. The ultimate goal is to develop a robust software platform capable of managing the diversity of your product portfolio effectively.
Develop a Reuse Strategy
Software reuse is a complex challenge that demands a carefully planned architecture and skilled platform or product line management within your organization. We offer expert consulting and collaborate closely with your team to develop a focused and practical reuse strategy.
Manage Product Variability
Modern product line approaches provide effective solutions for managing product families with numerous variants. However, building a stable product line architecture demands significant expertise in architectural design. Together, we will create a tailored technical and organizational strategy to handle the complexity of variants effectively.
Prioritize Cost-effectiveness
Many platform projects become overly ambitious, leading to delays and unmet goals. To ensure success in developing platforms and product lines, maintaining a focus on cost-effectiveness is essential. Together, we will plan the migration from your current state to a new software landscape. During implementation, we provide hands-on consulting and management support.
Maximize Efficiency with a Well-Designed Software Platform
A thoughtfully designed software platform allows you to effectively manage product variety while achieving significant cost savings. Strategic reuse of software modules enhances product stability and quality, while also reducing development time. With our expertise, we help you create and implement a cost-effective reuse strategy that relieves your internal teams and ensures your product lines are future-ready.
What is the CRA? Am I Affected?
The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is an EU regulation designed to enhance the cybersecurity of connected products. If you sell connected products in the EU, this regulation directly impacts you. Security considerations must be integrated from the development phase and maintained throughout the entire product lifecycle. Compliance with CRA requirements is essential to obtain the CE marking.
Quick Action Is Required
The CRA has been passed and will take effect in 2024, requiring adjustments to your development processes by Q3 2026. Full compliance with all requirements will be mandatory from Q4 2027. Companies that delay action risk facing significant sanctions.
What Do I Need to Do?
The CRA requirements are comprehensive but achievable—with the right guidance. They impact not only your product development processes and the entire product lifecycle but also demand a security-focused software architecture.
Our Contribution
With our extensive expertise in software development and years of experience in optimizing development processes, we are the ideal partner for your needs. We provide tangible support on both technical and procedural levels.
Our Approach:
With us by your side, implementing the CRA will not be a burden, but an opportunity to further enhance and optimize your product development.
