SCOPELAND business applications have a positive impact on our customers' business operations: they improve data delivery, create high data quality, optimize workflows and often even entire business processes.

Our SCOPELAND technology leads to quick successes with simple means. The overall success also depends significantly on the accompanying project work. It must take into account and combine the complex relationships between goals, requirements, system landscape, IT strategy, feasibility, costs, corporate culture and organizational framework conditions. In addition to technical product and database knowledge, well-founded methodological knowledge in the areas of project management, application development, software management, IT security and IT service management is required.

The underlying idea of SCOPELAND is that essential application functionalities are needed again and again, and that we have standardized these in our SCOPELAND platform and summarized them into core functions, also applies to the associated project work: requirements analyzes, specification sheets, specifications, application architectures, IT operation, interfaces, Data management and data management, process analysis and process management, test planning and execution, information security and process and product introduction are just a few of the terms that characterize our projects in terms of content.

Over the course of many years and in hundreds of projects, we have systematically processed and further developed the methodological knowledge that has been built up, and ultimately bundled it into our consulting division. As a customer, you benefit from this know-how, both as part of our joint project work and through our additional advisory support.
