Wirtschaftlichkeitsanalysen von IT-Investitionen

Welchen Wert haben IT-Investitionen? Wie kann der Nutzen von IT-Investitionen gemessen werden und welche Methoden sind zur Wirtschaftlichkeitsanalyse von IT-Investitionen geeignet? Wir unterstützen unsere Kunden mit monetären und nicht-monetären, qualitativen und quantitativen, traditionellen und innovativen Wirtschaftlichkeitsanalysen. Verschiedene Ansätze werden entsprechend ihrer Eignung für spezifische Projekte kombiniert und Erweiterungen von klassischen Wirtschaftlichkeitsanalysen entwickelt wie Dynamisierungen von ROI-Berechnungen durch Lifetime-Value-Ansätze, Monte-Carlo-Simulationen und Realoptionsansätze.

IT-Value and IT-Valuation (ROI Calculations and IT-Business Cases)

IT investments promise to deliver genuine business benefits. But the difficulty to foresee the acceptance, adoption and diffusion of the IT investments poses a special challenge for estimating value payoffs in face of uncertain future developments. Practitioners have difficulty to capture all or even some of the benefits of IT Systems with existing traditional capital budgeting models. We support our clients with various ways of measuring the business value of IT systems, considering financial and non-financial, quantitative and qualitative, traditional and innovative models. We developed dynamic modifications of ROI calculations, which integrate the business value of IT systems into the traditional capital budgeting models, considering Lifetime Value Models, Monte Carlo Simulations and Real Option Pricing Models.

Value of IT-Architecture and IT-Flexibility (Real Options)

The most expensive mistakes in software architecture design are made with respect to the software's flexibility. The cost of later changes and adaptations of the software are usually neglected during conventional software development processes, where only the features of the new version count. Based on several years of academic work and subsequent practical experience (see Publications for details), we have developed methodologies and tools for taking into account the flexibility of a software's architecture as one of its most important properties. Based on our methods, we have already achieved a 10-fold decrease in software change requests and evolution costs for some of our clients. Let us support you in reducing your own software evolution costs. This consulting practice is done in cooperation with Dr. Oliver Stiemerling of Ecambria Systems.
