_When development falters: complexity increases and decisions stall
What do we do?
Many IoT and digitization projects fail not because of the idea, but because of the implementation.
Unclear requirements, wrong technology decisions, a lack of transparency in the course of a project or a separation between hardware, software and platform thinking mean that systems do not run stably, do not scale or never function productively. This is where our consulting and analysis services come in.
We support companies in an independent, advisory role in the analysis, structuring and management of IoT and digital projects – even if the actual development is already being carried out by another service provider. Our focus is on making causes visible, preparing decisions in a well-founded manner and making projects capable of acting again.
Typical situations in which we provide support
• An existing IoT or software project is not working as planned
• Development has started, but results are lacking
• Requirements are unclear or contradictory
• Hardware, firmware, platform and cloud do not mesh neatly
• Decisions about technologies were made early on and prove problematic later on
• External service providers deliver, but progress and quality are difficult to assess
In these situations, we take on a structuring, mediating and controlling role.
_practical example
An international company was planning a digital transformation project in the Middle East and was looking for independent advice on how to assess the existing state of development. The aim was to understand which parts of the planned solution are viable, where technical and organizational risks lie and which assumptions need to be checked.
Over several months, the cooperation took place mainly remotely, supplemented by targeted on-site assignments. In workshops and coordination, existing architectures were analyzed, requirements were sharpened and decision-making bases for further implementation were developed. The focus was not on taking over the development, but on structure, transparency and clarity.
The result was a solid basis for the continuation of the project: a common understanding of the project status, identified risks and concrete next steps. The technical implementation remained with the existing partners, while the consulting helped to make the project controllable again.
_Our range of services focuses on:
_Analysis of existing developments
We analyze existing systems, architectures, and development statuses by holistically evaluating hardware, software, and platforms. In doing so, we look at architectural decisions made as well as technical dependencies and identify bottlenecks, misconceptions and risks. An essential part of the analysis is the classification of why systems do not run stably, do not achieve the desired performance or are not scalable. The aim of this analysis is not to apportion blame, but to create transparency and a reliable basis for decision-making.

_Technical & strategic consulting
We advise on fundamental issues relating to IoT and digital projects. This includes evaluating which technologies make sense for a specific use case and which architecture fits the objectives in the long term. We analyze the role of cloud, edge, connectivity and operations and show where dependencies arise and how they can be avoided or reduced. Our advice is independent of manufacturers and providers.

_Requirements & Structure
Unclear requirements are among the most common causes of failing projects. We support the structuring and sharpening of requirements, translate business goals into technical requirements and define clear acceptance criteria. In addition, we help prioritize features and roadmaps to create a common, traceable foundation for all stakeholders.

_Project and process control
On request, we accompany ongoing projects as an independent authority. In doing so, we monitor progress, quality and risks, professionally evaluate the results of external service providers and moderate between departments, development and management. We support you in making decisions and making necessary course corrections. The development remains with the existing service provider – the responsibility for structure and clarity does not.

Contact
_This offer is suitable for
• Companies with ongoing or planned IoT projects
• Organizations with multiple service providers or internal teams
• Decision-makers who want to better understand technical risks
• Projects where “something is wrong” but no one can clearly name it
_Why this approach works
IoT and digital projects are complex. The later structural problems are identified, the more expensive they become. An independent analysis and accompanying advice:
• Reduces undesirable developments
• Improves decision-making quality
• Saves time and costs
• Increases the likelihood that projects will actually work productively
