Selection & procurement of software & AI

Make · Buy · Agentic Code – the right sourcing decision

Own the specification – not the code and not the licence. We compare in-house development, standard software and Agentic Code objectively and guide you independently through selection and award.

Our service

Objective software selection for future-proof, profitable investments

We guide you independently through the entire procurement process, from the first requirements analysis to the final contract signing. Our structured management consulting helps you avoid expensive bad investments, significantly accelerates your selection procedures and ensures that new technologies fit perfectly into your existing system landscape.

Tools in this service

Three sourcing options, one specification as the yardstick

The Requirements Manager delivers the implementation-ready specification that tender, bid comparison and acceptance reference – instead of person-days. The Estimation Manager quantifies Make, Buy and Agentic Code by fit, total cost and time to market and makes the sourcing decision objective.

  • Requirements Manager: An implementation-ready specification as the tendering basis – the same single source of truth for RFI, RFP, contract and acceptance
  • Estimation Manager: Function-point estimate with cost per phase – classic, agile and agentic delivery in comparison as the basis of the decision between Make, Buy and Agentic Code
  • Estimation Manager Specification as Code: The machine-readable implementation order if the decision falls on Agentic Code – reusable without any media break

Our methodology

A structured process from estimate to procurement

Our methodology guides you safely through the entire software selection process. We start with a solid planning basis built on precise estimates and accompany you through procurement with deep market understanding – optimizing costs and finding the ideal solution. Agentic Code as the third option: 3–6 months to running software instead of 18–24 months for in-house development – 100% of the intellectual property with you, no licence costs.
