Configurator: find the right starting point

Step 1 of 5: What is it about?

What fits best? Required

We need software or a digital product. Software development I am looking for a technical co-founder. Venture Building We lack technical leadership. CTO-as-a-Service Our business should work more digitally. Digitalisation Our research software should live on. Research & Transfer

Step 2 of 5: What best describes your situation?

Software development

We want to build a new product or platform. There is existing software that someone should take over and develop further. We need a website with a content management system. Our software runs, but nobody takes care of operations and updates. Our team lacks development capacity.

Venture Building

I know the market and the customers, but I lack the technology. An existing project should become a company of its own. I support a venture and am looking for a technical partner for it.

CTO-as-a-Service

We want to know where our system stands. We need someone to own the technology until we have our own CTO. We are considering an investment or acquisition and need a technical assessment. We work with external providers and cannot judge their work. Our system is old and hard to change.

Digitalisation

Processes run on paper, email and Excel lists. Our systems do not talk to each other, and data is maintained twice. Customers should be able to order, configure or check status online. We want to pre-sort documents or enquiries with AI. Reports and records take too much time every month.

Research & Transfer

Funding ends soon, and the software should keep running. Funding is over, and the software is still running somehow. Our project needs a website or a portal. The research result should become a product or a company.

Step 3 of 5: Which building blocks do you need?

Multiple choice. Matching building blocks are preselected, and you can change everything.

Build and run

Web platform or SaaS App for iOS or Android Website with content management system First version to test with customers Design and interaction concept Subscriptions, payments and invoices Operations, updates and backups

Venture Building

Found a company together Have the product built, run and sold Prepare a spin-off

Technical leadership

Interim CTO Tech check of an existing system Technical due diligence Technical roadmap Security and data protection Build a team and hire developers Workshop “Using AI well”

Digitalisation

On-site digitalisation audit Interfaces between systems Dashboards and reports Customer portal or configurator AI for documents and enquiries Replace a legacy system

Research and transfer

Transfer check of the research software Rescue sprint before funding ends Operations and further development after funding ends Productisation
