Resources for Digitalization

Digitalization – A Challenge

The digitization of business is an existential necessity for companies. This is now clear to everyone. But how does one develop a digital business model? And if there is an idea of what a digital business model might look like, how is it implemented? For smaller companies and medium-sized enterprises, this is a real challenge — but not only for them.

Know-How - The Bottleneck Resource for Digitization Projects

Successful digitization requires enterprise architects and expert skills — and both skill sets are very difficult to find on the market. Hiring corresponding employees is not really possible for medium-sized companies. Hiring is also not really sensible since these skills are only needed for the transformation.

Larger companies also face the challenge of attracting digital experts as employees. From an economic perspective, the following question naturally arises: wouldn’t it be better for an expert to provide their know-how to as many clients as possible instead of just one single company?.

Can Larger IT Service Providers Help?

A theoretically feasible way is, of course, to delegate the conception and implementation to a large service provider who can create the appropriate concepts and acquire resources for implementation. However, aside from the fact that the corporate strategy does not belong in foreign hands, this option is expensive is not agile. The overhead associated with it is simply too high.

The All-Rounder - The Solution?

Of course, you can also ask your in-house programmer whether they could implement, for example, AI or blockchain solutions. Hardly any capable software developer refuses to face new technical challenges. However, an expert in their specialty is about 5 to 10 times faster than a generalist, who would first need to familiarize themselves with the task. Additionally, the likelihood of successfully completing the project is significantly higher with an expert.

Tenders as the Solution

But where do we find the experts? A good way is through tenders from the IT industry. You describe the expected outcome or the required skills and post the tender on a platform. After one to two weeks, you can select from the incoming applications.

That is exactly the solution we have built: the IT tenders platform. With the help of AI, we match thousands of service provider profiles with tenders and automatically send a "request for proposal" (RFP) to the suitable service companies upon matching. This ensures that service providers are not overwhelmed with irrelevant inquiries or have to sift through a mountain of tenders to find the right ones. For service buyers, this means they only receive qualified applications from companies capable of handling their projects.

Just give it a try.
