IT Consulting & Technical Conception

Clarity first. Then development.

We translate operational requirements into a clear technical structure – a solid basis for development, budget and scheduling.

Capture requirements

Workflows, stakeholders, existing systems and constraints are documented together.

ResultPrioritized list of requirements

Requirements → Architecture → Prototype → Implementation → Operations: every phase ends with a tangible result.

What it’s about

Clarity first. Then development.

Many digitalization projects don’t fail because of technology, but because of unclear requirements, wrong assumptions or an architecture that doesn’t fit the business. Thorough conception makes effort, risks and dependencies visible early on.

We analyze your processes and existing systems, test the feasibility of critical points and describe a technical solution that fits your budget, schedule and organization.

The result is a decision basis that is easy to follow – regardless of who implements the solution later.

Typical starting points

  • A process should become more digital, but the right solution is still unclear.
  • You have received proposals with very different approaches that are hard to compare.
  • Existing software needs to be modernized or replaced.
  • Several systems should work together in the future.

Scope of services

What this service area includes – explained in detail.

  • Analysis of existing processes

    We document workflows, stakeholders, manual handovers and bottlenecks.

  • Technical architecture

    How the solution is structured: components, data model, interfaces and operations.

  • Feasibility assessment

    Critical points are tested early, such as connecting a specific system.

  • Technology selection

    A reasoned recommendation for technologies that fit your requirements, team and operations.

  • Requirements definition

    Prioritized, testable requirements as a basis for proposals and implementation.

  • Project planning

    Development stages, dependencies and realistic milestones.

  • Modernization strategy

    Step-by-step replacement of legacy systems without a risky big-bang switch.

  • Technical documentation

    Clear documents for development, operations and future extensions.

Example situations

What this looks like in practice.

Typical situations from practice – described freely, without reference to specific clients.

  • Example

    Before a tender

    Before proposals are requested, a requirements catalog with clear priorities is created. This makes proposals comparable and later change requests less likely.

  • Example

    Modernizing a legacy application

    A central but outdated application is analyzed. The plan describes which parts are replaced first and how operations continue in the meantime.

  • Example

    Organizing the system landscape

    For several isolated solutions, we define which system holds which data and what the interfaces between them look like.

How we work

In four clear steps.

  1. 01

    Interviews and inventory

    Conversations with stakeholders, review of existing systems, documents and sample data.

  2. 02

    Analysis and options

    We assess possible approaches with their advantages and disadvantages.

  3. 03

    Concept and planning

    Architecture, requirements and development stages are documented in a clear way.

  4. 04

    Handover

    We discuss the results together and recommend the next steps.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do we have to commission LCI Development for the implementation?

No. Conception is a standalone service. The documents are structured so that internal teams or other service providers can work with them.

How extensive is a conception phase?

That depends on the project. After the first conversation, we propose a clearly defined scope so that effort and deliverables are fixed from the start.

What should I bring to the first meeting?

A short description of the process, the systems involved and – if available – existing documents or sample data. Nothing more is needed at the start.

Do you also check whether off-the-shelf software is enough?

Yes. If an existing solution meets the requirements well, we recommend it – supplemented by a suitable connection to your systems if needed.
