Information Technology (IT)

Corporate IT does not exist for its own sake, but serves to implement and automatically support a company's or organisation's business processes. Modern processes and notation such as BPMN are business-process orientated and, through modelling, support a clear understanding of a company's operations and the processes that modern IT services should fulfil. BPMN enables the seamless use of technical models in accordance with UML notation, as a step towards implementation, also through off- and onshore partners. HOOD has acquired sound knowledge of the methodologies and notation used in modern software engineering from numerous successful projects and is able to offer its customers this expertise in the from of training courses, consultancy, coaching and project support. Extensive know-how concerning current modelling software tools and partnerships with leading tool vendors complete the picture. The help we are able to offer our customers in choosing the correct software tool and customising it for the energy retail industry is also independent of any particular vendors.

Our activities also focus on application lifecycle management (ALM), agile requirements management in Scrum projects, value-orientated practices for producing compact, practical models and optimisation of your 'own way of working' with a focus on added value being achieved at every stage.

Under the heading of IT, we understand not only the IT and software development areas within large companies and organisations, but also an entire IT industry, producing standard solutions in the form of IT products or individual project-based solutions for its customers. In many cases, these companies have the best and most up-to-date development know-how. But many tend to have a very technical approach. To be able to understand their customers correctly and offer the correct solutions requires a deep understanding of customer requirements and the professional management of those requirements is a key to success. With its extensive know-how, HOOD can offer a valuable contribution to representatives from this industry.
