Sustainable and scalable system architectures through experience and expertise
Customer-specific development
RISE builds customised solutions from the ground up, ensuring seamless integration into existing environments and systems. We offer solutions for start-ups as well as for the automation of large-scale business processes for all domains.
If required, RISE can offer a correspondingly comprehensive modular system and thus efficiently establish new solutions and build on the already highly secure and scalable basis.
Requirements analysis
We deploy business analysts with the necessary domain knowledge to identify, analyse, validate and document all functional and non-functional requirements, data flows and UI components, the product vision and the project scope.
Project planning
We deliver specifications, wireframes and prototypes to get early feedback and thereby test the solutions in progress. Our architects analyse potential product use cases and deployment scenarios to identify technically unfeasible or expensive features and propose the most suitable technology stack.
Product design
Our UXD team builds conceptual models and creates interaction scenarios that optimally guide the user through the utilisation process. We test early concept phases and collect feedback so that both performance and customer involvement can be gradually improved.
Custom app development
RISE develops custom web, desktop and mobile solutions, both native and platform-independent, with scalability, robustness and customisability in mind. Our services include application migration, testing, integration and deployment, with a focus on scalability and robustness.
Maintenance and support
We provide support for applications developed by RISE or a third-party vendor. RISE solves challenges of any complexity: application upgrades and feature enhancements, performance monitoring and security audits, OS and server migration, workarounds and hotfixes.
Third-party product customisations
With proven knowledge of technical platforms and components, both open source and proprietary products, we create customised solutions that meet our clients' unique requirements and integrate seamlessly with existing solutions.
A key advantage of customising open source software is the control and flexibility it offers. Unlike proprietary software, which is often restrictive and closed, open source software allows for deep customisation and expansion. This means that your IT solution can grow and adapt with your business without being dependent on the restrictions or licence fees of a software provider. In addition, you benefit from the security and reliability guaranteed by the transparent nature and broad support of the open source community.
At RISE, we specialise in customising open source software to not only meet the unique needs of your business, but also to support its growth and innovation. Our expertise allows us to harness the power of the community and the flexibility of open source software to deliver powerful, secure and fully customised IT solutions. Our commitment does not end with the delivery of your customised solution. We provide ongoing support and maintenance to ensure your software stays up-to-date, meets security standards and performs optimally.
Migration/Upgrades/Legacy systems
We offer redesign, refactoring, migration to newer platforms and architecture review for obsolete and unmaintainable legacy systems in need of an overhaul. RISE has expertise in legacy platforms such as IBM mainframe/host systems and provides experts in legacy programming languages such as PL/I or COBOL for replacement projects.
Replacing legacy systems and migrating host systems is a critical step for organisations that want to remain competitive and lay the foundation for future growth. At RISE, we offer comprehensive services to make this transition as smooth and efficient as possible. Our goal is to strengthen your business by modernising your IT infrastructure so that you can take full advantage of new technologies.
Our process begins with an in-depth analysis of the current system landscape to understand the specific requirements and challenges. This first phase is crucial to develop a customised migration plan that takes into account not only technical but also business aspects. We place great emphasis on careful planning and preparation to minimise downtime and ensure business continuity.
Migrating legacy systems and host systems requires specialised expertise to avoid data loss and ensure the integrity of your business data. Our team uses proven methods and state-of-the-art tools to ensure the secure and effective transfer of your data, applications and services. We support you every step of the way - from the selection of the appropriate target platform to the actual migration and the aftercare and optimisation of your new environment.
Detailed requirements analysis as a stable basis
Requirements analyses are becoming increasingly complex, so comprehensive system knowledge and an understanding of user workflows are essential. We are aware of these needs. We are happy to support you in establishing and effectively applying requirements analysis in your projects. We teach you relevant techniques and methods and how to use tools systematically.
Do you need to establish efficient, compliant processes in your projects? Would you like to learn how to successfully select suitable tools in terms of effective process models and how to implement these tools effectively? Then take advantage of our expertise. We will be happy to provide you with the relevant domain knowledge at technical or user level, for example with the help of usability engineering.
Sustainable and scalable system architectures through experience and expertise
We are aware that the challenges in setting up architectures in companies and development processes are increasing. Designing architectures efficiently and integrating them smoothly into the customer environment (processes, operating infrastructure) is a must. We are happy to support you with the necessary techniques and methods. Find out which tools are suitable for you and how you can integrate them into your tool environment.
Do you want a reliable, highly scalable, stable, secure architecture that can be communicated within your team in order to minimise risks and make the right decisions? Are you looking for suitable methods to master the development, documentation and communication of the architecture? Would you like to learn more about basic architecture patterns and the latest technologies? Then take advantage of our expertise.
