The IT-Matchmaker® supports digitisation projects of any kind efficiently and securely. The tools and services of the IT-Matchmaker® have been developed together with partners from industry and research and are based on our wealth of experience from hundreds of projects we have supported.
With the IT-Matchmaker®, you can plan the design and further development of your software landscape and manage the entire life cycle of your business software from the analysis of the status quo to the selection and implementation of the appropriate solution to continuous maintenance and optimization based on your individual business processes.
Never before have companies had to adapt so flexibly and quickly to changing market conditions as they do today. To withstand the increasing competitive pressure, new business models and product strategies must be developed, more flexible organizational structures created and customers, as well as partners, must be more closely integrated into the processes. As a result, business processes in many companies are changing almost continuously, usually accompanied by new requirements for hardware and software support.
Therefore, it should be checked regularly whether processes and software are still properly interlinked, i.e. whether the software landscape used still meets these requirements and whether the existing applications are used by the employees in the way that brings the greatest benefit.
Here is a selection of the IT-Matchmaker® tools & services with which you can identify optimisation potentials in the context of business software use
Expandable reference process reference catalogue, with which you can record and visualise your individual company processes efficiently.
Simple and transparent recording and management of improvement potentials with reference to processes, IT systems and master data
Simple structuring of process catalogues and classification of processes via metadata (e.g. process owner, software application used, etc.)
Sound evaluation of master data according to quality, relevance and leading software applications based on an expandable reference catalogue.
Transparent assessment of maturity, prioritization and software support of business processes. Thus, weaknesses and their causes can be efficiently identified and, if necessary, initial organizational improvement measures can be derived.
The IT-Matchmaker®.select licence provides you with these and other tools and services especially for the selection phase. With the licence IT-Matchmaker®.portal you use the tools to continuously check and optimize the interaction of processes and software.
Regardless of whether it is a matter of expanding or modernizing the existing software landscape, or changing software partners: investments in business software are always associated with considerable risks and time and again you hear and read about failed projects, significant budget or time overruns.
Already in the selection phase important course is set for the project, because not every software product is suitable for every company and not every software provider has the necessary experience, skills and resources to meet the requirements of every company.

The implementation of complex business software (e.g. ERP, ECM, CRM, MES, etc.) is a multidimensional project that can present even experienced project managers and their team with major challenges. Not only does the new application have to be integrated as smoothly as possible into the existing application landscape, but also all employees who are to work with the new solution in the future have to be "brought along". In addition, it must be ensured that the implementation partner also delivers what was agreed - if possible in the planned term and without additional costs.
The tools and services of IT-Matchmaker® replicate all project steps of the Aachen Implementation Model for Business Software (ImplAiX). This model was developed as part of a consortium project led by the Research Institute for Rationalisation (FIR) at RWTH Aachen University and Trovarit AG.
