The SecondFloor Cube
In today’s highly demanding consumer market, the need for integrated information is continuously increasing.
Long-standing vertical IT solutions contain extremely valuable information for the execution of business processes. Making use of this existing technology and information in an efficient and innovative way is a challenge that is well worth the effort.
Modern technology supports the integration of information into portals within a business intelligent environment. However, the complexity of these environments cannot always satisfy the rapidly changing demand for easy access by end users.
SecondFloor specialises in providing innovative solutions to bridge the gap between your existing technology and your changing business needs.
Our extensive, proven experience has shown us that any truly successful IT implementation needs to keep six aspects in balance – as represented by our SecondFloor Cube.
In line with this multi-dimensional approach, we develop complex IT building blocks together with our clients, partners and motivated team members.
Take a look at this flattened cube:
In our understanding, the Business process is leading. In order to gain a thorough understanding of your business processes, we conduct workshops, feasibility studies and business process descriptions. We believe that a common understanding of a business process is required to implement technology successfully, as the primary goal of an IT implementation is not just a new technical tool but an improved business process.
Technology supports the business. A clear understanding of the numerous different standards is crucial and the right choices need to be made by experienced professionals. We work with Java J2EE, Microsoft .net, Oracle, SQL, ARIS and other programmes.
An IT Project is split up in several phases like planning and roadmap, project management, technical architecture, ‘Define, Design, Develop and Deploy’, quality assurance, UAT & go-live support. Thanks to our philosophy of flexibility, commitment and short communication lines, our project team will make sure that we deliver the whole project within the challenging timelines that we set together with our client.
We like keeping our client in the driving seat of the project, but never without our Support – before and after the project delivery. This means that our dedicated team of international experts is always available for consultancy, customer liaison and ITIL based support, be it for just a couple of days or on a long-term basis.
Finally, a successful IT project also means effective management of several different Sources like experienced team members, strategic partnerships and further co-operation, funds and time. We combine the strength of diverse software sources, the SecondFloor component library, instrument generator, credit decision tool and strong partnerships with market leaders.
The result is an innovative Solution that executes the desired business process in the best possible way. We provide Solvency II, SOX and Basel II compliant end-to-end solutions or components, spreadsheet control and search based intelligence solutions.
The connecting pieces of our cube are our values. Words like commitment, entrepreneurship, innovation, reliability and dynamics are ingrained into every team member at SecondFloor – everyone here always gives at least 100%! And with about 20 nationalities working together in our team, we bridge cultural differences and can offer an extremely varied and qualified professional background.
