The foundation of NovaTec’s success

Three pillars of success

It is the combination of experience, competence and mentality which makes NovaTec that success-ful.

EXPERIENCE

IT projects rarely fail because of technology but rather be-cause of a lack of experience social competences. Since 1993 we successfully provide services for a multitude of customers from Germany and around the globe. From our experience we know how to run complex projects.

MENTALITY

We base development of software and IT systems generally on the principles of

agile product development according to Scrum. Result orientation is paramount.

In the development of customer-specific IT systems we work based on the

Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) certification standards. This certification

underscores our standard of realizing reliable and successful processes.

All these measures are aimed at maintaining a high level of know-how and competence while

at the same time minimizing your process risk. Our approach qualifies us to run demanding

IT projects whose complexity requires a comprehensive perspective. All this means certainty

for you.

In our fast-paced times with their increasingly complex tasks the highest demands are made.

We meet this challenge. Our employee and management structure as well as our methods

provide a fertile ground for thriving strategy and technology competence, paired with dynam-

ics, efficiency and strong personal commitment. We are up-to-date, apply state-of-the-art

techno-logy and processes, but we also trust in proven methods. In short: we have the experi-

ence that leads to success.

Nowhere else does ‚today‘ turn into ‚yesterday‘ as quickly as it does in the IT industry.

That‘s why we place exceptionally high value on the skill enhancement of our employees.

We work with numerous universities. By doing so we benefit from creative ideas and

can offer our customers innovative solutions.

Experience pays Competence in various industries.

Most often it is the soft, interpersonal factors, group-dynamic processes, poor flow of information

and lack of communication that cause projects to fail. But how to lead interdisciplinary IT

projects to success is normally not part of the university curriculum – and even if it was: there

is no substitute for practical experience. Every industry has its own rules and its own language.

Only a company that has worked for several customers from a particular industry knows what

makes it tick. As a result, processes run faster and there is a better mutual understanding. All

that has positive effects on the outcome.

We love to make our customers happy Individual solutions according to customers needs.

Case 01 Hamburg Süd. This logistics company is among the leading vendors of global

sea transports. The task: NovaTec was commissioned to make the global IT platform and

application environment faster and more efficient.

The result: The solution was to use ‚PurePath‘ transaction tracing technology from

dynaTrace. Through extensive test analyses performance problems were to precisely

identified and fixed. Even higher performance was achieved despite highest require-

ments complexity.

Case 02 DZBW (Data center of state of Baden-Württemberg) is a leading software

development company for the public sector. The task: NovaTec was awarded the contract

for modernization of the citizens‘ registry administration software after an open invitation to

tender. NovaTec heads the specialist teams, develops project planning, provides support for

quality assurance, and undertakes development of large parts of the application.

The result: The improved software is on schedule and will be introduced as planned.

Initial use cases were received with great acclaim.

Case 03 Daimler FleetBoard. The Daimler subsidiary is the market leader in Europe in commer-

cial vehicle telematics, and offers solutions for the electronic measuring of vehicle characteristics.

The task: Before market launch numerous and demanding test drives have to be conducted.

NovaTec provides support for the development of an efficient electronic test system and the

corresponding test management tool.

The result: Customer expectations were met and partially exceeded. Future innovations can

be introduced faster, more eco-friendly and in a more cost-effective way.

Case 04 Marquardt, the specialist for switches, sensors and control systems, offers cutting-edge

technology that serves as the link between user and device. The task: The internationally operating

mid-sized company was using numerous CAD applications at its offices and required optimization

of the licensing situation.

The result: NovaTec had the ideal answer for Marquardt with its inCharge® licencse manage-

ment solution. Optimized use and capacity utilisation of the CAD applications resulted in

a significant drop in licensing and maintenance costs. In addition, the solution established

logical cost transparency for all users.

The German federal state of Baden-Württemberg is more than just the birthplace of the

automobile. Here is where the first factory for solar cells was built and various innovations

in the computing sector take place. Baden-Württemberg is the state of hidden champions,

companies that are global market leaders in their fields. It continues to be at the forefront of

research in Europe.

All this is the result of the mentality of the people in the very region where we have our head-

quarters. People around here love precision. People here keep their word and life‘s motto is

„better is the enemy of good“. If there is a problem, people roll up their sleeves and solve it.

There is no stopping before a solution is found.

‚No can do‘ does not exist – this is our motto as well. As a self-confident, independent and

critical yet loyal IT service provider we don‘t rely on technological experiments, but rather

make a sincere and sustainable commitment to innovative, future-proof and practical

solutions – consistent, competent and customer-oriented.

Agile, thinking laterally and humane Our consistency leads to your success.

enough to be able to provide all kinds of applications. Cloud computing requires customer-specific

customization on one hand and an maximum degree of automation on the other. The customer-

driven, agile product development automaIT® provides precisely that.

been an owner-managed company. Totally untypi-

cal for our times, the company does without dept

capital and has done so since the beginning.

quarters in Leinfelden-Echterdingen near

Stuttgart as well as in our locations in

Munich, Frankfurt/Main and Jeddah in

the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Company

Always slightly ahead of the times

To be able to always offer our customers the optimal solution, we

have formed comprehensive strategic partnerships with several IT

companies – such as for example the most important vendors of SOA

software suites or, as in the case of codecentric, in the area of applica-

tion performance monitoring. We are also certified partner of dynaTrace

Consulting and a referral partner with a trainers license. As partner of

Scrum.org we are the first vendor of professional Scrum courses in German.

Of course we offer our Scrum courses in English as well. For AppDynamics we

are the exclusive reseller in the Middle East and Asia region. All these alliances

and partnerships ultimately benefit our customers.

We work closely together with numerous universities to ensure that our technology and

methods always reflect the latest standards. This benefits both parties. Our employees

introduce real-life IT challenges and mesh them with the theoretical foundations of uni-

versity education. In return, we have the opportunity to meet young talents, support them

during lectures, internships, bachelor‘s and master‘s theses and to excite them about the

prospect of one day working for us. At the same time this let us identify new trends at an early

stage, incorporate them into everyday life and this way shape technological progress.
