Consulting

From 11 to 13 February 2025, the energy industry will meet at E-world energy & water in Essen. mgm consulting partners will also be there and together with our partner Enerlabs, a provider of an innovative software suite for municipal heat planning, we look forward to discussing the challenges and opportunities of the energy transition with you.

Antje von Garrel, AI expert and manager at mgm consulting partners, and Jan Jikeli, Head of AI at mgm group, discuss what is really needed for AI to deliver strategic and operational success. Organisations must no longer view AI as a mere technology or tool, but as an integral part of their strategy, processes, infrastructure and culture.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly important in everyday life. Companies and public administrations will not be able to avoid it this year either. AI solutions can be used in various areas - however, this requires a stringent strategy for the introduction of AI and the identification of use cases through to technical implementation. In particular, the use of AI in low-code environments is currently the subject of much discussion.

The introduction of the information register under the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) poses significant challenges for many companies. The new requirements of the European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs) force financial institutions to maintain a complete and regularly updated directory of all ICT-related contractual agreements. The associated efforts in terms of time, personnel and data management are enormous – but there is a solution.

In software development, agile methods and well-thought-out project management are often crucial for successful teams and projects – this applies to our customers as well as to us. As part of a recent training session with our colleagues at mgm technology partners, the topic of ‘Agile & Scrum Best Practices’ was highlighted and the participants had the opportunity to gain deep insights into agile frameworks, in particular Scrum.

Adapting processes and structures is essential to remain competitive and to meet changing market requirements. By implementing SAP S/4HANA, companies can make these necessary adjustments effectively and sustainably, thus improving decision-making and optimising the use of resources. The ADDVALUE framework provides clear orientation in the transformation process.

Recently, our Austrian colleagues Karin Gruber, Yvonne Danzinger and Thomas Brugger were interviewed for the DIE MACHER podcast. The focus was on the question of how companies can gain a competitive advantage through the use of artificial intelligence and how best to get started.

In recent years, almost all companies have embarked on the path of agility. While some have driven this change quickly and decisively, others have taken a more cautious and gradual approach. Almost every company has either hired scrum masters or agile coaches internally or utilised external experts. The demand for these specialists has been and continues to be high - no wonder, given that it is a demanding and responsible task.

The modernization of specialist processes in public administration is essential in order to successfully meet the requirements of digital transformation. Increasing digitalization, demographic change and the need for new operating models all require outdated processes to be redesigned.

Erfolgreiche S/4HANA-Transformationen sind kein Zufall! Merle Best und Tobias Richwien teilen ihre Erfahrungen aus ganz unterschiedlichen S/4HANA-Projekten und zeigen, wie entscheidend gutes Projekt- und Programmmanagement für den Erfolg ist.
