pliXos GmbH

pliXos SaaS tools increase productivity and governance in every phase of a distributed application management project. A B2B marketplace offers users transparency and security. Problem: • There are often problems within internal or external (outsourced) software development projects with respect to quality assurance and meeting project deadlines, especially in case of distributed teams (offshore/nearshore). Concrete planning (incl. realistic goals) and especially subsequent monitoring of the results are often not achieved. Solution: • The Global Sourcing Platform (with tools such as Outsourcing Advisor, Tender Manager and Outsourcing Director) standardizes and automates SW- and IT-Outsourcing such as software development and thus significantly reduces the project costs and duration with a major improvement in quality. • The automatic capture of critical parameters of the development process enables a central performance based management of outsourcing projects. The tools support all the phases of a project from planning and implementation till continuous monitoring. • The extension into a B2B marketplace for SW services is launched. Technology/ IP: • The platform is based on established Open Source components and proprietary development that allows quick implementation, flexibility for future extensions and guaranteed investment protection. • The market synergies are optimally exploited and a platform based on SaaS reduces entry barriers and operational costs to customers. • The tools cater to every phase of an outsourcing project: analysis and assessment (Outsourcing Advisor), automation of a tender process (Tender Manager), standardization and automation of the operational implementation (Outsourcing Director), and continuous improvement (Benchmarking).
