Tool without consulting concepts

“Thank you for paying for our tool licenses every month.
You can now easily manage the trivial rest on your own.”

We are certain that your challenges will not be solved simply by purchasing a tool.

That’s why we advise you on your specific challenges with our concepts and accompany the necessary organizational change so that the tool deployment results in real improvements.

Consulting without implementation

Just as a tool alone cannot create the necessary transparency, it cannot provide advice alone.

Because if the concepts developed cannot be implemented immediately, sustainable application is questionable. This is one of the reasons why renowned consulting companies cooperate with us.

The "best of breed" tool approach

There is a tool provider for every aspect of developing and managing an IT organization.

If you follow this approach, however, you get lost in a plethora of tools and system breaks and run the risk of losing information or only obtaining it with redundant effort.

Increased use of resources

Nearshoring, offshoring and recruiting can only help in the short term.

In the medium term, however, resources often disappear into a “black hole” and the financial scope becomes narrower without the initial situation improving significantly.

The path through the valley of tears

If you have a clear target in mind, it is tempting to set off.

However, the difficulty lies not (only) in the definition of clear requirements, but above all in their implementation.

With the help of an expert, this process can be shortened, which not only saves financial resources, but above all also intellectual resources.

Do not provide resources

Like any other project, the introduction of Bee360 needs to be staggered and financed.
But why use resources here in particular?

Quite simply, with our implementation projects (rolling planning, EAM Fast Track…) you ensure that your resources ONLY flow into the most important activities and at the same time increase the performance of your organization.

If you put this off while the competition becomes ever more effective and efficient, it will become increasingly difficult to keep up.

Over 20 years of commitment to CIOs and digital leaders

All Hands 2024

Since he couldn’t find anyone on the market who shared his vision of software and customer-centric consulting, he founded Bee360 (then still Clausmark).
In over 20 years of close collaboration with customers, the unique symbiosis of the Bee360 platform (information) and the holistic BeeCore management model (interpretation) was created.

But for a real transformation to succeed, the third and most important success factor must also be taken into account: people. Because real transformation can only happen if the right stakeholders work together enthusiastically ! To ensure this, our consultants are specially trained for the associated change and its communication.

You too can benefit from our unique combination of platform, management model and coaching and start your journey to digital transformation like around 80 customers a year.

Bee360: Where data, people and success meet

CIOs, digital leaders and analysts know Bee360 as a reliable partner for increasing IT maturity and holistic digital transformation. But how does a Karlsruhe-based niche player with just under 100 employees achieve what international corporations with many times more resources fail to do?

The answer begins with the story of founder Sönke Claussen, who discovered his passion for technology at the age of eight on the C64 and earned his first money at the age of 16 with a 386 by creating individualized tables and billing forms. It was then that he realized the added value that relevant, structured information offers users.

In the course of his computer science studies, he deepened his passion and realized projects in the field of data analytics for a software manufacturer. He realized that it was not enough to simply provide the customer with information  The actual added value only arises through the interpretation and derivation of consequences.

Many tool vendors focus on selling you tool licenses and leave it up to you to bring the tool to life.

“You can get a lot of good ideas from many consulting organizations. What is often lacking is execution. Bee360 makes execution possible.”Uwe HeroldSenior Vice President Information Technology, Miele Cie. KG

There is a tool provider for every aspect of developing and managing an IT organization.

If you follow this approach, however, you get lost in a plethora of tools and system breaks and run the risk of losing information or only obtaining it with redundant effort.

Increased use of resources

Nearshoring, offshoring and increased recruiting can provide short-term relief.

However, in the medium term, it often turns out that these measures alone are not enough to solve the underlying problems.

Instead, the additional resources often disappear into a “black hole” and the financial leeway becomes increasingly limited – without the actual starting situation improving significantly.

Try it yourself

You are an expert in your IT organization and know exactly how things are done. So it makes sense to take the optimization into your own hands.

However, the challenge with rolling planning is not only excellent execution, but also improving governance within and outside the IT organization.

In this area, it takes a long time for the organization to move and even longer to learn through feedback.

Now is not the right time

There will never be the “perfect” time to start implementing Bee360. But putting it off won’t make your challenges any smaller – on the contrary:

The earlier you start with the introduction of Bee360, the better you can allocate your resources to the most important activities and increase the performance of your organization.

Future activities will also benefit from this!
