bc business solutions | estimation of software costs

Realising and placing substantial software projects represent an important investment risk. The longer, more complex and more comprehensive the overall project, the more important it is for the decision maker to ensure planning security from the outset.

Measurement: We identify the functional range by function points analyses and furthermore measure other influencing factors on the projects' success. Explicit and reproducible measuring results which can be used for cross-project comparisons, follow from these innovative and certified methods. Our metrics provide a reliable framework for organisation, classification and assessment of IT-projects.

Development efforts: We project abstract functional ranges onto real development efforts and implementing costs. Profound analyses of planning processes and expert talks reduce the insecurity of statistically established mapping standards. Our differentiated project characteristics are based upon an expert system which lives up to any individual case.

Tenders: We appraise external tenders and test them for their functional range and their feasibility within the given budget.

We make costs and efforts transparent and thus create investment and planning security. Feel free to contact us.
