Local and Regional SMEs
In today’s software enabled world SMEs have commonly developed their own home-grown software systems acting as either proof-of-concepts for new business ideas, or supporting business operations. As companies grow, new requirements become more relevant, such as the ability of their software system to scale in order to deal with a growing number of clients, or opportunities to increase business performance by better use of digital technologies, such as microservices, devops, cloud computing and Internet-of-Things, to name a few.
As part of its expertise, ASERG contributes to the Digital Innovation for Growth programme and can provide businesses with consultancy services, such as:
- Business Process Management;
- Software system design and architecture review;
- Development methodology review and assessment;
- Review and design of software reengineering projects;
- Designing and assessing digital transformation projects;
- IT infrastructure and cloud computing solution design, review and assessment;
- Support in the use of best practices related to software testing, devops and microservices.
