IT Infrastructure Planning
A well-planned IT infrastructure enables organisations to operate efficiently and effectively by providing a stable and secure environment for existing systems and seamlessly supporting the introduction and integration of new technologies. As your competent and reliable partner, RISE will guide you through every stage of your IT infrastructure project. Our expertise ranges from initial strategy consulting and detailed market research to comprehensive infrastructure concept development, careful planning and successful implementation.
Planning and optimising IT infrastructures is a complex task that requires a deep understanding of both current requirements and future developments. Our approach at RISE combines precise requirements and a clearly defined common goal to develop tailored solutions that provide a robust and future-proof foundation for our customers' IT operations.
With our extensive in-house expertise in various IT areas and our proximity to research, we are able to meet even the most demanding technical challenges. From the initial idea to go-live, we are at your side throughout the entire process. Through effective requirements management, we translate our customers' vision and business needs into concrete technical specifications, with our experts taking on different roles as required to ensure the success of your project. Together, we lay the foundations for focused infrastructure planning and effective consultancy.
Tailor-made IT planning - flexible in line with customer requirements
RISE's IT operations focus on the design of customised IT systems. These systems are specifically designed to integrate customer applications and software into RISE's managed services. This includes both the central platform in RISE's data centres and customer-specific installations on site.
Unlike more generic offerings in public clouds or other highly standardised environments from multiple vendors, RISE is highly flexible in terms of integration and implementation. This flexibility allows us to meet individual customer requirements and effectively integrate specific use cases. The RISE philosophy is always based on a comprehensive end-to-end view of customer requirements and customised or flexible solutions within the RISE standards. Our comprehensive portfolio of infrastructure, platform and software-as-a-service solutions is designed to reduce time-to-market, lower total cost of ownership (TCO) and significantly reduce implementation effort.
IT consulting - meaningful and at eye level
RISE specialises in the implementation and operation of complex and security-critical applications. The variety of technologies and tools in the enterprise and open source environment is enormous and seems to offer an adequate solution for every problem. In reality, we often see a proliferation of tools and systems, as well as established shadow IT in organisations. As a trusted partner, RISE supports you with its experience from numerous projects, research and IT security with IT consulting at eye level. Technologies and tools should be used purposefully and sensibly in your company, uncontrolled growth and shadow IT should be eliminated and your employees should be optimally supported by technology. The definition of a future-proof IT strategy and governance for your company and the optimal support and improvement of your business processes through tailor-made IT systems are also part of RISE's expertise.
Support with the introduction of cloud services and DevOps
RISE has its finger on the pulse, but does not blindly follow every hype! The introduction and use of cloud services - both cloud technologies and cloud services as a managed service at RISE, on-premises at the customer or at other (public) cloud service providers - can bring many benefits to companies and customers under the right conditions. However, the adoption and integration of these services always brings new challenges for organisations.
From security, data sovereignty and data protection to the need to adapt existing operating processes, there are many aspects to consider when introducing cloud services. As a competent partner in these areas, RISE supports you in the introduction and integration of cloud technologies and services in your company, as well as in the establishment and adaptation of your operating and development processes. This also includes support in introducing DevOps mechanisms to increase the quality, speed and stability of your applications.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it?
Even if a legacy system is still functional, it may pose a security risk, slow the pace of digitalisation, or drain your IT budget with increasing maintenance and support costs - even if it still serves its purpose. But not every migration strategy is right for every legacy system. Every legacy system also holds great value for your business, and every line of code contains decades of knowledge about processes and specifics. We appreciate the value of legacy systems - "we fix it without breaking it".
