Where we add value

When collaboration is not working.

A good contract is the foundation. What matters is what happens next: collaboration, quality, decisions and actual performance.

01

Performance falls short

Agreed services are delivered, yet important goals are not met.

02

Ownership falls between teams

Internal and external teams work alongside each other instead of together.

03

Cost and quality do not align

The price is visible. The actual contribution remains unclear.

Organise collaboration

Who takes responsibility for each task?

We clarify the skills you need, where your team works and who makes decisions.

01

Suitable IT partners

Compare partners by experience, skills and ways of working.

02

Locations and automation

Allocate work across teams and identify tasks suitable for automation.

03

Clear responsibilities

Define roles, handovers and decision responsibilities.

04

Performance and budget

Assess quality, deadlines and costs together.

Lupus & Company provided close support and advice throughout our nearshoring strategy. Thanks to the consultants’ sound, practical experience, we successfully transitioned several IT services to nearshoring. Lupus & Company helped us choose the right shoring models, procure them and implement them within our organisation and processes.

Claudia MoserHead of ITNetze BW GmbH

We were glad to have an impartial, experienced professional supporting us, from product strategy and selecting the best partner through to managing implementation. Alexander drove the project forward very pragmatically, enabling us to launch the platform successfully at the end of April.
