Strategic roadmap advice  

As your strategic performance management partner, we work closely with you to provide the insights needed to make the right choices. When crafting the ideal roadmap, we consider multiple factors: the possibilities of the latest technology, the needs of your business, and how systems like EPM, BI, and ESG integrate into your IT landscape.

By leveraging our expertise, we drill down to the core of your business needs. We assess technical possibilities and analyze how changes impact your applications and IT landscape. 

We help you decide whether your current application still fits your requirements — or if it’s time to explore new solutions. If so, we help you scan the landscape, connect to the vendor and ensure you choose the right software followed by a smooth transfer and set-up. In our independent Solution Experience, you and your users can test-drive different performance management applications. 

How does lifecycle management work? 

In a constantly changing world, staying up to date is essential. Today’s applications are all in the cloud, bringing their own challenges. We ensure the continuity of your application and optimize your landscape to meet your organization’s evolving needs. 

As we have in-depth knowledge of your landscape, processes, and business needs, we can advise you on your strategic lifecycle roadmap. Together, we build a clear path forward, ensuring your tools deliver value at every stage.

Visual Life Cycle Management

The trends in lifecycle management  

Performance Management is evolving. Once the domain of finance, Performance Management applications are now used across the entire organization. This expansion comes with new modules for BI and ESG, the latter driven heavily by regulatory requirements. As BI, ESG, and EPM become increasingly integrated, these tools offer more comprehensive insights and integrations than ever before.

Add to this the fact that software vendors update their roadmaps with new releases and end-of-life deadlines for existing tools. Deciding whether to stick with your current platform, upgrade, or switch entirely is no small task. Together, we’ll navigate these changes to ensure your applications keep pace with your organization’s ambitions.

From deployment to DevOps   

Seamlessly extend your team with our specialists to match the expertise you need, exactly when you need it. This way, you avoid investing in in-depth knowledge that’s hard to find and only required temporarily.

Deployment, development, and operations are a continuous process, delivered by one team. In our flexible model, we scale up quickly, ensuring you always have the right capacity. And because you only pay for what you need, your extended team remains cost-efficient.

Visual Beyond the waterfall

Go live in 3 months

Waterfall locks you into a rigid plan. Agile skips the upfront thinking a complex platform needs. We combine both in our Beyond the waterfall approach: a solid fundament, built out in feedback-driven sprints, run by the same team that keeps the platform running afterward. Most projects reach a working, deployed milestone within three months.

 

“Whenever we have major changes, we really appreciate the opinion of the experts of Swap Support. There is truly a relationship of trust, I'd like to take future steps together with Swap Support as well.”
