How we think
- Good consulting is measured by the feasibility and effectiveness of recommendations.
- We believe that in the age of digitalization, the rules of economic success are being redefined.
- We help our clients understand these rules and derive growth opportunities. Digitalization is not an end in itself, but a means to an end.
- Digitalization requires companies to transform their organization. We accompany our clients on this journey by defining new ways of working and testing them in daily business.
- To ensure understanding and acceptance of change, we develop concrete measures in close collaboration with our clients´ teams. On an equal footing. Without consultancy affectations.
- We master core competencies that enable growth in the digital age: Technology understanding, business model development and marketing expertise.

Pricing digitaler Produkte im B2B
Software-Angebote weisen nicht nur in technologischer Hinsicht im Vergleich zu Hardware-Produkten völlig andere Charakteristiken auf, sondern bieten auch Chancen für neue Geschäftsmodelle mit wiederkehrenden Einnahmeströmen wie beispielsweise Subscription-, Community- oder Pay-per-Use-Modelle. Das primäre Ziel bei der Entwicklung oder Änderung eines Preismodells ist immer die Steigerung des Ertrags oder der Marge eines Produkt-/Serviceangebots unter der Nebenbedingung, dass die damit eventuell verbundene Kostensteigerung durch Mehrleistung überkompensiert wird.

Lieferanten sehen sich in ihrer Existenz bedroht, weil sie Kostensteigerungen nicht weitergeben können oder dies aufgrund vertraglicher Vereinbarungen nicht dürfen.
