You‘ve recognized the problem from your perspective? You‘ll find the solution on the next page.
Speed vs. sound planning
You would gladly implement the requests from your busi-
ness departments faster, but your IT department always
has a resource bottleneck. IT projects are expensive and
risky. The details of requirements often turn out to be more
complex than they seem. That is why you place so much
importance on a sound detailed concept. Things that seem
like just a small change for the business departments often
have far-reaching effects for the IT department. The risk of
a bad development or costly changes is ever present in your
mind and with it the wasting of time and expensive resour-
ces.
The gap between IT and the business departments
You are aware that not all of your employees can be as com-
mitted as they would like to be and that a significant source
of potential lies idle. You are constantly hearing that ideas
cannot be implemented. The business departments comp-
lain about the slowness of IT, and the IT department comp-
lains about concepts that are not thought through enough
and unread specifications. There have already been many
attempts in your company to bridge the gap between IT and
the business departments. Nothing has had the desired ef-
fect yet, but you still have to solve the problem.
THE CHALLENGE: HOW DO YOU KEEP YOUR EMPLOYEES‘
MOTIVATION AND COMMITMENT HIGH?
Demotivation and resignation in the work environment
You know your customers‘ requirements and the processes of your business very well. However, in your opinion, many
ideas and optimization potentials often fail due to an IT department that is too slow. Tedious projects and planning phases,
complex presentations of the facts and the risk of major time and budget expenses do not create the environment you like
to work in. You settle for suboptimal processes, knowingly work in an inefficient manner and allow one or the other idea
to fizzle out.

Quickunderstandingresultsinacreativeenvironment
With Metasonic you can easily develop IT applications
yourself, because the description language is easy and
intuitive. With approaches such as a modeling table and
tangible building blocks (Metasonic® Touch) you can easi-
ly design your own applications. You can immediately test
the applications with the help of your coworkers. You can
easily implement changes, and once the processes corre-
spond exactly to your needs, you hand over the model to
your IT department to be integrated into the system envi-
ronment. And even then you can still always easily change
things.
Fast and precise specifications
With Metasonic you can rule out the risk of a bad deve-
lopment. Detailed concepts that are neither read nor un-
derstood by the business users are history. Instead, the
business department now provides you with an executable
application whose business logic was already carefully va-
lidated by everyone involved. The use of Metasonic leads
to a significant reduction in the work load and allows you
to quickly and precisely implement the wishes of the users
with their feedback.
ITandthebusinessdepartments:easyunderstanding
With Metasonic you create an environment in which IT and
the business departments understand each other. The busi-
ness users develop the applications they need, and the
results are so precise that the IT department can immedi-
ately begin integrating them into the existing system envi-
ronment. Specialized or detailed technical concepts are no
longer required. Instead, the application can already be ex-
perienced by its future users during the design phase. This
creates an exchange between IT and the business depart-
ments that is based on actual experience. An unusually fast
implementation of changes and ideas leads to a high degree
of commitment from your employees.
