work. together. Working together means creating joint values.
Performance requires brainwork: creative, competent and collaborative. Individual heroes disappear. Together humans are more clever and faster than on their own. We network people, data and infrastructures. We actively encourage and facilitate this maxim - digitally and analogously, with our support, tools and passion.
The way we get to the future is the future we get.
Myron Rogers
The way challenges are dealt with determines how they are solved. Partnership, respect, loyalty to customers and colleagues are what sets us apart. We build the future in which we want to live today. This requires innovative power, courage, foresight, creativeness and empathy.
Freedom, equality, solidarity.
These are our most important values and part of the Beck et al. founding history. Profoundly European right from the outset, since 14th July 1989. This is not pathos, but a guiding principle we actively pursue in our work and our relations with our customers and colleagues.
Companies that migrate to Office 365 face two huge challenges: their employees need to suddenly use cloud services and, even more seriously, they need to familiarise themselves with some new collaborative work methods. Beck et al. will manage the entire migration for you and help to establish a mindset for digitally-supported teamwork to make use of all the benefits the new platform has to offer.
The Digital Work Hub is the first point of contact for digital work within a company. Like a competence centre, employees consult the hub, if they have any questions or need help with digital tasks. The Digital Work Hub provides information material, actively supports coaches and passes on experiences. A helpdesk designed as a walk-in lounge rounds off this digital means of entry developed by Beck et al..
We learn how to work digitally in a hands-on approach rather than in classrooms. First, we try things out in a protected environment (workout) before implementing our ideas into our daily work supported by colleagues who have a little more experience. Beck et al designs, coaches and accompanies this collaborative type of immersive learning. This way of learning ensures that digital work/behaviour is embedded very quickly into the ‘muscle memory’ becoming as automatic as breathing, swimming or putting one foot in front of another.
The Digital Maturity Check helps you identify where your company can start to improve its abilities in the fields of organisation, technology and data with respect to the digital toolset, skillset and mindset.
Maximise Multi-cloud Cost Optimisation and Cloud Governance
Beck et al., in cooperation with CloudHealth, provides three different plans, Basic, Pro and Enterprise, to streamline the management and cost of your company cloud whilst meeting organisational requirements. Not just any tool, we provide real service at all stages of your successful multi-cloud journey; from comprehensive on-boarding to continued guidance and recommendations.
Legacy IT is not always a bad thing. Just because services or applications are in the cloud does not necessarily mean that performance is better. We show you how to enter the cloud world and why this is worth your while – regardless of your starting position, but always with the goal of being as effective as possible.
Cloud computing quickly becomes unmanageable. If various services are procured from different providers, or are even mixed with on-premise applications, it is especially important that there are clear (central) guidelines and structures that ensure compliance with the rules. Thanks to its experience with many cloud projects, Beck et al. offers support on how to create solid structures without becoming top heavy.
Serverless computing and container virtualisation bring about very granular, independent and elastic components that behave like microservices. Business applications comprised in this way are also very flexible and can be easily modified. However, the development and operation of these many ‘moving parts’ pose huge challenges to companies. Our specialists help you to master them.
Hybrid cloud environments, i.e. a mix of IT infrastructures within the computer centre with infrastructures of various cloud providers, make the IT structure of a company more flexible, scalable and ultimately less expensive. But they are more complex. In particular, communication and collaboration effort increases. We can help you realise your ideal operating model for the hybrid cloud world.
Checking whether applications and cloud services, desktops and networks function smoothly is one of the more tedious tasks carried out by IT operations and the service desk. This task is only really smart, if the monitoring acts proactively and counters potential bottlenecks and malfunctions. It then has an actual impact on business because uninterrupted IT operations are much more cost-effective and efficient. Beck et al. makes your monitoring smart.
For some time, classic analysis methods and conventional algorithms have proven inadequate for publicly accessible information from social media and other sources. We simply cannot see the woods for trees. Beck et al. uses AI and natural language processing (NLP) to analysis this myriad of data and find out, for instance, what is actually being said about companies, trends, technologies and political decisions in social media.
This stands for artificial Intelligence (for) Operations. Similar to predictive maintenance, it monitors all operations in the company and predicts potential failures and bottlenecks so that corrective action can be taken before irregularities occur. Beck et al. helps companies to implement the monitoring system and also to define the relevant criteria.
The alarm bus is based on the intelligent security, analytics and monitoring platform Splunk. This Beck et al. cloud service provides an overview of the state of your IT landscape in real time, forecasts future system behaviour and, if there is a threat of nonconformities, it sounds an alarm. This service can also be used for machines and production lines that are connected to the Internet.
Digital transformation in the aviation industry: Evolutionary instead of disruptive
Beck et al. developed and implemented a concept for a large aerospace group that enables staff to learn digital work quickly and also spreads the know-how almost virally.
The digital transformation is in full swing in the agricultural sector, where several spectacular achievements have already been made in the field of digitalisation, including the digital service platform myKWS, which has been developed by the international seed specialist KWS SAAT. The platform is a prime example of a modern cloud project that ensures greater sustainability in agriculture. It just goes to show how a customer (KWS), cloud service provider (Beck et al.) and a provider (Amazon Web Services) can all work hand in hand to provide digital services to a large target market (farmers around the world).
ARDEX innovates with cloud-native solutions to support marketing activities
The ARDEX Group is a global leader of high-performance building products being present in over 100 countries across all continents, being one of the world’s leading suppliers of high-quality specialist building materials. One of the main challenges global enterprises as ARDEX face are the constant need to provide innovative solutions and disruptive technologies to better engage and serve customers, being them internal or external end-users. This is taken seriously by ARDEX, which partnered with Beck et al. in order to bring into life business ideas to better service customers as well employees.
The sugar beet grower Betaseed not only offers its farmers seeds, it also provides a wide range of web services that Beck et al. migrated in an optimum form into the AWS Cloud.
Operation Analytics: Finding errors more quickly by consolidating causes
Beck et al. installed an IT monitoring system that is able to identify errors ten times more quickly than before for a large automotive supplier that has a workforce of 70,000.
Work means cooperation – primarily between people, but increasingly also supplemented with software and robots. We empower people, tools, infrastructure and data for this integrated type of cooperation.
Making things happen. We roll up our sleeves and get started. This is how change is effected – by putting things into practice. It doesn’t matter how many presentations you make, action is what changes the world. What separates us from the rest is that we also take responsibility for implementation. Walk as you talk.
