Digital Business models are one of the hottest topics discussed today. Strategy consultants, especially when having a background in IT see a lot to gain – for their corporate clients as well as for themselves.
When we started pliXos, our main goal was to come up with a solution to offer transparency in application development projects, mainly when working with a distributed team. As a result, an automated cockpit of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) was developed and offered to large and mid-size corporations as our Outsourcing Director.
