Xume, Software Service Provider

In the context of a concrete project assignment, Xume uses two modules, which are tailored to the customer and adapted to the concrete needs of the project.

Xume proposes the co-sourcing model, where the client has an idea, a question or a need for a specific solution, but has too little or no in-house experience to carry it out. In that case, Xume acts as an all-round partner who manages and develops the project together with the client, in an incremental, iterative manner, with the client and Xume both contributing added value to the process. This working method offers a solution to the problems that outsourcing can entail, such as a lack of visibility and monitoring, knowledge transfer, etc.

The greatest advantage of co-sourcing is the close collaboration with the client, which means that the client is very close to the project, being able to monitor the process, having control. Xume also ensures that, if desired, the customer can take over the running of the project at the end of the assignment for any further extension and/or changes to the system. This way, opting for co-sourcing also means choosing a cost-efficient and goal-oriented approach.

As an alternative, using the classic consultancy model, a Xume consultant can work as part of an existing project team, and the consultant is brought in because specific know-how is required. The project is managed entirely by the client. Xume provides external know-how and experience to strengthen the project team. Problem solving, expertise, coaching and knowledge transfer are the key words here.

Both Xume models are based on 3 pillars:

1. Know-how with Java™ technology and open source software;
2. Understanding of the market and the customer's needs;
3. Experience in the field of consultancy and project development.

Besides the development of concrete projects Xume also offers support in the structuring of the IT department, above and beyond the various IT projects. Also in the field of IT management and software development processes, there is a rapid evolution which Xume is monitoring.

The concrete experience of Xume consultants on various projects and for various companies is very valuable. In addition, as Xume partners, they have concrete experience and are interested in various aspects of business management. In combination with a pragmatic, no-nonsense approach, this technical management profile provides the ideal combination to assist you with IT management, or the creation of a specific competence center or a software architecture team.
