“We investigate and measure the efficiency
of software development
and IT service management.”

Bernhard Groehl, Director

Who we are

We are an IT management consulting company founded in 2020. We are an experienced team of senior IT consultants. We worked in nearly all areas of IT and industries. Together we developed methodologies to capture and compare process efficiency in IT operations and IT development projects.

We developed a system to measure and capture complexity of applications and projects, based on a combination of Function points (FP), source lines of code (SLOC) and other accepted industry metrics.

  • DRAKE Process Performance Indicator (DPPI) Library

    We developed a nomenclature to place points of measurement into any ITIL (V2 and V3) based process and web them into standard IT key performance indicator (KPI) and reporting grids. It consists out of measurements, based on more than a million tickets.

  • DRAKE Application Landscape Profile (DALP) Library

    We have a database with about 14.000 application profiles. Each application profile has about 124 parameters, which capture: purpose, complexity, size, nature, incident behaviour, users, data model and efforts of administrative labour in person days (PD) associated for operations. These profiles contain data from “off the shelf” software, mobile apps and individual developed applications.

  • DRAKE Project Landscape Profile (DPLP) Library

    A growing number of projects is continuously captured and analyzed. Each project profile consists out of 278 parameters, which capture: complexity of the application before the project, estimated complexity of the change, as well as planned and final development days spent to implement in person days (PD).
