SV Informatik: Meisterplan as the Basis for Project Planning

The Company

SV Informatik GmbH

As a technological market leader and a 100% subsidiary of a state-mandated insurer in Germany (SV SparkassenVersicherung), SV Informatik provides individually tailored IT solutions to insurance providers. With five locations in Mannheim, Dresden, Kassel, Stuttgart and Weisbaden, a total of 450 employees are shaping the future of online solutions for public property and life insurance.

The Challenge

Missing Overview of Projects and the Distribution of Resources

• No overview of new and current projects or resource availability.
• Project processes can often not be clearly understood, and new project requests cannot be clearly answered.
• Several data sources and different handling of project and resource-related information impair the data quality and make it difficult to obtain and process information.
• While the customer determines the prioritization of projects, this must be approved by management, which requires a transparent overview of the relevant topics.
• For the strategy program, a process is needed to collect the projects and information and present them in a clear roadmap.

The Solution

Meisterplan as a Common and Clear Source of Information

Meisterplan gives SV Informatik a uniform basis for project planning. By integrating decision-relevant criteria, such as project dependencies and strategy dimensions, projects are better prioritized, and management and the board have the ideal tool for economic planning.

• Meisterplan acts as a uniform database, consolidating data in high quality.
• The various views in Meisterplan help to precisely map projects and workloads, staff employees according to ability and capacity, and clearly assign responsibilities.
• Since project processes can be easily traced in Meisterplan, it is easier to decide whether to integrate new project requests.
• Strategic focus topics can be mapped in separate portfolios, which helps management with prioritization.
• All information relevant to the strategy program is mapped in Meisterplan including projects, plan scenarios, resources, dependencies, KPIs and associated strategy dimensions.
