Core activities

Consulting: intellectual capacity

Our management and business consultants have a wealth of experience and know their clients' business inside out. They apply their thinking skills to client issues to assist them in making strategic choices and defining their policies. They offer their opinion on re-organisations and business process restructuring. Aside from in-depth sector knowledge, our people also have the expertise to supervise large-scale change processes. The advisory services provided by our business consultants pave the way for the technological solutions that support these changes. Our architects translate strategic corporate targets into efficient business and IT architectures and work processes and then design the appropriate information provision systems.

IT: development capability

Ordina's IT activities hinge on creating forward-looking applications and their integration into existing IT infrastructures. We specialise in a number of leading-edge technologies for both customised applications (Java, Microsoft.Net and Cobol) and business applications (SAP and Oracle). We concentrate mainly on activities that require client and business knowledge. The expertise that we contribute lies mostly in the initial stages of a project (analysis and design) and in the final stages (testing and implementation & integration). Development capacity is contracted on a flexible basis as far as possible. Long-term shortages in system development capacity are covered by offshoring some of the work, while remaining responsible for the delivered results.

Outsourcing: organisational skills

We take on programme or project management where clients outsource the bottom-line responsibility for a development or management project. We use standardised working methods that revolve around transparency, consistency and predictability. We also recycle knowledge and components to accelerate lead times and improve the quality of the deliverables.

At Ordina, we manage business-critical application platforms for our clients, taking ownership of the efficiency of systems and any future-oriented adjustments to them. We offer both package and customised solutions. Our specialists provide guidance and support in every aspect of systems management and maintenance and in most cases, take over the role of the client's IT department to a large degree.
