IT Competence Beyond Coding
Founded to deliver more than just software, NWS.engineering provides strategic IT expertise across public institutions, law firms, industries, and educational organizations. Headquartered in Germany, with a strong presence in Switzerland and Northern Italy, we support clients across Europe – offering flexible, scalable project roles, and deep domain knowledge.
Our services extend far beyond implementation. We specialize in IT strategy and due diligence, (interim) project management, requirements engineering, security by design, and key project roles across the IT lifecycle – all grounded in method-driven collaboration. Whether advising EU institutions and public authorities, supporting digital strategies in higher education, or working with law firms and industrial clients – we help turn complex challenges into measurable results.
By combining technical excellence with a deep understanding of processes, compliance, and stakeholder needs, we enable our clients to make confident, future-proof decisions.
From analysis to architecture, from feasibility to rollout – we’re your partner for intelligent IT execution.
The Reality of IT Projects — And Why Expertise Matters
According to the Standish Group’s CHAOS Report, only a minority of IT projects fully meet their goals. Time and budget overruns, missing functionality, and failed launches are common across sectors.
Only 31% of IT projects are completed on time, on budget, and with the required functionality.
52% of IT projects are considered “challenged” — meaning they exceed time or budget, or deliver less than expected.
17% of projects fail outright — they are canceled before completion or never go live. The cost of failure is high.
Main Causes for Project Failure
..are not technical issues, but structural ones. In particular:
- 1
Poor or unrealistic project planning
Unrealistic timelines and budgets often lead to project derailment early on.
- 2
Unclear or frequently changing requirements
Frequent changes or missing clarity create scope creep and misalignment.
- 3
Lack of stakeholder engagement and communication
Without continuous stakeholder involvement, key risks and needs are missed.
- 4
Insufficient risk and scope management
Failing to identify risks early and control scope leads to budget and timeline overruns.
- 5
Security and compliance considered too late
Late integration of security causes costly rework and compliance issues.
- 6
Missing technical documentation and traceability
Incomplete documentation makes maintenance and auditing difficult.
And How We Address Them:
Clarity from the Start
We define clear, stable requirements through structured workshops, stakeholder interviews, and documentation — reducing scope creep and ambiguity.
Structured Project Management
We apply proven methodologies (Agile, V-Model, hybrid) with risk-based planning and strong governance to stay on time and budget.
Transparent Communication
Regular syncs, clear documentation, and decision tracking ensure stakeholder alignment across teams, management, and partners.
Security & Compliance by Design
We integrate security, compliance, and traceability early in every phase — avoiding costly rework and ensuring long-term sustainability.
