Cirquent Service Design – the right start for successful application operations
Outsourcing applications and complete application environments – for a bank this is only successful if there is a clear objective and a predefined path.
“Cirquent Service Design” is a standardized service package. Banks can define suitable innovative IT services to meet business-side requirements - from the definition of the service catalogue to the design of the service processes, service organization and service levels, to the design of the service quality assurance.
Banks gain a clear view of the operational services including general and application-specific aspects and this is the optimum starting point for the tender process (RFI/RFP), the selection and valuation of service partners, as well as the seamless preparation and execution of the transition – whether for a single application or for a complete application environment.
Oversee legacy systems in a more efficient way – more time for innovation

Our innovative and proven transition concept develops trust, guarantees acceptance, and reduces risks. „Cirquent Best Ager IT-Solution“ increases the innovation capability of banking IT and improves flexibility – whilst safeguarding regular operations.
Test optimization
Even though it is one of the most important components in the software development process, testing is usually given too little priority. Experience shows that due to time or budget constraints, testing rarely receives the attention that would be required for a quality result.
There are many reasons for this:
- The test is “recreated” for each individual project,
- Existing standards have not been implemented sufficiently,
- Test automation is never used – mainly for reasons of scale.
In our experience, a stringent test process improvement and suitable test automation can save costs of up to 25%.
Cirquent works according to the Test Performance Improvement (TPI) method. Our test model achieves the following benefits:
- Implementation of a standard method across all development projects in the company, consultation and optimization in a company-wide test process
- Achievement of scale effects in test automation
- Top Test Professionals certified in accordance with ISTQB, and Best Practice approaches from many different software development projects. .
