Entwicklung eines Kriterienkatalogs für eine Katalogsoftware bei Fronius durch Anwendung von Requirements Engineering

Abstract

In today's era of digitalization, innovative procurement concepts are playing an increasingly important role in the business world. Both companies and their suppliers must adapt to these changes. One way for suppliers to respond to these procurement concepts is by implementing catalog software. This software assists suppliers in creating e- catalogs, which present product data in a structured manner and make it more accessible, thereby improving customer interaction. Implementing catalog software, like any software introduction, presents challenges for companies. Particularly challenging is often the collection of requirements for the software solution. Requirements Engineering (RE) plays a crucial role as it helps understand the needs and expectations of users and translate them into technical specifications. This thesis examines the RE process and its application in IT projects. In the empirical part of the thesis, the requirements for a catalog software at the company Fronius are collected and transformed into a criteria catalog. The methodology is based on a combination of literature research and qualitative expert interviews. The results of the study show how crucial a thorough requirements analysis is for the success of (IT) projects. Only known requirements can be correctly implemented. By applying RE methods, the functional requirements of Fronius were defined and translated into a criteria catalog.
