Basis for the assessment

For the rating amongst the top quadrant, ISG sees our novel, innovative approach to software development as a central factor: ZEISS Digital Innovation focuses on digital projects creating a synergy effect between external customers and the ZEISS business units.

Moreover, our process-oriented project management with a focus on high-quality software and safety is emphasized. The work with agile and DevOps models as well as well-coordinated, highly qualified teams further add to the reasons for the excellent rating.

ZEISS Digital Innovation adopts an innovative synergy methodology for its projects and as a result achieves clear added value for the customer. During our analyses, we were unable to identify any company so far that has taken a similarly innovative approach to the project as ZEISS Digital Innovation.
