Mastering complex data security challenges leads to praise and honor

During the analysis of the requirements for the challenging yet incredibly exciting project for our customer Galenica, I remember one thing very well: my colleagues from the OMrun-Team, Product Owner and consultant Frank Zeindler and consultant Oliver Schwark were not always very confident of meeting the client’s expectations and goals…
But then happened what happened before – they dug into it and researched and tried and failed and tried again and failed better – until the project goals were exceeded and everybody was ready to “let pop the corks”!

Take yourself a coffee or tea and enjoy the full testimonial Galenica’s data security standards with Delphix (four minutes read).

What wonderful words are praising the successful effort and achievements of the dbi services team – and every bit is well deserved!

What are the key factors to a project success?

For me, the major takeaway from this project – and from the overwhelmingly positive testimonial – is the following. (I admit, it’s not groundbreaking, but always good as a reminder.)
Because the key questions are: Why do some projects fail and others succeed? What are the key factors of a successful project?
I firmly believe that it is a combination of the following “ingredients” that lift teams from average to excellence project achievers:

• dedication
• curiosity
• creative problem-solving approach
• flexibility in an environment of changing goals and requirements
• in-depth technical expertise (yes, still needed, even in the times of AI…)
• willingness and ability to cooperate across team boundaries
• willingness and ability to listen and ask questions
• not to be discouraged by obstacles of any kind
• allow time for a good laugh

If all these requirements are met, the success of the project is not yet guaranteed – but it is very, very likely!
