What

Append your IT expertise with projects

Consulting is our way of sharing experience project-based.

Through our various roles in our professional careers, we have found that we can evaluate and assess new technologies and methodologies. Furthermore, we are able analyze existing technologies at upper and lower levels. We like solving existing problems and answer questions through our analytical skills and are very happy to share our knowledge with interested people.

Reducing time to market

Software development is a broad field. With us, your software development team has a sparring partner for architectural and technical issues at your side. We improve your software product's development lifecycle. With our measures, we reduce your software's time to market.

Minimizing operational risk

We ensure that your software not only works locally, but also in operation. With our experience in operating software, we recognize and point out measures at an early stage. This minimizes your operational risk.

Laying a foundation and helping with decisions

We proactively inform you about new products, risks and strategies for operating your software products. You can focus on implementing new features for your customers, while we are keeping care on the technical topics. We do not sell bleeding edge technologies, but solutions that prove themselves in the long term.

We do not presume to know everything - but we have already seen some. We categorically rule out problems that are below Layer 3 or at the hardware level. For some cases, we are a good fit, in other we might fit. In the end, it always depends on the specific case whether we can help.

Showcase

See some of our awesome projects

Our clients are coming from a wide range of industries in the private and public sector. A common denominator of the companies working with us is a high priority of data protection and data security, traceable decisions, clear documentation and open and honest communication. We have worked with clients of all sizes, from a 3-man team to companies with 10.000+ employees.

IT-Communication Company

Implementation of a cross-plattform build process

To reduce the time to market for a client in the IT communications sector, we defined and implemented a CI/CD environment for cross-platform builds (x64, armhf, arm64). New releases are automatically delivered to the client's support platform. Features and critical security updates for all processor architectures are now available in a fraction of the previous delivery time. A human interaction is no longer needed for delivering new releases.

Shipping Company

Development of a Apache-Kafka messaging enviroment

We architected and implemented an Apache Kafka-based messaging environment to receive live GPS signals from all ships of a shipping company. Our expertise in Apache Kafka was a requirement to solve the issue of processing the amount of ingesting data.

Automotive Company

Designing a Continuous Architecture AWS enviroment

With our approach, we defined the AWS environment's architecture, implemented CI/CD processes and advised the software development teams in software architectural and IT security related topics. Our involvement solved technical problems and led to a clear and unified software architecture.

Government

Adminstration of a highly regulated Kubernetes-Cluster

For a government entity we administered an RedHat OpenShift-based environment. The whole environment was strictly regulated due to the high requirements of data security. We implemented CI/CD processes, and did the 3rd level support for the internal DevOps team.
