Our mission
We create and support IT solutions based on open source that are perfectly tailored to your needs. We transform technically demanding concepts into an easily usable form without losing sight of the end user’s perspective. In doing so, we never let our customers down – that is our motivation and our goal.
In order to meet our own demands, our team is highly trained, informed about current developments, certified and continuously educates itself. If we don’t know something, we invest in knowledge building. We work exclusively with open source software ourselves. We give developments back to the community. Our principles are:
Open source first.
Everything from a single source.
Security by design.
Partnerships & Collaborations
Projects in IT are interdisciplinary – depending on their nature and size, we work with specialists from a wide range of fields. When choosing our partners, we are always objective and independent. We not only know the industry and the companies, but also the employees of our partners from personal experience.
