Why we are different
In our opinion, software engineering requires an integrated understanding of
the people involved, the requirements, the architecture, design and code as well
as of processes and tools.
Through our continuous commitment in a number of Open Source
projects, in which we co-design and take responsibility, we satisfy
this demand. This supporting leg in the Open Source world brings us into contact
with a huge variety of people and their software demands. It makes us more
sensitized to a wide spectrum of requirements.
We consider the Open Source eco-system and particularly the one in the
environment of Enterprise Java as a giant building
set. Thanks to this building set, we have successfully completed many
projects over the course of the years. In the meantime, this building set now
comprises a huge selection of methods, concepts and technologies:
