Don't hide behind complexity
Since our establishment in 2015, we have positioned ourselves as trailblazers in the realm of digital and technological consulting. Our primary focus is on crafting the future through adept management of digital transformation and technology.
What we do
Software engineering made in Germany, since 2015. We assess software projects, provide technical leadership on demand and advise supervisory boards on IT risk. On top of that there is JiCo, AI assistance for Jira and Confluence that redacts personal data before the model sees it.

How we work
Foundation
Everything as Code
The repository is the single source of truth, including database schemas and the API gateway specification. Everything reaches the surrounding systems through the CI pipeline.
Extension
Start Left
We work in the repository from day one. Requirements and documentation are created there and grow with the project from the first day. The True North and the non-functional requirements live there too, as plain text in Markdown.
Guideline
Agentic Coding
Agentic coding built on software engineering governance. The aim: efficiency, maximum output and assured consistency, even in complex environments.
