Hello.

We develop digital solutions with expertise based on open source solutions and with a focus on accessibility, data protection and sustainability.

Did you know? We are the good ones. Nice to meet you.

As an independent service provider, we implement solutions exclusively as free software (free and open source). This means that our customers remain independent of manufacturers and free to choose their service provider.

We offer consulting, development and implementation of sophisticated web applications. We also offer services in the areas of operation, conception, design, usability, training and education.

 

Solutions and services around open source software

  • Requirements engineering
  • Consulting
  • Project management
  • Concepts
  • Expertise
  • Orchestration of solutions
  • Agile development

 

Support & development of free software

You are also welcome to commission us to organize professional support for you for free software products. Our involvement in the open source communities has formed a network of highly specialized people and friendly companies.

To this end, we have organised ourselves into different business areas, which we briefly present below.
