Our guiding principles
Customer oriented
Our focus is not the customer but rather their productivity. Thanks to more than 25 years of experience, we know the business processes in the automotive, aircraft, mechanical and plant engineering, shipbuilding and medical engineering industries like the back of our hand and can provide our customers with all the support they require for their digital transformation.
Vendor neutral
Our independence provides the foundation for services that focus exclusively on the benefit they provide to the customer. We work together with not just one, but rather all major PLM providers and technological leaders and can therefore always offer you the best solution to meet your particular requirements (or solve your particular problem).
Security conscious
As a service provider to leading manufacturers in the automotive and other industries, our top priorities include the protection of customer data and the security offered by our IT solutions. We are one of just 800 German companies – and one of the first in our industry – to be awarded ISO 27001 certification. We don't just talk about security, it is an integral part of everything we do.
Diversity
Our top values are reliability and loyalty to our customers, partners, and employees. With open-mindedness and the integration of people as a spirit of our company's DNA. We employ over 300 people from more than 20 different countries. Diversity and inclusion are very important to us. Gender, ethnicity, religion, political views, or other forms of heritage are not important to us. We believe that everyone deserves the same opportunities regardless of their personal characteristics and private background. We offer a working environment that is open-minded and free from discrimination.
