In More Detail

What's behind these topics?

Planning & Design

Before development begins, the right roadmap comes first.

Strategic Project Implementation
Go to Strategic Project Implementation →
Good digital solutions don't happen by chance - they're the result of careful planning. We take the time to truly understand your goals and sharpen requirements together.
  • Potential analysis and goal definition in the initial meeting
  • Requirements analysis with all stakeholders
  • Clear roadmap for scope, timeline, and budget
  • Fixed price on request, under a contract for work
Example: A trade business knows its time tracking needs to go digital, but not how. We clarify scope, budget, and timeline together before getting started.
Before a single line of code is written, the user experience comes first: wireframes, design systems, and high-fidelity prototypes in Figma, closely aligned between design and development.
  • User flows and wireframes for new or existing applications
  • Clickable prototypes for testing before development
  • Design systems for consistent interfaces across multiple products
Example: An existing desktop application feels outdated. We build a clickable prototype that users can test before development begins.

Web, App & Portals

From web applications to your own customer or employee portal.

Optimize your web presence with complex websites and tailored enterprise systems, built with Blazor for performance and maintainability.
  • Enterprise web applications with clear system architecture
  • Integration with existing databases and third-party systems
  • Responsive implementation for desktop, tablet, and smartphone
Example: A publisher needs a platform where customers can put together and download contract templates themselves.
App Development & Progressive Web Apps
Contact us about Apps & Web Apps →
Hybrid enterprise apps, PWAs, and web apps - design and development for iOS, Android, and the web, on a shared codebase with .NET MAUI.
  • One codebase for iOS, Android, and web instead of three separate projects
  • Offline capability for use on the go or on the job site
  • Installable without going through an app store (PWA)
Example: An association needs a membership portal that works on any smartphone without going through an app store.
We develop your custom portal solution using web and database development and project management, tailored exactly to your business requirements.
  • Self-service area for order status, documents, and requests
  • Integration with existing CRM or ERP
  • Role and permission management by customer group
Example: Customers should be able to check order status and documents themselves at any time, without having to call.
Internal portals for communication, tasks, and processes - content management systems and communication tools, tailored to your everyday work.
  • Central hub for requests, approvals, and news
  • Integration with Microsoft 365 or existing HR systems
  • Access from anywhere, including mobile
Example: Leave requests, approvals, and internal news come together in one place instead of via email and Excel.

Cloud, Data & Systems

Scalable infrastructure, and data made usable.

We support you in implementing highly scalable, fail-safe business applications on Microsoft Azure, including clean data models and low-risk migration.
  • Scalable infrastructure that grows with your business
  • Data migration with no or minimal disruption to operations
  • Backup and failover protection to Azure standard
Example: An existing system needs to move to a modern database without disrupting operations.
Migration and automation within your existing Microsoft environment - from a clean rebuild to the step-by-step migration of structures that have grown over time.
  • Structured migration of existing SharePoint environments
  • Automation of recurring workflows with Power Automate
  • Clean permission and folder structure instead of years of organic sprawl
Example: A SharePoint environment that has grown over time needs to move to Office 365 in a structured way, without losing institutional knowledge.
Your data becomes metrics that support decisions. We integrate existing ERP and CRM systems instead of letting data silos form.
  • Dashboards that answer the questions actually asked in everyday work
  • Integration with common ERP and CRM systems via interfaces
  • One shared data basis instead of conflicting Excel lists
Example: Sales and production are working with different numbers. A shared dashboard creates a single source of truth.

AI & Interfaces

So AI can access your systems securely and sensibly.

AI Strategy for Decision-Makers (Workshop)
Go to the AI Strategy for Decision-Makers page →
A workshop format designed specifically for decision-makers: before any technology is built, we work out together where AI really makes a difference in your business – and where it doesn't.
  • Half-day or full-day workshop with leadership and business units
  • Prioritization of realistic AI use cases instead of buzzword bingo
  • A clear next step: feasibility, effort, and budget range
Example: Management knows that "something with AI" should happen, but not what. The workshop produces a prioritized list of concrete, actionable use cases.
Digital assistants, embedded into your existing processes - GDPR-compliant, ISO-certified, connected to CRM, ERP, or Microsoft 365 where possible instead of replacing your systems.
  • Service assistant: understands requests, prioritizes them, drafts responses
  • Document assistant: reviews and summarizes contracts and proposals
  • Back-office automation: reads emails, transfers data into CRM/ERP
  • Data analysis: turning data into traceable decision-making support
Example: A service team receives a large number of requests every day. An assistant suggests suitable responses and hands off to staff when needed.
Controlled AI access to your own systems, plus classic interfaces to third-party systems where AI isn't involved yet.
  • MCP servers as a controlled, logged interface for AI access
  • Classic APIs for integrating third-party systems
  • Fine-grained permissions instead of full database access
Example: An AI should be allowed to query order data, but not access the entire database unfiltered.

Modernization

When existing software reaches its limits.

Modernize legacy software instead of rebuilding it - step by step with the Strangler Pattern, .NET & Azure, without putting ongoing operations at risk.
  • Gradual replacement of individual modules instead of a risky full rebuild
  • Migration to modern .NET and Azure technologies
  • Ongoing operations continue throughout the entire modernization
Example: A 15-year-old line-of-business application still runs, but no one dares to change it anymore. We modernize it piece by piece, while it keeps running.
