A-Z: Membrane
Membrane
A membrane is a separating layer, a thin skin. Membranes can be thick, permeable, and semipermeable (selective for certain substances). Without semipermeable membranes, life in its current form would not be conceivable because every biological cell is surrounded by a membrane and must let certain substances pass through the membrane. As a living, open system, we also profit from exchange with the environment.
The Right Fit
Every customer is different. For this reason, we create an individual solution for every customer.
Individual solutions demand attention: we look at the current situation together and define the desired situation. Our solution will then precisely fill the gap between both. It is the puzzle piece, the "plus X" that is missing for 100% functionality.
A-Z: Open Systems
Open Systems
In both system theory and physics, open and closed systems are differentiated. A system that can exchange both energy and matter with its environment is open. Social systems consist of communication, which permits this exchange. A self-organized system changes its basic structure due to its experience with the environment. The interacting participants act according to simple rules and thus create order from chaos. New, efficient structures and behaviors arise. Open systems are living systems. They are capable of learning, changing, and further developing in an evolutionary manner.

A-Z: Zukunftsfähigkeit
Future-Proofness
Especially in information technology, we have to observe the developments precisely and be reach for paradigm changes at any time. Action is important. People who only react do not have enough time to act. Being future-proof means anticipating changes and shaping the future actively.

A-Z: Source Code
Source Code
Source code is the program code of a software product written in a programming language. To some extent, it is the blueprint of a software program.

A-Z: Knowledge Efficiency
Knowledge Efficiency
Knowledge efficiency means exploiting your own technological and intellectual potential and using it in a constructive, target-oriented manner. This also includes treating existing knowledge lastingly,exponentiating your own knowledge with others, and guaranteeing a stable transfer of knowledge.
Knowledge that you do not share and pass on can be lost. The Chinese, for example, were already using bulkhead construction to protect ships against sinking in the fifteenth century. A method that was forgotten and then reinvented in 1866. The wheel literally had to be reinvented, as the saying goes.

A-Z: Linkage
Linkage
Relationships, connections, interrelations, contexts, glue-between: it is no longer just about things. It is about the communication between various elements, the linkage of information, the creation of relationships, the relatedness of things to each other. It is no longer just about technological backgrounds, but rather technical solutions. No long about products, but the standards that allow the free flow of information.
People, thoughts, and systems network with each other, learn to talk to each other, and exchange information.

Responsibility
Acting responsible means seeing yourself as part of a whole and also feeling responsible for this whole. We feel responsible for our products. How do our solutions prove themselves in everyday use? Does everything work as desired? What can we improve?

A-Z: Transparency
Transparency
Translucent, see-through, clear: faults cannot hide where transparency rules. An advantage for you. As a customer, you have insight into our work at any time, like in a glass workshop. In continuous status reports, we keep you informed about the status of the developments. You receive the source code for the solutions we developed for you. We can afford this transparency because we do excellent work.

A-Z: Service-Oriented Architecture
Service-Oriented Architecture
Service-oriented architecture is a concept for a system architecture in which functions are implemented in the form of reusable and technically independent and loosely coupled services. Independent of the respective technological background, the services can be called via interfaces. Service-oriented architecture makes it possible for companies to combine divided software systems, make their business processes flexible and changeable, and enable a quick-reacting mapping of changes. The interoperability is guaranteed with Open Standards.
