We work in partnership and with passion to create sustainable solutions

Every project request is different, which is why we don't believe in a "one-size-fits-all" approach. Instead, the initial phase is all about getting to know you and your requirements.

Our goal: Real support for your company⁠
This means that we also critically question the specific ideas and wishes expressed at the outset based on the principle: "Is what you’re asking for really what you need?" To do this, we assign colleagues who are not only technically experienced, but who also understand the (operational) commercial issues and the business processes.

Individual interaction instead of endless slides
You won't catch us using endless off-the-shelf Powerpoint slides. We prioritize discussions and workshops – and, if it makes sense, we will develop initial prototypes or small-scale studies for you.

Our key questions at the start of the project:

• What needs to change for the business to be more successful in its particular area of concern?
• How do we make sure this change happens?
• How do we continuously monitor whether we are still on track to achieve this goal?
  

The work on each project is different and our toolbox of methods and technologies is extensive. These are some of our principles and guidelines:

We think client
All of our consultants are committed to ensuring that the solution we create adds value to your business and, in particular, to its stakeholders. This is why we endeavor to gather feedback from all project participants from an early stage – especially from the users of the application – and to continuously solicit this feedback. Our approach also involves going live with an application as fast as possible (often after just a few weeks) so that it can provide benefits and start a feedback cycle.

It also means that we constantly check every new requirement or idea to ensure that it is valuable and useful. While this may sometimes prove challenging for everyone involved, it always leads to better results.

We are well acquainted with cutting-edge technologies.
Whether in the cloud or on-premise (in your own data center), our solutions are always up to date and as advanced as the situation in your organization allows and the application requires.

Automation is an important goal in every respect, whether during testing or for delivery (deployment).

We develop and leverage networks of expertise.
All our consultants at codecentric have the opportunity to dedicate a part of their working time to further training (DE), ensuring that we stay abreast of the latest technologies and methods.

Our fast and informal internal communication means that all our employees have access to the accumulated knowledge of all their colleagues. Are you looking for specialists for a brand new "managed service" in the cloud? We are sure that we have people who have already gained experience with it.

Meetups and the sharing of experience (DE) enhance our network and encourage us to keep learning.

We use targeted methods
Software development is much more than just about coding and goes far beyond technology. Product management, UX thinking and innovation management are also part of our method toolbox. We are happy to help your company develop and optimize its own processes and methods.

We favor discovery and validation methods, which means, for example, that we use creative techniques to generate ideas and then test these ideas using appropriate methods. We know that, since we are not the users of an application, we cannot really judge which idea is of value, and your project team cannot accomplish this on its own either. This process must involve the users of the application.

Software is never “finished” even if some customers sometimes expect it to be. If it is to be of long-term and sustainable benefit, it needs to be maintained. Why is this?

• There are often requests for changes.

• Interdependent systems evolve.

• Or our lawmakers come up with something new. 

• And let's not forget the constant risk of attack by hackers, which requires ongoing countermeasures in the form of updates and adjustments.

• Any new processes established between the business department, development, and operations also require support.

Knowledge transfer
We don't leave anyone out in the cold. The ideal scenario is for us to implement projects in collaboration with the relevant stakeholders within the organization, thus ensuring that we transfer the necessary technical and methodological knowledge from the outset. We are able to supplement this with other forms of knowledge transfer, such as documentation, workshops, and training.

Our goal is always to make ourselves redundant over the course of the project so that you can maintain the application and the processes on your own.

Maintenance, support and operation
If this is not possible or desired, we also offer long-term support where we assume full maintenance and care of the system and, if desired, also take over its operation.
