About us

Software that must not fail. Now with AI.

We build software for sectors where regulation is part of everyday work: critical infrastructure, medical devices and healthcare. Today we turn this into AI products for the public sector, healthcare and business, developed and operated in Germany.

History

From 1998 to today.

The EU AI Act is not new territory for us but a familiar pattern: understand requirements early, implement them properly and make them verifiable. That is what we learned in critical infrastructure and healthcare, and it is how we work with AI today.

  1. 1998

    The beginning, as the internet took off

    Starting out at 18 as a young computer scientist, in the middle of the dot-com era. Determined from the very first line of code to always use the latest technology.

  2. From computer scientist to entrepreneur

    Working for large corporations

    From IT consulting to management consulting for major energy companies. Consulting and development in SAP and mainframe environments, guiding clients through to ISO/IEC 27001 certification and developing digital medical devices for clients.

  3. 2018

    Our first AI

    First AI developments for energy suppliers: an AI customer service bot, pattern recognition with decision tree methods (random forests) and automatic sorting in ticket systems. Back then in a largely unregulated market.

  4. 2022

    Healthcare

    Software for pharmacies: more than 3,500 pharmacies are our customers.

  5. Today

    A software company focused on AI

    AI products for every organisation: Heimund, Nitavo and Hortmund, and for municipalities CiviPort and CiviHub. Project lead for the Smart Region AUF. Plus our Compliance Consult division for the safe use of AI.

Vision and mission

Trust by design.

Our guiding principle applies to every product and every project: trust in AI must not be left to chance.

Our vision

AI people can trust, in every organisation that works with sensitive data: at the town hall as much as in care, retail and the trades.

Our mission

We bring AI to where the work happens and operate it in Germany. With software that noticeably eases the workload, and with the documentation that data protection, information security and the EU AI Act require.

How we work

Principles you can hold us to

Clearly explained

We explain technology and law so that management, local councils and specialist departments can make decisions.

We use what we build

What we recommend, we have tried in our own projects.

Backed by evidence

Every engagement ends with a solid result: software with documentation that stands up to an audit. We know this approach from critical infrastructure and medical technology.

Open and honest

We publish our code so you are not dependent on us. And if you don’t need something, we tell you.

Compliance Consult

A division of our own for AI compliance

In our Compliance Consult division we bring together our experience from regulated markets. It offers training such as the AI Driving Licence, as well as consulting and governance for the safe use of AI under the GDPR and the EU AI Act, both for our own products and for AI from other vendors. In projects, partners for geoinformation, urban planning and remote sensing complement our work.
