How do we work?

Our software engineers have a solid university or graduate degree in computer science, 5 to 15 years of hard, real-life industry experience and a healthy interest in the more advanced aspects of software development.

We swear by cross-platform technologies - and we practice what we preach. Our central Linux servers hold our source code repositories, issue tracking and time logging software while development and testing takes place on a mixture of Macintosh, Linux and Windows workstations. On each platform we use best of breed tools and environments.

Our ever growing library holds both the standard works in the field of computer science as well as the latest books on specific technologies. We use our internet connection to continuously track the latest developments.
