For two decades, we are comitted to provide excellent software solutions to our customers under the best possible conditions, as well as to significiantly improve the way we work and the results by steadily learning and researching.
To us, that means:
Our brand new flagship fairyloom delivers you your own individual software as a convenient, reliable and affordable service, which leaves you freedom of choice and of independence.
The one-stop-place to collect and organise your business designs within a team of colleagues and experts - and to take full control of obtaining individual software. Get your own board in the fairyloom shop.
Of course, we develop individual software solutions based on conventional specifications. We offer agile collaboration as well as traditional approaches - for many years, we are proficient with both.
Our consise and elegant concepts have been regularly appreciated by our customers. We offer pin sharp analytical capabilities as well as sustainably economic designs - but first of all: we try to listen.
Coding is our passion. We collected experiences in many IT areas, like databases, frontends, logic, automation, language crafting, services of all sizes, processes, scripting, artificial intelligence and system administration. We also would like to code for you!
Symbolised by our faithful and charming mammoth, EM/OS, the Enterprise Model Operation Services, is a collection of highly innovative and mature open source components. EM/OS is the rock-solid reliable foundation of our services.
Over the last two decades we continously researched new ways of specifying and producing software. The result is EM/OS, the businessboard, and finally fairyloom. And we keep on researching.
While software development is much about understanding, collaboration, learning and experience - sometimes it's just magic. We also collected knowledge in some less widespread areas, like artificial intelligence, cryptography and embedded systems. This is not our core offering, but you are welcome to ask.
