Working together

How we work with you

Start small, clarify risks early, then build. Every phase ends with a result you can use to decide whether and how to continue.
Three phases
Duration and outcome of each phase at a glance.
01
Consulting & architecture
We help you set technical direction, plan modernization and make decisions about systems, architecture and build vs. buy.
Duration
From one week
Outcome
Decision paper with architecture, options and effort estimate
02
Prototyping & pre-study
Focused investigations of concrete problems. We map systems and interfaces, build clickable prototypes and assess what an implementation takes.
Duration
Typically 2–6 weeks
Outcome
Clickable prototype, risk assessment and a solid implementation plan

Example: our one-month AI sprint with Telefónica.

03
Engineering & operations
We design, build, integrate and run systems in production: web and mobile, backend, AI software, data engineering, design systems and platforms.
Duration
Months to years
Outcome
Software in production, documented and ready to hand over to your team

As a project under our responsibility or embedded in your team, as with ImmobilienScout24.

Contract models
Two ways of working together that we practice with clients today.
A project under our responsibility

We take on a clearly scoped project from architecture to production and hand it over to your team, documented. That is how it went with Blue Elephant Energy and with the coupon tool for MediaMarktSaturn.

Embedded in your team

Our engineers work as part of your product development, not as an external vendor. That is how we have worked at ImmobilienScout24 since 2022 and in the IT organization of badenova.
