People for software

We create software to deliver value.

In modern companies, software is increasingly the central resource. It coordinates workflows, controls production processes, ensures data consistency, and enables seamless access to services and products for customers and partners. Software connects and integrates diverse processes not only within a company but also links companies with each other, transforming individual services into value for society as a whole.

At the same time, software is one of the most complex constructs humanity has ever created. As digital transformation progresses, many are becoming aware of how demanding software engineering really is. This makes choosing the right partner all the more important. Only a few IT consultants have the necessary experience and deep expertise to protect companies from costly mistakes.

Our mission is to bring clarity and quality to digital transformation. With profound expertise and years of experience, we help you find the best path forward and develop solutions tailored precisely to your company that generate lasting benefits. After all, every piece of software should ultimately create real value for your company and, in the end, for society as well.

What We Stand For

  • We are IT experts.

    linked-planet is an alliance of qualified IT experts with complementary focuses—IT strategy, project management, architecture, and development. Each of us offers you many years of experience in the fields of automotive/e-mobility, insurance/finance, or industry.

  • We are consultants.

    We build successful IT organizations, analyze and design solutions, and communicate these effectively to your team and stakeholders. We do this cross-departmentally if needed, up to the C-level, with empathy and social skills. We do not consult just for the sake of consulting. Our consulting work is always followed by immediately functioning software.

  • We are software developers.
    We write code.

    We do not view "coding" as a low-level activity. Everything discussed at a high level must ultimately be translated into executable code, no matter how many boxes are drawn in the enterprise architecture diagram or how many fancy marketing buzzwords are added to the mix. In the end, it's all about the code.

  • We are domain experts.

    To create solutions, we need to understand the business domain thoroughly. That's why we do not believe in outsourcing. When we create solutions, business knowledge is translated into a formal language that leaves no room for uncertainty. And this process always starts with limited knowledge.

  • We believe in technology,
    but we are pragmatic.

    We have often experienced the enormous advantages of "teching up"—switching to more modern technology. That's why we are always open to new or different technologies and ideas. We see them more as opportunities than as risks. We believe that an idea only becomes a risk if it turns out to be a bad one and is still pursued. That’s why we are very critical when introducing new technologies. Does it actually meet our own expectations? This approach allows us to be innovative without bringing risks to projects.

  • We are "Full Stack".
    We strive for full product responsibility.

    When you create a product from start to finish, you weigh every decision even more carefully. Every decision made during the development of one component can impact others in the system. That's why it requires someone who keeps the overall picture in mind!

  • We respect each other.

    We believe that respect is the foundation of good teamwork and a positive social environment. Respecting others means considering their opinions as well. It means trusting each other's abilities and judgment. We want to work with people we can trust, who enjoy their work, and who enhance the team's performance.
    Our most important principle: "Attitude" > "Skill".
    Always.

  • We believe in open source.

    The value we and our customers create lies in tailored solutions that cannot be bought "off the shelf". Reusable, purely technical components are provided as open source to improve quality and be part of a larger community.
