We practice an open communication, are proud of our products, but also do not hide our current weak points:

Here are a couple of points you should know about us:

• We have a 10+ year old web application and a 35+ year old Windows application, and you will have to manage some remaining legacy issues. A focus is currently on reducing technical debt and accelerating our development, while maintaining quality.

• We are also developing one of the most successful native mobile applications for iOS and Android, in the school organization sector.

• We have ambitious goals and need your help to achieve them together as a team. In some areas of cooperation, be it communication, processes or structures, we have not yet reached the level where we would like to be, but we are already on a very good path.
