Who we work with

Why Now

The Longer You Wait, the More Your Old Systems Cost.

When systems still work, replacing them is easy to put off. But workarounds pile up, complexity grows, and even small changes take more time and money.

  • Legacy Systems Are Your Most Expensive Employee

    • 71% of CIOs report their AI budget will be frozen if legacy blockers aren't resolved by mid-2026
    • Only 74% of EU businesses reach even basic digital intensity. Far below the 2030 target
    • Every patch increases fragility and slows your teams further

    40%

    of European IT budgets consumed by technical debt

  • Building In-House Takes Too Long and Costs Too Much

    • Average internal software build: 18 months to market. Competitors ship in weeks
    • Germany alone: 137,000 open IT roles. 85% of companies report insufficient talent
    • The EU talent gap costs an estimated €750B in missed economic opportunity

  • The Right Architecture Delivers Results in Weeks, Not Years

    • Europe's digital transformation market grows at 28% CAGR. Reaching €519B in 2026
    • EU target: 75% of companies using cloud, big data, or AI by 2030
    • Companies that modernize early capture market share. The rest play catch-up
