The auto parts maker Continental sees its future as a software -Pionier. Already 11,000 of the approximately 200,000 employees working in the field of programming. One goal:. No more road deaths

Continental sees its business model in front of a fundamental change. “Software is the new wheel industry. Almost nothing turns without them,” CEO Elmar Degenhart said on Thursday at the meeting in Hannover. “The car will soon be part of the Internet. We are firmly convinced.”

So far, half of the profit depends on Conti on the tire business, which threw more than 48 percent of the total operating profit last year. In future, however, will the digital transformation also bring completely new sign for the services and product range of the auto supplier said Degenhart told shareholders.

Apple iPad: Software Error ensures start delay of aircraft – CNET.de

Anja Schmoll-Trautmann at 29th April 2015 , 19:32 clock

Many American Airlines flights have been delayed due to a software error on iPads. After an upgrade of navigation maps apparently fell of the Apple tablet that can be used in the cockpit for flight management tasks screen out.

Because of a software error on iPads have dozens of flights of American Airlines delayed. So Bill Jacarusos not lifted off plane because successively failed the tablet displays of pilot and copilot. About Twitter passengers reported as their experiences.

The Verge quoted a spokeswoman for the airline American Airlines: “Some flights are affected by the problem with a software application on the pilot iPads. In some cases, the plane had to return to the gate, to access a Wi-Fi connection and correct the errors. We are working to bring the machine as soon as possible on the way. “

” a few dozen flights “referred Another speaker and assured that the problem detected and found a solution for it was , The software and navigation maps for crashing pilot iPads were provided according Quartz Jeppesen, a subsidiary of Boeing.

2012 was American Airlines, the approval of the US air traffic control FAA, iPads in all phases of flight from gate to gate use as Electronic Flight Bag, thereby reducing the paper burden on pilots. This name refers to the traditional pilot case (english Flight Bag) with large documents such as operating manual and navigation maps and weighing up to 18 kilograms. In electronic form on Notebook or tablet, the documents may be kept weight-saving, as well as the software allows automated functions such as power calculations.

If European airlines are as Electronic Flight Bags have long notebooks and tablets running Windows XP in use, while the operator demonstrates to Apple’s iPads remained skeptical as consumer products. Lufthansa chose now to replace their existing systems through Microsoft’s Windows Tablets Surface Pro 3. For this is the software giant provides over 5000 devices.

Quarterly figures: Software AG delivers a better than expected – Wirtschaftswoche

After selling the business with consulting for SAP software, Software AG has performed better than had been expected by analysts. The profit decline was slowed down.

Software AG has slowed the decline in earnings at the beginning only thanks to the weakness of the euro. Earnings before interest and taxes fell in the first quarter by four percent over the previous year period to 29.3 million euros, as the software company announced on Wednesday. Without the foreign exchange gains in business outside the euro zone, which accounts for nearly two-thirds, the operating profit would have decreased by 17 percent. Last year’s figure, however, is still the meantime sold business consulting for SAP software.

The share nevertheless increased by up to 3.4 per cent and was thus Leader in the TecDax. Firstly, the quarterly figures were not as bad as feared. Secondly, the Darmstadt had announced on Tuesday night that they feed 7.9 million shares, whereby the share capital reduced by more than nine percent. That leaves investors hoping for more dividends. In addition, the company is to be authorized at the general meeting on 13 May to further share buybacks.

“17.004424778761”

“4.3185840707965”

The IT group must continue zuzukaufen, in order to grow.

The authoritative for the Board performance indicator, the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, increased by five million euros to 48.1 million euros. As adjusted for the SAP business turnover of January fell slightly to March to 194 million euros, the operating margin improved to 25 percent.

Analysts polled by Reuters had expected weaker numbers of Hesse that since more than three years against the profit shrinkage fight. For the sales they had expected 192 million euros and EBIT of 26.8 million euros. CEO Karl-Heinz Streibich pointed out that the maintenance revenue increased to 100 million euros, which was the share of recurring revenues increase more than 50 percent.

The Software AG is after much hesitation to the trend towards rental software on the jumped Internet and hopes that the cloud business a boost. The first important products can also order as a cloud version of the client now. Over the next eighteen months the entire portfolio will be available. “This is a firm commitment,” Streibich said.

Software from the Web: How the middle class of the cloud benefits – Business Week

Sven Hansel

Small and medium sized businesses now use on a large scale on-demand software from the cloud. Niche suppliers from Germany are increasingly able to benefit from it.

André extinguisher business “beat the fast eat the slow” as he says. His employer, the medium-sized Green Building Group expands each year 200 to 250 energy-efficient prefabricated houses in Germany, continuing, according to Credit Reform last around 21 million euros. “If customer inquiries by e-mail come in, one must no longer be a week’s time, since the answer must come immediately,” says marketing director extinguisher.

For a software system for customer management provides. It includes the sender using the postal codes from the responsible sales manager, so he has the request immediately on the desk. Just as quickly, new employees as users can be integrated, because the software is cloud: That is, it is operated via an Internet browser, requires no installation, but running in data centers, external service providers. For this reason, neither for the software use even more for care and maintenance programming work required.

Pros and Cons of Cloud Computing

• Cost

  If a company does not maintain its customer database in your own data center, but uses an online service such as Salesforce.com, it saves investment in infrastructure. Billing is also usually staggered, for example, according to the number of users or memory usage. Business customers hope to gain significant cost savings.

• Scalability

  “11”

  If you rent space in the network can flexibly respond to the demand and increase the need for simple and fast or sink. For example, if a startup is growing rapidly, it just moves up the capacity. . Thus, low fixed costs incurred

• simplicity

  The installation on their own computers is eliminated. This makes it possible to introduce a new system very quickly. Also the updates be no problem, so the administration expenses down. . However, the cloud services usually can not as individually configure

• location independence

  To use the cloud services employees need is an internet connection -. regardless of their location and the device they use

• Security

  The data service providers advertise that they intensively with the IT security deal than individual users or companies. However, the data centers of cloud providers are also an attractive target for attackers by hackers because of the large amount of data. In addition, is difficult to understand from the outside, whether the provider adequately protects the data from its own employees. Outsourcing thus represents a loss of control.

• dependency

  Many companies depend on their service because they can not switch easily to another provider. This is about the fact that they have to adapt their systems to the complicated interfaces. Also, users often have difficulty if they wish to change their data the provider. Another question: What if the operator of a service goes bust? Only when there are standards, which allow to change from one to another service dependency.

decrease

Software, you can retrieve the rent from the Web, now also comes in small and medium-sized companies are increasingly going. “For the first time there are more supporters and skeptics; the use of cloud computing in business continues to increase, “says the Cloud Monitor Digital Association Bitkom March. Even in smaller businesses with 20 to 99 employees, the proportion is already at 41 percent. On the supply side set in the business with SME customers thanks to the privacy debate alongside American IT giants like Amazon or Microsoft increasingly niche suppliers from Germany by. Because they work under the local data protection.

Better fully encrypted

“The issue today is not whether, but how the middle class cloud computing uses,” says Heiko Henkes, cloud expert when market observers Experton Group of Kassel. Be sought, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises providers that offer the product cloud “worry-free”, ie as complete packages that have integrated the software itself backups up to the Privacy everything.

In addition, companies do not want to bring the full IT, but individual operating units in the cloud. “It starts with the e-mail management to personnel management to the telephone system,” says Henkes. What is needed are ad hoc applications where the cloud using the permanently installed in the enterprise software is superior.

More companies purchase computer performance from the cloud. While brake safety concerns and unclear legal regulations the move. The revelations of Edward Snowden but have done little damage

In order for the SMEs not only want to reduce costs, but work at the same time flexible and -. Such as the prefabricated house specialists Green Building – modernize processes. “Our employees sitting with tablet or laptop while customers at home and can no longer say, ‘Well, I write everything on me now, calculating it by tomorrow at the office and sign up again’ The time now is all done on the spot.” says manager extinguisher.

The company is counting on freelancers, working with our own equipment and a variety of operating systems. Therefore Green Building uses a cloud customer management system from Microsoft. This runs on any browser, regardless of operating system, and does not need to be installed. “Our internal IT resources we have that can not lift,” says extinguisher. “And in terms of safety, we rely on Microsoft’s reputation.”

IT failure in the Job Center: The software was to blame – Heise News Ticker

(Image: BA)!

<- RSPEAK_START ->

The faulty network component was apparently not sufficient to guarantee IT problems responsible for the Federal Employment Agency, a week ago. On Tuesday led a failed software update failures.

The massive IT issues at the Federal Employment Agency (BA) in the past week was not just a faulty network component due. The BA had the nationwide system failure and explained by a context of a major software update over the weekend excluded from it. But that occur after the exchange of network component on Tuesday logon problems central services are due for information heise online at the software update.

Software update was to blame

“The occurred on April 21, 2015 login issues at various IT applications were not related with network problems from the previous day, but were caused by the new program versions rehearsed over the weekend, “it says in an internal opinion of the” Generalbevollmachtigten Information Technology and Process Management “of BA, the heise online is present.

On Monday, the data access were nationwide in the Employment Agencies and Job Centres failed. Employees had to be sent to the part of home. Also, the site of the BA could not be reached. This was caused by a failed network component according to the BA. For diagnosis had “the individual network segments gradually switched off” must be, according to the internal paper.

Manual reload

But even as the network ran again that the employees did on Tuesday initially unable to access central services. The “power of distributed PCs with the new versions of the program” weekend “successful only to a small extent,” reads the statement of the Generalbevollmachtigten. The problems were then resolved “in the course of the day” by the user have downloaded the update each independently. A BA spokesman confirmed the heise online and stated that only “at about 10 percent of desktop PCs forced the need for follow-up care.”

BA employees and customers report that, according to the commonly weekend installed updates regularly to prevent disturbances, although not as severe as in the past week. “In a highly complex IT landscape for up to 100,000 employees can access the same time, can not be excluded that in spite of all quality assurance measures unforeseen problems occur,” the spokesman commented. “Of course, the new versions of the IT proceedings before the face introduction be tested.”

Long story

Affected is the new system “Allegro” on the BA since August 2014. and surrounded by all Hartz IV cases. Allegro is a development of the BA, which developed the T-Systems and supervised “A2LL” to replace. Allegro, the BA promises a “stable performance, significant reduction in the costs of operating, maintaining and further towards A2LL” to react and the flexibility “timely” to legislative changes.

Through to complete conversion of case management to the new system, which should be completed in late June, A2LL continues to run in parallel. Then A2LL am only partially available. A2LL has a long history, beginning with the late launch in 2004. The beginning still involved in the development Prosoz GmbH is too late or almost under the wheels. (vbr)

Which program is your highlight?

EU parliament developed package for “PGP-like” and refers to the software … – Netzpolitik.org

Last week, we have reported that has happened in the European Parliament since the beginning of the NSA affair little in terms of IT security. We now publish the entire letter from the Directorate-General for Innovation and Technological Support (DG ITEC), which shows how attempts instead to refer to the PGP “internal encryption methods of Office, and PDF 7zip”. Basis of the letter is a request to install GPG4Win on a computer within the EU Parliament.

In its interim report DG ITEC had pointed out that one could roll-out of PGP and SMIME-based encryption and signing start once. “The need is there and available licenses” In the present we answer – which emerged significantly after the preparation of the interim report – that sounds different:

Currently, there are no right “out-of-the-box” solution for your request. A package for PGP-like software is currently under development to enable the integration in the default configuration. But we were still on information from the services involved in the technical issues.

Aside from the question of what should be “PGP-like software”, is also doubtful, as the mates with the previous interim report. The suggested at least a somewhat more advanced state of work.

DG ITEC advises, with the “internal encryption” of Office, and PDF 7zip to provide remedy in the meantime. For this, however, we must replace a password – orally. Unfortunately, we can already imagine how that happened over unsecured telephone lines

But DG ITEC proposes, in addition to using Office, 7zip and PDF, yet another workaround before.

[...] z. B. to install the software on the second partition of the laptop because this action does not require administrator rights. In practice, there are a few restrictions that make the proposal incompatible with their work in the office.

The operating system on the second partition can not connect to the internal network of Parliament. Both methods have their strengths and weaknesses and “their reliability depends on common sense and good behavior.”

English full text

For the time being there is no Suitable and standard “out -of-the-box “solution for your request. A package for a PGP-like software is currently in development in order to make its Possible integration into the standard configuration but we are quietly awaiting informations from the services Involved in this technical issue.

Nowadays, we can only propose workarounds – ie installation of the software on the second partition of the laptops: because this action does not require administrator privileges but it has some constraints in practice making this proposal incompatible with your work at the office: because the operating system on the second partition is not allowed to connect on the internal network of the EP, but It May fit your need for encryption if this need is not systematic.

There are some alternative, some are available on our system, Although They do not follow PGP’s principle of asymmetric cryptography. I can mention the built-in encryption methods in office, 7zip and PDF. In the case of built-in encryption (and this is true for asymmetric encryption), the transmission of a “key” will be Necessary – it can be a password (provided verbally), or certificates (electronic files, Usually sent by email of mobile storage devices like USB keys), the password can be trans- mitted verbally while the certificates (or encryption keys) can not: because They are too complex.

Both have Their strenghts and weaknesses and Their reliability therefore depend on common sense and good practices.

Industry 4.0: Trump is considering the App Store for industrial software – Reuters

Stocking deputy leader Peter Leibinger

The digitization is a building block for the industry, said Leibinger

Ditzingen In the context of the increasing digitization of industrial production, the machine manufacturer Trump is considering a platform for software by. “It takes cloud platforms that are safe,” said Trump’s deputy leader Peter Leibinger Deutsche Presse-Agentur. He does not want to leave that IT companies. “We see this as an opportunity for trump.”

The term industry 4.0 hides the increasing digitization of production. This refers to communication between machines, but also the use of robots and devices that carry information about their processing chips with him. The development makes greater use of software and the exchange of data and in production needed.

The digitization is a building block for the industry, said Leibinger. “We will never allow that we are marginalized for hardware manufacturers.” At the same’ve stocking as a leader in manufacturing technology and a shared responsibility in the German industry. “It is the question of whether the” winner-takes-it-all “mechanism in the IT industry has been in this case. We simply do not know. “

software is in mechanical engineering and production already in use for years. But often it is tailor-made custom-made for individual companies. A data exchange would help much, Leibinger said. “It is interesting if it can be worked factory across.”

Industry 4.0

• Many see the networking of the factory as the fourth industrial revolution – after the mechanization with hydro and steam engines, of labor mass production assembly lines and introduction of electronics and IT

• For the networking of the production is frequently used the term industry 4.0 – Hannover Messe made the term popular a few years ago. Experts speak of cyber physical systems, ie in which physical and virtual world mingle. If objects are linked, is also on the Internet of Things speech – this applies not only for plants but also for cars or houses

Because industrial manufacturing and IT are merging more and more, the industry is an important customer for the IT industry: You now contributes about one fifth of sales at how the industry association Bitkom tells. It is no wonder that the organization at the industrial fair is present.

• Politics also measured the topic great importance to the federal government considers Industry 4.0 in its high-tech strategy as “future project”. Good for the Economy and Science: This includes a funding of 200 million euros

• The breakthrough of industry-4.0 technology is, however, still outstanding. Not least because many questions remain unanswered. What standards apply? Which communication networks are needed? As it is with the safety of the plants?

“There are in sheet metal manufacturing so-called box tools for the optimal arrangement of parts on a metal sheet, “he said. “We offer such programs. But we can imagine that a marketplace such programs to significant customer benefits leads, “Leibinger said. “We can imagine that it takes an open platform to enable new business models -. For example, in the form of apps”

“We can imagine, so as to build a kind of App Store for sheet metal fabrication “Leibinger said. That is far more complicated than offering smartphone apps. “If we offer services that lead to a crash in a machine that costs considerably more than if an app brings a smartphone to crash.”

In such a marketplace is likely hackers can not access. “Secondly, I must be sure that my data nothing is done, what I do not know,” says Leibinger. This trust will trump met with, which had shown the establishment of the company’s bank. Trump has founded the Institute in the past year to help customers finance machinery.

Industrial Software: Ditzinger machine builders trump suggests App Store before – Stuttgarter Zeitung

From SIR / dpa 25th April 2015 – 09:46 clock

machines are networked, it requires software. Which could be offered a platform as apps for smartphones, proposes Trump Vice Chief Leibinger – and brings his company in position.

Ditzingen – In the context of the growing digitization of industrial production. thinks the machine manufacturer trump after more than a platform for software. “It takes cloud platforms that are safe,” said Trump’s deputy leader Peter Leibinger Deutsche Presse-Agentur. He does not want to leave that IT companies. “We see this as an opportunity for trump.”

The term industry 4.0 hides the increasing digitization of production. This refers to communication between machines, but also the use of robots and devices that carry information about their processing chips with him. The development makes greater use of software and the exchange of data and in production needed.

The digitization is a building block for the industry, said Leibinger. “We will never allow that we are marginalized for hardware manufacturers.” At the same’ve stocking as a leader in manufacturing technology and a shared responsibility in the German industry. “It is the question of whether the” winner-takes-it-all “mechanism in the IT industry has been in this case. We simply do not know. “

software is in mechanical engineering and production already in use for years. But often it is tailor-made custom-made for individual companies. A data exchange would help much, Leibinger said. “It will be interesting if it can be worked factory across.”

“There are so-called box in sheet metal processing tools for the optimal arrangement of parts on a metal sheet,” he said. “We offer such programs. But we can imagine that a marketplace such programs to significant customer benefits leads, “Leibinger said. “We can imagine that it takes an open platform to enable new business models -. For example, in the form of apps”

Anti-virus software and Apple’s protections for Mac OS X useless – Heise News Ticker

None of the tested anti-virus solutions for Apple’s OS X prevented the installation of a programmed for test purposes malware

According to a security researcher, it is trivial to sustainably infect a Mac with malware. Neither would help popular antivirus software, even Apple’s own mechanisms, such as XProtect or signing apps.

Patrick Wardle, the senior security researcher the consultant SynAck, does not think much of the security mechanisms of Apple’s OS X, which according to him, can easily outwit. In 2014, over 50 new families of malware for OS X had appeared. This was an upward trend, which can be explained by the increasing market share (14 percent in the US) of Macs. His insights he shared in a lecture at this year’s RSA Conference with.

Apple’s security mechanisms outwit

It would present malware writers easily, malicious software protection mechanisms Sytems pass on Mac computers to install. For native mechanisms such as gate keeper, XProtect, the sandbox of OS X or signing apps would offer little protection. Gatekeeper for example, just check whether an application from a trusted source, so for example from the App Store comes – but not if the software package has been modified maliciously and during the installation arbitrary code discharged with the system

XProtect, the applications classified on the basis of its hash value as good or evil leave to surprise even easier: The simple rename of a known malware was enough to fool XProtect. The requirement for apps from the App Store sandbox of OS X is also not reliable. There were several weaknesses in the system, through the abuse of a breakout from the loud Wardle otherwise stable Sandbox is possible. Google’s Project Zero have discovered, for example, more than 20 such bugs

The check code signatures also consider any attacker from:. Although OS X check whether a signature is valid. Error signature but because it was, for example, from the attacker, just reboot the malicious modified application without complaint. Even if it umpteen times before being exhibited with a valid signature. Removing the signature’ll do with a simple Python script.
Since OS X Mavericks and kernel extensions must (Kernel Extensions kext) be signed. The space required kext daemon can however be manipulated from the userland out in such a way so that the signature check is removed. A Stop the daemon also leads to the goal, because the component used to start the expansion continues in this case without the check, says Wardle.

For most of the modifications described by Wardle root privileges are required. These are but to obtain, for example, by not fully closed Rootpipe gap. Wardle has published a few days before his presentation of a video that demonstrates this.

anti-virus applications really effective

In an experiment conducted by Wardle test of common anti-virus software for OS X did not shown that these infections are not effectively prevent. A written his own demo malware, which permanently embeds itself in the system and transfers data to the outside, was intercepted in any case of no more than ten tested applications.

The resources available for sustainable anchoring of malware in the system techniques, including plists, cron jobs, scripts, plug-ins for the Spotlight search feature or Login Items, Wardle also describes in his presentation. Most of these techniques were to be found also by the network, active and partially signed with valid developer certificate malicious software such as CallMe, Crisis, Kitmos or Yontoo used.

So Mac users can protect themselves and their computers, has the expert two free tools developed: Knock Knock covers all autostart files and sends the hash results on VirusTotal to inform the user about possible hazards. Block block runs in the background and notifies when a process at one of the relevant, used by malware sites will settle in the system. With root privileges, such checks can toggle it off again.

As a software company against a very pointed Spiegel article … – Meedia

Publishing In recent levels appeared under the heading “New Social Question” an article with yourself challenges involved, which represents the digital economy to the labor market. A few days later there was a company that is found in the text, clear criticism. The mirror had omitted facts or distorted in order to put the company in a false light.

“As we said ‘ investigative journalism quality ‘of the mirror on the glue went “is the detailed blog post overwritten, the employee has a marketing software company Seibert Media written. The text is a response and public criticism of the article “New Social Question” from the current mirror and is eagerly passed just in social media. In the Spiegel article is about a strategy paper the Ministry of Labour, which deals with the challenges addressed by the digitization of the world of work. Specifically meant mainly new work models where many freelancers are used and often do not pay social security contributions, so-called solo self-employed.

are as a company comes by way of example in the article also Seibert Media ago, the Wiesbaden office was visited by a mirror-editor. Now is not asserted in the mirror that “solo self-employed” would work in Seibert Media, in the context, the reader but certainly this impression. In this case, it is now reading the blog of the company, working at Seibert Media only permanent employees:

“Actually, you would, dear Mrs. L. (meaning the Mirror editor , Anm.d.Red.), a company owned, the more does not “normal job”, but only works with freelancers. And after your visit with us then had the problem that // SEIBERT / MEDIA has only normal jobs. Our employees are permanent and have very regular employment. “

Seibert Media practiced the principle of an agile organization. This means there is no fixed working hours, work places or hierarchy levels. This requires, however, according to information from the company electronic timekeeping and continuous outcome controls. The Spiegel article will be lifted especially on the control aspect of the agile organization, but without more detailed explanation of this principle. Thus we read in the mirror: “Those who work here must be willing to engage in full control. . The reward is participation “and further that in the mirror:

” Eight years ago, Seibert has begun to transform its classic company. Since then, he can watch online, whether the team achieve their own goals every employee and every customer. Can be done using a simple diagram: A blue line indicates what work is to be done. A red, how much is done. Large gaps raise questions – even in the workforce. For all employees involved in the competition. After the conversion had to go in Seibert Media few employees. A works council does not exist. Needless says Seibert. “

So the impression of a big brother company in which the total surveillance of employees on the agenda is created. In the corporate blog is Seibert Media defends decided against this representation, and also against the claim due to the transition had been dismissed people:

“A shift from traditional organization to agile methods has nothing to do with jobs but with the planning and implementation of software projects. For this you can throw out anyone. That is not happening and was told in no conversation. This representation is simply nonsense. But it fits nicely apparently striking. “

In the Spiegel article no wrong allegations are made. But apparently the working principle of the company is just not show up correctly. It gives the impression that the experiences of the reporter were put right on the spot so that they fit into the context of Article thesis. “Bluntly” that is then in the media jargon.

In the blog a reply e-mail the editor responsible mirror is documented. She writes to the criticism of the article:

viewed

“We have all the companies we visited for this story, critically and from employee perspective. That this is the reason for my visit with you, I told you. But you are right in that the text scored by a strong gathering in the newsroom an intensification. In a longer version of both the Agile concept and our conversation about the council was explained in more detail.

But this is certainly not the last article, we’ll write about the challenge of the digital economy. If you accept, I’ll get back to you when we dedicate ourselves again innovative business concepts. “

A kind of” Oops, better luck next time. ” If the company concerned to a next time do not feel like that would be understandable.

What would happen if you were to print the code architecture of some company on paper? In many cases, stacks of paper would arise at the level of a multi-storey building with security. And the lyrics in many of these stacks of paper would be ill-structured: Inserted subordinate clauses or run-on sentences, extending over several pages, would ensure that debugging is very troublesome. Transferred to the code landscapes of a company means that errors may creep -. And indeed often if and only if for adaptation measures individual subsets must be identified and rewritten

Code landscapes systematically analyze and visualize

The Effectiveness of the platform Potsdamer startups Software Diagnostics examines these vast accumulations Code systematically and automatically and shows exactly the points at which the code is too complicated. The resulting software card read all the relevant data and analyze them in real time. The visualization of the code landscapes is impressive:

What looks like a big city, is the entire code: each building stands for a unit of code and the footprint of the building visualize the size of each code unit. The higher rises a building, the greater the number of risky, complex code logic. And the color of the building shows the urgency to the number of complex code logic.

target group of this product are technical decision makers and stakeholders from the CIO / CTO up to the developer. But even nontechnical decision makers enables Software Diagnostics to understand complex technical relationships quickly and intuitively

on-premises or SaaS

The software is currently available in German and English. After The company was the first to focus on the DACH region, is currently being developed as part of the German Accelerator program, a subsidiary in the USA – Software Diagnostics is one of the few selected companies that were allowed to travel under the supervision of the Federal Ministry of Economics to Silicon Valley. The opening up of the markets of other countries is in preparation or even in the implementation

There are different supply models: For clients such as Adidas, SAP and Volkswagen an implemented on-premises solution is already in use – SaaS. solution differs only in the reference type. But here customers can access directly from the cloud to the platform

Experienced team of founders with university background

is

Founder and CEO of Software Diagnostics Dr. Johannes Bohnet. The physics graduate received his PhD at the University of Potsdam. At the Hasso Plattner Institute, the university center of excellence for IT Systems Engineering in Potsdam, he managed the “Automated software analysis and visualization”. For many years he also worked as an IT consultant and Trainer at a renowned consulting firm in Frankfurt am Main.

Software Diagnostics originated as a spin-off of the Hasso-Plattner-Institute of the Department “Information Visualization and Computer Graphics “: That there exploratory founding team quickly realized that arose on the basis of visual analytics capabilities that you can prepare course with advanced software systems – the starting their own business was the logical consequence

ancient languages. in the heart of the big companies

In the development phase, it was necessary to overcome a number of challenges: First, the team needed access to the codes of large companies in order to gain experience – because especially in the banking and insurance sector is the heart of the company often from 40 year old software in ancient languages ​​like Cobol or PL / 1, which are only used there. The consulting services offered at the beginning of the development so the team could on the one hand a lot of experience and finance on the other hand, the development of Effectiveness platform itself. !
