Our Goal

Making IT easy to operate and control

We are committed to ensuring that companies, government institutions and the education sector keep their data, applications and IT systems under their own control. With our solutions, you can use IT conveniently and securely and select, combine and further develop it according to your needs.

Our Mission

Digital Sovereignty

At a time when competition, innovation and self-determination are of crucial importance in digitalization, we strive to preserve these values in the future. With our IAM solutions, we make it possible to use IT in your organization and your private environment exactly as you want it. We create alternatives to rigid, vendor-bound and closed systems – because that is our understanding of contemporary IT.
