IT Engine

We had an idea to found a company where employees as well as clients like to come and work. No stress or unnecessary pressure. We saw how things are done in different companies and wanted to bring some changes in IT culture.

In today's AI-driven world, we recognize and promote the importance of authenticity and a human approach. Our core values are being shown in every aspect of the company, from the HR approach, knowledge sharing, and team building events among other things.

We focus on the well-being of our employees and work-life balance. Only satisfied and motivated employees can give their best to clients. Clients understand that we have an equal responsibility to both employees and them.

Our most important achievement we are proud of is the big retention rate which is really low in the IT industry. Other than that crossing a line of 50 employees was also a nice milestone. Besides that 100 or more happy clients in a 13-year history is an amazing milestone.

The company works primarily with in-house resources but if the client is in a tight spot we do have a partner network that we cooperate with in such cases.

We try to be recognized in the IT community by tackling the impossible through an authentic approach to challenges, while keeping the focus on people.

Direct and open communication is key for collaboration in our team. We encourage employees to be open and discuss their problems with the company.

We have a support framework which is the definition for tech team organization of mentorship and learning support. Internal workshops by HR and Tech department as well as 3rd part lectures and courses for growth of employee’s skills.

Our team support goes much further than the development of the product, we try to help the client’s business case as well by offering experience from that domain or technical improvements. 
One of our clients had a problem with the wrong hardware, hundreds of weight scales had no Bluetooth connectivity options which were necessary for our system to work. Instead of buying hundreds of new scales we made cross cable from RS232 port to Bluetooth and saved the client a lot of money.

We don’t have a primary industry but we do have a lot of experience in business software, ERP’s etc. Most of our clients, 90%, are repeat clients, if they don’t have a new project then they recommend us to their contacts. For a long time, our only sales advertisement was word of mouth.

Our CTO and tech lead team are in charge of reviewing new technologies, frameworks, and other industry trends. The company offers a budget to all employees for visiting events and conferences.

Product discovery service that includes a team of Product Owners and UI/UX designers was one of our most praised services, as well as an incredibly fast response on dedicated team requests.

We offer good service and try to retain clients with transparent and direct communication about everything. Client feedback is part of employee evaluation.

During the latest challenges in IT, we maintained the core of the company – employees. We invested in employee retention and in sales. The future of our company and IT in general is bright but only with much better efficiency and planning.

For custom projects, we can work on a fixed cost or time-material basis, depending on client needs. In the case of dedicated team service invoicing is done monthly on the basis of spent billable hours.

The size of the project does not determine whether will we work on the project, but the willingness of the client to fulfill all basic prerequisites for a successful project. That would be a minimum team of 3 people (PM, Developer, and QA) and follow the principles of software development.

Custom solution project varies from 40 000€ up to 400 000€. Dedicated team service we invoice monthly and we have teams from 2 to 10 persons with the average hourly price of 40€/h.

Our company has in-house servers mainly used for infrastructure as well as external dedicated servers and cloud infrastructure for testing purposes. Office365 environment is used for email and other cloud services we need, from team collaboration in Teams to OneDrive for file sharing.

By developing good sales and marketing team we anticipate to have more stable and continuous growth in the future. Our goal is to have a stable company with a constant intake of new projects and clients.
