In 2016 they decided to become Pimcore partner. We asked them for an interview to find out what made them join the Pimcore club:

Why is Pimcore the right solution for your company?

We don’t only deliver software off the shelf. We plan, build and run solutions for our customers.

These solutions are not only a Webshop, a CMS, a PIM/MDM, an Asset Management etc. They are integrated systems combining the mentioned capabilities with complex process handling, multiple output channels and individual look and feel. And they are always embedded in existing enterprise IT landscapes.

Therefore we need a high-quality-framework for web-based systems, which combines connectivity with maximum flexibility and very fast time-to-market development speed. Pimcore meets these requirements outstandingly.

What Pimcore project are you most proud of and what did it entail?

One of our latest projects digitally manages the package leaflets of pharmaceuticals. The leaflet information is uploaded by pharmaceutical companies, content quality is ensured by an approval process and the information is provided to the patient online via several output channels: Web, PDF, Smartphone App.

This system has the potential to be a game-changer and is an outstanding example of digital transformation.

What made you join the Pimcore Solution Partner Program?

As a Pimcore gold partner, we love the closeness to the core developers and the first-hand information we get.

Not to mention the license model of Pimcore: The free open source model gives us the possibility to create custom-fit offers with a very attractive pricing.
