Software engineering
A new IT generation
The digital transformation is significantly impacting software development. To keep pace with the fourth industrial revolution, a sound engineering science has emerged, which differs from traditional programming through its methodological approach and in-depth knowledge of the various processes and tools.
Successful software engineering
We are passionate exponents of individual software. We realise digital solutions from initial idea to successful market launch with commitment and dedication and a sense of job satisfaction.
We incorporate the latest methodological findings into our work and choose the technologies that are best suited for your project. Our quality standards and close collaboration based on mutual respect are further factors that ensure that your software solution adds up not only in the general sense but also in the details.
Innovation workshops
From idea to business case. The innovation workshops provide a forum for us to develop business ideas with you relating to technological and methodological trend topics.
Innovation Workshops
We are at home in all specialist areas
We recruit the best graduates from various universities and provide them with intensive advanced training. This means we always have a pool of top experts at our disposal, who are well-versed in your special field.
For example, we understand all key programming languages such as NET, Angular, C# and C++, F#, Java, Python, Scala, Type Script and Embedded GNU/Linux Deep Insight, our project managers are competent in both a traditional and agile environment, while specialist teams provide professional support in domains such as requirements engineering in accordance with IREB and quality assurance in accordance with ISTQB. When it comes to experts, bbv has both feet firmly in the future.
