Have platforms programmed for your digital future

Having a platform programmed that increases your efficiency, networks your IT landscape and strengthens your innovative power? Sounds ambitious? With our tailor-made solutions, that's exactly what becomes reality! Together, we will make your company fit for the digital future - with a platform that is perfectly tailored to your needs.

Customized solutions

We develop platforms that are precisely tailored to your requirements - modular, flexible and future-proof.

Holistic approach

From initial exploration to design and implementation - we are with you every step of the way.

Highest safety standards

With modern DevSecOps practices, we ensure a secure and compliant platform architecture.

Platform development - what do you need it for?

A platform forms a central basis for the development and operation of digital products and services. It integrates technical and specialist functions and enables efficient collaboration between cross-functional teams, processes and technologies.

Platforms form the foundation for numerous applications and offer companies a wide range of possibilities:

  • They standardize recurring processes such as databases, logging or rights management, allowing teams to work faster and more efficiently

  • Applications from different teams are brought together to create a harmonious overall experience with a uniform look and feel - for a better user experience.

  • Central functions such as data isolation or build systems reduce redundancies and increase the quality of development.

Platforms provide the basis for flexible license models and enable new business features to be added quickly.

Reasons for platform development: Your platform, our expertise

As long as applications and processes function smoothly, little attention is often paid to the underlying IT landscape. But as soon as integration problems arise, duplicate work steps cost time or the development of new features comes to a standstill, it quickly becomes clear that platform development is urgently needed.

Companies that continue to rely on isolated individual solutions risk wasting valuable resources, working inefficiently and losing competitiveness in the long term.

Here are some typical situations that illustrate the need for platform development:

  • Do you need more than a standard solution?
    A platform makes it possible to implement your individual requirements and translate your vision into a sustainable solution.
  • Does your existing IT landscape include legacy systems, APIs or third-party solutions?
    We ensure that your platform is seamlessly integrated.
  • Do you value data protection and compliance?
    Our platforms meet the highest requirements and ensure compliance with both regulatory requirements and internal company guidelines.
  • Is your company growing and developing?
    Our platforms grow with you - thanks to flexible and powerful architectures that optimally prepare you for future challenges.

Would you like to become a satisfied MaibornWolff customer yourself?

Have the platform programmed - Our approach

A platform is much more than just a technical product. Rather, it forms the basis for efficiency, innovation and sustainable growth in your company. At MaibornWolff, we support you every step of the way and work with you to develop a platform that is precisely tailored to your needs.

However, our platform development goes far beyond mere implementation. We create first-class technical solutions that point the way forward for your business and ensure that you can work independently and flexibly with your platform in the long term.

Our solutions are always aligned with your goals. Whether you are just starting out or want to further develop existing systems, we tailor our services precisely to your requirements and the digital maturity of your company.

  • Analysis and planning: We analyze your requirements, existing systems and market trends. Together, we define technical, organizational and business goals and create a roadmap with clear priorities.
  • Design and prototyping: your vision becomes tangible: We use prototypes and mockups to design the platform so that it meets your requirements and offers an optimal user experience.
  • Implementation and integration: Using modern technologies and agile methods, we develop a platform that is secure, scalable and seamlessly integrated into your IT landscape.
  • Operation and further development: Even after the go-live, we support you with managed services and further developments so that your platform always remains up-to-date and supports your long-term goals.

FAQ: Frequently asked questions about platform development

  • Can existing systems be integrated into the platform?

    Yes, existing systems can be seamlessly integrated into the platform. Our team has extensive experience with the integration of legacy systems, APIs and third-party solutions. We ensure that your IT landscape works efficiently with the new platform - without disrupting ongoing operations.
  • What are the costs of developing a platform?

    The costs depend on factors such as existing systems, license and cloud costs, the number of features and existing expertise. We analyze your requirements and create a transparent, individual calculation so that you have clarity about the investment right from the start.

  • What involvement is expected from my team during development?

    Your team will be involved, especially in the initial phase, to define requirements and evaluate existing systems. During development, selective feedback is important to ensure that the platform meets your expectations. However, we take over the majority of the implementation so that your day-to-day business remains as undisturbed as possible.
