We keep research software running when funding ends.

When the funding ends, what is often left is a prototype that nobody is responsible for. We take it over, make it stable and keep developing it.

In short

Research projects often build software that nobody looks after once the funding ends. The people who know the code move on, and the results are lost. We take over the software while the team is still there, make it stable and keep it running. If it should become a product, we prepare the spin-off.

When it fits

Your project is ending, and the software should keep running.

We take over code, access and knowledge before the team leaves.
Your research project needs a website the institute can maintain itself.

As with the Ferdinand-Steinbeis-Institut: we build and run it, your team maintains the content.
A research result should become a product.

We prepare the spin-off and keep building the product with you.

What we take over

Transfer check: We review code, data and usage rights and tell you what the software needs.
Clean-up before funding ends: Documentation, tests and a proper handover while the developers are still there.
Continued operation: Servers, updates and further development after the funding ends, at one of three levels.
Spin-off: If the result should become a company, we co-found it, as in venture building.
