IT Automation - Thinking Automation Holistically
Simplifying Complexity, Boosting Efficiency: A system that isn't designed for automation is simply not a modern system. Automation is a core component of today's IT practices, from DevOps and Site Reliability Engineering to Platform Engineering and Cloud Computing. As trailblazers, we help establish centralized solutions and processes to turn your business into an Automation-First enterprise.

How to Prioritize IT Automation
A cross-departmental automation strategy sets clear goals and provides a framework that aligns with your company's security and compliance standards.
A dedicated team, such as an ‘Automation Competence Center‘, actively drives automation initiatives within your organization.
Automation is not an afterthought in your projects. From the outset, our experts integrate automation requirements and explore all possibilities to optimize your workflows.
Systems and processes are not just automated — they’re also designed to be externally automatable where it makes sense, such as being offered ‘as a Service‘. This includes documentation for their usage.
Predefined concepts and systems are in place to implement and manage automation, all while adhering to established frameworks.
Automation: Many Disciplines, One Goal
Automation means tasks are completed faster and with higher quality. Even as workloads grow without a corresponding increase in manpower, everything remains manageable. These are qualities in demand across many areas of IT, which has given rise to multiple automation disciplines:
Classic IT Automation
Traditional IT automation focuses on operations, automating tasks such as configuration management, monitoring, and operational processes. We help establish centralized solutions and workflows based on the Ansible Automation Platform, and assist with complex implementations, including team training and coaching.
Continuous Integration, Delivery & Deployment (CI/CD)
In continuous software development, many tasks can be automated—from building software artifacts and automated testing to provisioning new deployments for high-availability services. We help design and implement CI/CD frameworks and pipelines, using platforms like GitLab, GitHub, and Tekton, while supporting complex deployments on container and cloud platforms.
Infrastructure as Code
Managing virtual infrastructures on cloud and container platforms is best done as code, allowing optimal oversight, management, and updates. We design and implement code-driven infrastructures with a focus on lifecycle management using HashiCorp Terraform for the cloud or platform-native IaC functionalities in Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift, including the use of custom operators where needed.
GitOps
A modern approach to automated deployment, often used with container platforms, GitOps extends the 'Infrastructure as Code' concept by using a code repository as the single source of truth for deployments. We have gained early experience in this field and can help you design and build your GitOps systems, using tools like ArgoCD/OpenShift Pipelines or Flux.
Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)
SRE combines software development with IT operations to ensure the reliability and availability of applications. Using automation, monitoring, and performance optimization, we help companies operate scalable, efficient systems. We support the implementation of best practices for monitoring, incident management, and troubleshooting to keep your IT infrastructure stable and future-ready, improving service quality and reducing downtime.
Platform Engineering
In short: when you bring together all the disciplines mentioned above, you get Platform Engineering. It’s about integrating individual systems into something greater. The result is a modern software platform, often referred to today as an 'Internal Developer Platform', where all components work seamlessly together. With our broad automation expertise, we guide platform projects from conception to execution, offering knowledge, experience, and the capacity to deliver in every discipline.
