We develop software tailored to your business
We are software developers, not software vendors. This means that we do not offer off-the-shelf products, but instead develop bespoke software for businesses with specific processes, established structures or complex requirements.
It also means that we listen to you very carefully before we begin. Because only by fully understanding your requirements down to the last detail can we guarantee efficient results and avoid any unpleasant surprises.
‘At t2informatik, competence is combined with the ability to listen. I particularly like the very high affinity for fact-based alternatives for action and the will to lead joint projects to the desired result. I can recommend t2informatik 100%.’

8 typical challenges where you can count on us
Complex development projects in regulated environments
Developing software in regulated industries is a demanding task: thousands of requirements must be precisely recorded, fully documented and implemented within an architecture that can withstand audit conditions. In sectors such as medical technology, the automotive industry or aerospace, a poorly structured project leaves no room for error.
This is not purely a technical issue, because anyone familiar with approval procedures knows that a lack of traceability in the development process can jeopardise market access entirely – regardless of how well the software ultimately performs.
We therefore begin with a preliminary project in which we work with you to analyse the regulatory framework, structure your requirements and define a scalable architecture. Throughout the project, we combine agile working methods with the level of documentation required by compliance checks.
This offers you multiple benefits: the development process won’t drive your internal audit team to despair. You’ll receive clear documentation that stands up to scrutiny during approval procedures. And you’ll be working with a partner who understands the requirements of your industry, not just the requirements of the software.
Development of web and cloud applications
Modern IT environments place high demands on web and cloud applications: they must be able to scale as required, withstand attacks and integrate seamlessly with existing systems. Whether it’s customer-facing portals, internal applications or the processing of large volumes of data – the decisions made early on in a project have long-lasting consequences.
What is built quickly today can become costly tomorrow, for example if user numbers rise, integrations are added or the team changes. Such follow-on costs usually arise from architectural decisions made early on and under pressure.
We therefore always develop web and cloud applications with care, keeping in mind scalability, security, user-friendliness and the ability to integrate with existing systems. This starts with the selection of suitable technologies and architectural patterns and extends to implementation that your team can maintain in the long term.
Ultimately, your application grows with your requirements without every extension turning into a construction site. You receive clean, well-documented code that even a new team member can understand. And you work with a partner who sets the technical course early on.
Integration of web and desktop applications
Many software solutions require both: a powerful web application for day-to-day use and a desktop application for centralised data management and administrative tasks. Web applications enable location-independent access to shared data, whilst desktop applications offer a wealth of sophisticated features. The challenge lies in integrating both worlds in such a way that the architecture, security and synchronisation function seamlessly.
That sounds technical, and it is. But problems often arise less from the technology itself than from a lack of clarity regarding the requirements: Which data needs to be available where? Who accesses it and how? What happens in the event of conflicts? If this isn’t clarified early on, you’ll have to make changes later.
We therefore take a holistic view of web and desktop applications: from architectural decisions and synchronisation logic right through to the user experience on both sides. The focus is on your users’ requirements, not technical preferences.
The result is an integrated solution that works seamlessly for the end user, remains manageable for your team and grows with your requirements.
Modernisation of legacy systems
Established IT systems often perform better than people give them credit for. Many have been running smoothly for years and support tried-and-tested business processes. And yet, at some point, they can no longer keep up: maintenance costs rise, upgrades become more complex, and it becomes increasingly difficult to plug security gaps. At a certain point, the system starts to hold the business back.
Once this point is reached, modernisation does not necessarily mean a complete overhaul. Often, it is more a matter of taking targeted action: migrating an outdated database to a future-proof system, replacing an ageing user interface with a modern one, or gradually transitioning an on-premises solution to the cloud. What makes sense in each situation depends on the system, the processes and the objectives.
We first analyse the current state of affairs: what works, what is holding things back, and what is unsustainable in the long term? From this, we derive a modernisation strategy that preserves proven structures and intervenes precisely where it is really needed – step by step and with calculable risk.
Modernisation reduces your maintenance costs, makes your systems scalable again, and allows your team to focus on further development rather than on maintenance.
‘Our collaboration with t2informatik went exactly as we had hoped right from the very first talks: a high standard of quality, expertise and commitment. Their constant search for more effective solutions, combined with their high standards for code quality, impressed us throughout.’
‘In t2informatik, we have found the strong development partner we were looking for. Our expectations have been fully met and even exceeded. Kudos for absolute transparency, outstanding technical expertise, honest advice and the support in helping us get our project up and running on its own in good time.’
Selection of optimal technologies at the start of the project
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to the question of which technology is right for a project. Each has its own strengths, limitations and specific areas of application. Those who make this decision hastily or based on habit often end up paying the price later on: through costly adjustments, limited scalability or maintenance costs that place a long-term burden on the project.
To make matters more complicated, such decisions are rarely made in a vacuum. Existing system landscapes, internal expertise, security requirements and the question of how future-proof a technology is – all of these factors must be taken into account.
We help our clients build a solid foundation for choosing the optimal technology. To do this, we analyse the requirements, evaluate the relevant technologies against specific criteria, and provide a recommendation that fits the project, the organisation and the long-term goals.
This way, you start with a technology foundation that suits your project and avoid follow-up costs resulting from a hasty decision.
Product development based on a prototype
A prototype is a promise. It demonstrates that an idea works, or at least that it can work. But there is a great deal of work to be done between a prototype that validates an idea and a product that can withstand real-world use. Issues such as scalability, stability, security and maintainability are key requirements that a quickly built prototype rarely takes into account.
We therefore take your existing foundation as our starting point: we analyse what can be reused directly and identify what needs to be built from scratch or added for production use. This results in an architecture that reliably implements your original idea.
In the end, you receive a product that meets your expectations and runs reliably – in everyday use under load and when the first users do things that nobody had foreseen in the prototype.
Extension of components, services and interfaces
Software needs to evolve: new requirements arise, systems need to communicate with one another, and existing functions eventually become insufficient. However, making changes to existing software involves risks. This is because a new function can cause something that previously ran reliably to malfunction elsewhere.
We therefore familiarise ourselves thoroughly with existing systems – regardless of who originally developed them. In doing so, we understand the existing architecture before we touch it, and extend components, services and interfaces so that they integrate seamlessly into the overall system.
This means you can count on your software growing with your requirements without disrupting day-to-day operations.
Digitalisation of work processes
Many work processes still operate in the traditional way: forms are filled in, data is transferred, and lists are maintained. The fact that there might be a different way of doing things is hardly noticeable in day-to-day life, because that’s simply how it’s always been. However, the effort involved adds up, and the time spent on manual tasks is time that could be spent elsewhere.
In this context, digitalisation does not mean turning everything upside down at once. It is about understanding processes, identifying potential and taking targeted action where the effort is greatest and the benefits most evident.
We help our clients identify these areas, even if no concrete requirements document exists yet. Together, we analyse existing workflows and develop bespoke software solutions that integrate seamlessly into the existing working environment.
Through targeted digitalisation, employees save time for tasks that truly deserve their attention. Furthermore, the company gains efficient processes that are reliable, traceable and scalable.
