PRODYNA has been honored with the prestigious Best of Consulting Award 2023 by Deutsche Wirtschaftswoche. This award celebrates PRODYNA's exceptional achievement in the "Marketing" category for its groundbreaking project: "Degussa Bank's Digital Bank-Shop."

This project, a collaborative effort between PRODYNA and Degussa Bank, incorporates innovation, strategic capacity, and client-centric solutions. "Degussa Bank's Digital Bank-Shop" is a testament to PRODYNA's commitment to excellence, innovation, and delivering top-tier consulting and development solutions. It signifies the combination of technology, insightful strategy, and a relentless pursuit of exceeding client expectations.

The success of this project owes much to the dedication and expertise of the team involved. This achievement would not have been possible without the invaluable contributions of our team, and we celebrate it with immense pride.

PRODYNA has been elevated to the prestigious AWS (Amazon Web Services) Advanced Partner level. This milestone marks a new chapter in our commitment to delivering advanced cloud solutions and underscores our dedication to service excellence.

Achieving the AWS Advanced Partner status is a working example of our team's expertise, dedication, and firm commitment to meeting and exceeding our clients' needs in the dynamic landscape of cloud technology. This recognition further validates our proficiency in leveraging AWS services and our ability to deliver innovative solutions that drive business transformation.

As an AWS Advanced Partner, PRODYNA gains access to a broader range of resources, tools, and training, enabling us to empower our clients with cloud solutions further. This elevated status solidifies our position as a trusted advisor and solution provider equipped with the knowledge and capabilities to architect, build, migrate, and manage workloads on AWS with utmost proficiency and efficiency.

PRODYNA has recently achieved a significant milestone by earning the esteemed Microsoft Specialization in DevOps and App Modernization. We have also successfully obtained certifications in DevOps with GitHub and expertise in Migrating Enterprise Applications from Microsoft, marking a momentous achievement in our journey toward excellence.

This distinction acknowledges our team's proficiency and expertise in leveraging Microsoft's advanced tools and methodologies to streamline development processes, enhance application modernization strategies, and foster a culture of continuous improvement.

Moreover, our attainment of the DevOps with GitHub certification showcases our dedication to mastering the capabilities of GitHub, a leading platform for collaborative software development and version control.

In addition, PRODYNA's expertise in Migrating Enterprise Applications demonstrates our capability to navigate complex migration challenges and empower businesses to transition their applications to modern, scalable, and cloud-native architectures. This expertise equips us to assist enterprises in optimizing their infrastructure, enhancing scalability, and maximizing operational efficiency through strategic application migrations.

In a significant development for PRODYNA, a leading European technology consultancy, Hüseyin Cifci - the current CEO - has announced a major leadership change, paving the way for a new management team to take over the operative business. Recognizing the strengths of the existing team and their seamless alignment with the company's business objectives, he has decided to focus exclusively on handling the strategic roadmap of PRODYNA.

“With this move, we are confident PRODYNA will be best positioned for continued growth and success.”

- Hüseyin Cifci

Hüseyin Cifci made two key appointments to ensure a smooth transition and to lead PRODYNA into its next phase. He has appointed the current Chief Operating Officer (COO), Christoph Körner, as his successor, taking over the role of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

Christoph's extensive experience within PRODYNA and his deep understanding of its operations make him an ideal candidate for this position. Additionally, Dirk Hehrmann, currently serving as the country COO for Germany, has been appointed to the board of directors as the COO for the entire PRODYNA SE. Dirk's proven track record in driving operational excellence makes him a perfect fit for this crucial role.

Jens Weimar will continue as the Chief Marketing Officer (CMO), retaining his responsibilities for Business Development, Marketing, and Sales.

However, with all his enthusiasm and commitment, Hüseyin Cifci, will be supporting the 'new' PRODYNA management as Chairman of the Supervisory Board.

“My congratulations go to Dirk for his appointment to the board and Christoph for stepping up to be my successor! I wish the new management team all the best in leading PRODYNA towards a successful future.”

- Hüseyin Cifci

The new management team is ready to build on the company's strong foundation and deliver innovative solutions to its clients while further strengthening PRODYNA's position in the global technology consulting market. As the technology landscape continues to evolve, PRODYNA remains committed to providing cutting-edge services and solutions that drive digital transformation and enable businesses to thrive in the digital age.

PRODYNA today announced it has been named a finalist of Cloud Native App Development 2022 Microsoft Partner of the Year Award. The company was honored among a global field of top Microsoft partners for demonstrating excellence in innovation and implementation of customer solutions based on Microsoft technology.“PRODYNA as a SI and developer of enterprise applications works together with Microsoft to accelerate digitalization and business innovation.” said David Wainwright, head of partner business development at PRODYNA. “With this nomination, we have demonstrated that the ability to rapidly develop scalable, enterprise grade software is an essential and basic requirement of any modern society in times of national crisis.

Awards were classified in various categories, with honorees chosen from a set of more than 3,900 submitted nominations from more than 100 countries worldwide. PRODYNA was recognized for providing outstanding solutions and services in Cloud Native App Development. To combat the COVID-19 pandemic and avoid a public health crisis, the German government passed the DIVI Intensive Care Register Ordinance, which was to take effect in just three weeks and required each ICU to report its bed utilization factors on a 24-hour basis. As a result, the German Federal Ministry of Health commissioned PRODYNA to develop a cloud-based web application in collaboration with the Robert Koch Institute and the German Interdisciplinary Association for Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine (DIVI). The solution was developed based on state-of-the-art PRODYNA best practice approaches in the areas of agile team organization, collaboration (Miro, Atlassian Suite), user experience (Sketch, FIGMA, Angular) and software architecture (Azure, Kubernetes, Jenkins, Bitbucket, etc.). The project goal of equipping more than 1300 hospitals with a completely new application in less than three weeks was met with the use of cloud technologies. The partner SAS was selected for the operation.“I am honored to announce the winners and finalists of the 2022 Microsoft Partner of the Year Awards,” said Nick Parker, corporate vice president of Global Partner Solutions at Microsoft. “These partners were outstanding among the exceptional pool of nominees and I’m continuously impressed by their innovative use of Microsoft Cloud technologies and the impact for their customers.” Microsoft Partner of the Year Awards are announced annually prior to the company’s global partner conference, Microsoft Inspire, which will take place on July 19-20 this year.Additional details on the 2022 awards are available on the Microsoft Partner Network blog.

PRODYNA has been supporting goal-oriented athletes in achieving their athletic goals for many years. To be successful, you need exceptional skills, but also team spirit, performance orientation and common goals. These are also key factors and the main focus of PRODYNA and its employees.Since June 2022, PRODYNA has been supporting the visually impaired para-athlete Linn Kazmaier from Oberlenningen. Oberlenningen is a tranquil town in Baden-Württemberg, about 40 kilometers southeast of Stuttgart. The 15-year-old schoolgirl has already celebrated many great successes in her Para-Ski Nordic career. At the Para-Ski Nordic World Championships in January 2022 in Lillehammer, Norway, she finished as the best German twice in 6th place and twice in 9th place. She took part in the 2022 Winter Paralympics in Beijing and – surprisingly for her age – stood on the podium five times (1x gold, 3x silver and 1x bronze). By winning the silver medal in the Para-Biathlon over 6 kilometers, she is the youngest German medal winner at Winter Games. Due to her visual impairment, she is supported by Florian Baumann as an escort runner. Florian won several medals at German Youth and Junior Championships and ended his active career in June 2020. In autumn 2020, the Swabian duo started their cooperation.In terms of sports, Linn and Florian want to continue to take off: the World Cup starts at the beginning of December and in 2026 they want to attack again at the Paralympic Games in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo.Linn also competes in para-athletics in the middle distance. Here she wants to qualify for the Summer World Championships 2023 in Paris in the 1500m race. To then be able to compete at the Summer Paralympic Games 2024, also in Paris.Follow the "Parateam" on Instagram to participate in the daily training routine and to be informed about the latest news.

The Swiss-Serbian Chamber of Commerce (SSCC) was born out of the growing interest of representatives of the Swiss business community in Serbia, with a focus on promoting economic relations between Serbia and Switzerland. SSCC is an organization that facilitates dialogue between the two countries, promotes Swiss values in Serbia and creates new networking opportunities for business people. PRODYNA D.O.O. joined the SSCC and Simo Vuleta (Managing Director of PRODYNA D.O.O.) was elected to the Board of the Chamber.The vision of SSCC is to support the sustainable development of Serbian society by enabling the development of durable and long-term Swiss-Serbian business relations. The main elements are: Facilitating dialogue between Switzerland and Serbia, promoting Swiss values and know-how ("Swissness" concept), improving the local business environment and creating networking opportunities.As a member of SSCC, PRODYNA thus has the opportunity to participate in the cooperation of the Chamber of Commerce and can count on its support in the future development of lasting and long-term Swiss-Serbian business relations. Furthermore, we will participate in the improvement of the local business environment by supporting Swiss companies interested in establishing their own subsidiaries in Serbia with the necessary technical know-how and advancing their digital transformation.Through our cooperation, we will contribute to the development of the market and open new opportunities for joint growth.

The label "swiss made software" serves to promote the Swiss software industry and is recognized nationally and internationally as a signboard for Swiss quality in software development. Since 2007, more than 820 companies have joined the label and have been awarded the title "swiss made software". They thus stand for the Swiss values of quality, reliability and precision – especially in software development.PRODYNA (Schweiz) AG awarded the "swiss made software" label and thus stands for high-quality software development and is committed to the Swiss software industry.

To combat the COVID-19 pandemic, accurate and up-to-the-minute identification of available ICU beds and ventilation capacity became a key control element. The Federal Ministry of Health, in collaboration with the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) and the German Association for Intensive Care Medicine (DIVI), commissioned PRODYNA to develop an intensive care registry to create a uniform picture of intensive care capacity nationwide.WirtschaftsWoche annually calls on all consultancies in Germany, Austria and Switzerland to have their most important and best client projects evaluated by a scientific advisory board and a jury; to award the best management consulting projects as part of the "Best of Consulting".In this year's competition, PRODYNA once again prevailed in the category "Technologies" and were awarded first place. A provisional platform already existed for reporting intensive care bed occupancy, but it was not up to the challenges at hand, either professionally or technically. PRODYNA were tasked with solving the problem for RKI technology partner SAS. "We get called to fire calls with increasing regularity," says Jens Weimar, managing director at PRODYNA. "But a situation with the pressure and scope was a new experience for us as well. Only about 14 days later, in April 2021, the intensive care bed registry had to be ready.""We had to implement a highly available and scalable system in the Cloud, in the shortest possible time to be able to process the enormous number of requests to the public area. At the same time, we had to ensure maximum reliability for reporting by the intensive care unit," explains Florian Aßmus. And as if the firefighting mission during implementation had not been enough, the PRODYNA consultants were still faced with the challenge of explaining the complicated regulation and use of the new solution to Germany's more than 1,500 intensive care hospitals directly with the live launch. "24 hours before the hospitals had to report their beds, we still had to set up a service hotline on the fly and brief the phone operators," says Timothy Simms.CMO Jens Weimar draws a very positive conclusion overall: "We learned a lot about ourselves and that we can be incredibly fast and still be professional. That only comes with many years of learned expertise." Please click here for further information on the project. Images from the awards ceremony can be found here.

The Basler Stadtlauf is one of the biggest running events in the region. The running experience in the Kleinbasel alleys inspires a large number of runners every year.

Without a doubt, Covid-19 has influenced the world of work and will continue to influence how we collaborate (remotely) in the future. Development teams in particular were already working remotely, decentrally and asynchronously to some extent even before Covid-19. However, even though development teams have worked remotely, decentrally, and asynchronously to some extent, most teams have not continuously worked this way and have been presented with new challenges by Covid-19.In this eBook, we don't want to gather theoretical guidelines or guides, but the actual practical experiences, challenges and solution approaches from different development teams.In addition to individual chapters, there are profiles of Microsoft partners who specialize in coaching and educating development teams of various sizes. We asked these partners to share their own development teams' models and candidly share what challenges they've had and what they've learned.Download the free eBook and benefit from the tips and tricks of the most innovative development teams and experts in the community.

Especially in times of the pandemic, we want to motivate our employees to lead an active and healthy lifestyle while supporting charitable projects. For this reason PRODYNA started an internal fundraising campaign in January. Whether running, cycling, walking, yoga or home workout: For each sporting activity of our employees PRODYNA donated a selected amount to the Welthungerhilfe – with success! Together we managed to collect a total of 30,000€ for charitable projects.As a finale to our fundraising campaign, employees from all of our locations participated in a virtual fundraising run for Welthungerhilfe, the #ZeroHunger Run, from May 5-9. This not only promotes the health of our employees, but also the team spirit among them. Growing beyond limits together and having the feeling that we can master anything – that is something we are particularly proud of at PRODYNA.

The advanced specialization for Kubernetes on Microsoft Azure validates a solution partner's deep knowledge, extensive experience, and proven expertise in deploying and managing production workloads in the cloud using containers and managing hosted Kubernetes environments in Microsoft Azure.Only partners that meet stringent criteria related to customer success and staff qualifications, as well as pass a third-party audit of their container-based workload deployment and management practices, can earn the advanced specialization for Kubernetes on Azure.We are pleased to announce that PRODYNA is among the 20 companies worldwide that have passed this rigorous exam and received the Kubernetes on Azure Advanced Specialization.

Being active in sports, doing something for your health and supporting charitable projects at the same time. That is the idea behind the current internal fundraising campaign.Whether it's running, cycling, walking, pilates, home workouts or active lunch breaks. For every physical activity of our employees, PRODYNA donates an amount to Welthungerhilfe. The amount will be donated to selected projects, such as an agricultural and environmental project in the northern Burundian province of Ngozi.

Good reputation, increased operating results, regular successful cooperation: there are many reasons for companies to choose one or the other consultancy. Within the framework of the Best of Consulting and Best of Consulting Mittelstand awards, WirtschaftsWoche honors Germany's best management consultants.WirtschaftsWoche asked all consultancies in Germany to have their best customer projects evaluated by a scientific advisory board and a jury. In the "Best of Consulting" competition of WirtschaftsWoche, PRODYNA was able to prevail in the category "Technology" and was awarded with the "Best of Consulting" seal. As consulting partner, PRODYNA supported tesa, the manufacturer of adhesive tapes and other adhesive materials, in the development of a cloud-based business application, thus facilitating company-wide access to information and creating new analysis options. An interview with Stefan Franke, Head of Data Lab in the Digital Development Office of tesa SE.Mr. Franke, what is your role in the Digital Development Office at tesa SE?As part of the Digitalization Initiative 2025, tesa has set itself the goal of digitizing its own processes. In the Digital Development Office, I initiate digital products, including BLOX.Tell us about the project you have been implementing with PRODYNA since 2019.With BLOX we have developed an application that is individually tailored to tesa. Based on the newly developed coherent data model, it depicts technical interrelationships and relationships. The cloud setup enables us to outsource the majority of the technical complexity into the infrastructure and to focus BLOX on the business logic. The application provides a platform for innovations in research and development, allows a 360° view of our database and forms the basis for comprehensive risk analyses.What added value could be realized for tesa as a result?In the past, it was a challenge for tesa to gain a structured overview of the technical dependencies and implications of our production steps. BLOX solves this problem and accelerates our product development. At the same time we can use the developed data model for our risk management. Especially during the Covid-19 pandemic, the application has strengthened our business continuity by enabling us to identify and avoid risks in real time through a 360° view of raw materials, supply chains, technologies and market data.How has the application helped to deal with the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic?One example is the automotive suppliers and producers of chemical raw materials located in Northern Italy, which are particularly threatened by the lockdown. Our central concern is to be able to guarantee our customers the availability of our products even during the pandemic. Due to BLOX, we were able to identify risks at an early stage and define data-based measures to ensure that we can continue to supply our customers.What role did PRODYNA play as your consulting partner in the development of the application?We involved PRODYNA very early in the process in order to integrate their expertise in working with the graph database Neo4j. During the cooperation it quickly became clear that the consultants were very proactive in contributing their own ideas and suggestions. In this way, we were able to maximize the business value created together. In the meantime, a PRODYNA team implemented the entire application in the Microsoft Azure Cloud.Why Microsoft Azure as Cloud Partner?The Azure ecosystem fits perfectly with our digitalization strategy – we can operate successfully proven IT systems reliably and scalably and take new prototypes into test operation with minimal risk. In the BLOX environment, for example, we benefit from the Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), which enables us to regularly connect new user groups from all business areas to the knowledge management system with great ease. In addition, the Azure Cloud allows us to achieve a higher development speed and allows us to control costs incurred at project level.What's next in the Digital Development Office?Together with PRODYNA and Microsoft, we have created a valuable foundation for leveraging knowledge within the Group. In the future we plan to link more and more information in the knowledge graph. There is potential for expansion everywhere – from logistics to product development and sales. We will implement many more exciting projects as part of our Digitization Initiative 2025.Here you will find further information about the „Best of Consulting“ seal.

A new program from ADN supports ISVs on their way to the Azure Cloud. COMPUTERWELT asked around among the strategic partners.After initial skepticism, the German-speaking landscape of independent software vendors (ISVs) has recognized the signs of the times and is setting the course for the cloud age. However, many ISVs are still facing the challenge of lifting their applications from the on-premise world into the cloud. Lack of know-how, non-existent data center capacities and the necessary refactoring require investments that stand in the way of a cloud first strategy. In addition to the technical challenges, the conversion of the sales department is a further challenge, because a rental solution requires new sales models and channels, such as the creation of a digital marketplace. In order to support ISVs in their "Cloud Journey", the ADN Group with its partners abtis, white duck, and PRODYNA has now set up a dedicated ISV program. The program accompanies ISVs on their way to the Azure Cloud from the first steps such as licensing issues, through development and marketing."Our new program is designed to help ISVs in the DACH region to position themselves with modern SaaS offerings in a future-proof and internationally competitive manner and to benefit from the rapid growth in this area. Many very mature industry solutions are still lagging behind the possibilities of the times. We want to change this and make the path to the cloud as easy as possible," Hermann Ramacher, founder and CEO of ADN.David Wainwright, Head of Partner Business Development at PRODYNA knows: Cloud-Native is more than a trend. According to Wainwright, development on a container basis with the cloud in focus forms the new software architecture standard. Historically, PRODYNA has naturally grown into the cloud area.Here you will find the article from COMPUTERWELT.

In 1983, parents whose children with cancer were being treated at the Children's Hospital of the University Hospital Frankfurt founded the association "Hilfe für krebskranke Kinder Frankfurt e.V.". The goal of the founding members was to improve conditions for the young patients and their families in the inpatient and outpatient areas of the children's cancer clinic as well as to provide psychosocial and financial assistance. Thus, the association sees itself as an institution of those affected for those affected and offers unbureaucratic support and accompaniment for the sick children, adolescents and young adults and for their siblings, parents and other relatives.In 1994, the association established its "Frankfurt Foundation for Children with Cancer". In the foundation's own research house, which opened in 2005 and is adjacent to the association's family center and in the immediate vicinity of the university hospital, research is being conducted into the causes of and to improve the chances of recovery for children and young people with cancer, with the aim of improving the chances of success in treatment.David Wainwright, Marketing Manager at PRODYNA, presented the donation check in the amount of 5,000 euros to Rudolf Starck, Managing Director of the association and its foundation. The current board members, the managing director and many of the employees of the association are themselves affected and know what it means to have to live with the diagnosis "Your child has cancer".At the handing over of the donation, David Wainwright announced a cooperation between the association as well as his foundation and PRODYNA: "We have a large number of young athletes in our company, who appreciate the challenge and are always happy to accept it. In this course PRODYNA would like to call on its own employees to take part in a company-internal challenge in order to be able to support the association and its foundation financially in the future."

The "Corporate Challenge" is intended to further stimulate corporate rowing - the IT company PRODYNA has already been the title sponsor of the Rowing Bundesliga (RBL) since 2013. In its third season, the innovative consulting and technology service provider headquartered in Frankfurt am Main is expanding its commitment to rowing and will become the main sponsor of the Corporate Cup, which is integrated into the RBL. In addition to the eight races of the 40 strongest club teams in Germany, there will be a "PRODYNA Corporate Challenge" on the five race days in Frankfurt (16.05.), Hanover (13.06.), Münster (18.07.), Leipzig (15.08.) and Hamburg (12.09.). Corporate teams, which often emerge from company sports communities from rowing clubs, will compete over the short distance in GIG double sixes with coxswain, which will be provided by the organizer. The most successful teams qualify for the grand final, which will be held as part of the "ROWING Champions League" on September 20 in Berlin.After PRODYNA has sought contact to the rowers and the rowing scene in general in the RBL in the past two years, they now want to close the circle by also getting in touch with companies involved in rowing. For the head of the marketing department, Dr. David Wainwright, the "Corporate Challenge" is a good platform to approach potential customers with a "sporty touch" and to use the rowing network for further contacts. The cooperation is initially designed for one year and is to be expanded if it is successful.Sponsor and organizer have set ambitious goals for the first year. Up to twelve boats are to compete against each other on the sprint distance each race day. PRODAYNA is also setting an example here: Already on the first race day in Frankfurt, two to three of its own company teams will be at the start. A GIG double-six in company colors will be delivered to the sponsor in the middle of the season as a further advertising medium and will enter the competition.The trend of company rowing and company sports teams is to be supported, strengthened and expanded with the "PRODYNA Corporate Challenge".

There is no second chance for the first look - in line with our expansion, we have made optimizations to our brand presence and created a new corporate design for PRODYNA.The new colors dominate in green-anthracite and are thus more dynamic than the previously used blue tone. Combined with the "DIN Next font family" and selected corporate elements, the design has an overall more valuable effect.The changeover should be completed by the end of October. In the future, you will be able to view the new design on our homepage, at our locations and on our social media channels.
