About Us
We wanted to create a solution that would meet the growing challenges in project engineering and project management. In many companies, scattered data, time-consuming coordination, and unclear processes led to duplication of work, delays, and a lack of transparency. Our goal was to bundle all these aspects into a central platform in order to implement projects more clearly, efficiently, and successfully.

Software that comes from practice – for practice.

well thought out
For us, SO3 is not just a tool, but a way of working in its own right.
The roots of today's SO3 date back to 1998.
Even the first versions were client-server solutions—essentially the predecessors of today's cloud technologies.
Since 1998, we have continuously developed this approach without “improving” it through constant version changes. Instead, we have retained proven features and consistently optimized them.
The result is the best possible version of a consistent SO working technique: THE SO3.
