Efficient and agile collaboration is central to the success of our projects. For us, agility is not just an empty phrase, but an integral part of our project teams’ day-to-day work. Our customers benefit from a single touch point to our company, made possible by our product owners and technical project leads, who work together in a self-organized and interdisciplinary manner with an international development team of four to five people. The technologies used are customized, as we adapt flexibly to the development environment of our customers and offer appropriate advice. Our approach to IT consulting is somewhat more differentiated. Our consultants work in tandem with our clients and take on a variety of roles. For example, they manage internal customer development teams as Chief Product Owner or Interim Manager.
In our company, we attach great importance to open communication. There are no rigid hierarchies or impenetrable levels here. We communicate at eye level and directly, no matter what level you are at. A transparent feedback culture is a reality for us. We love to meet in person! Be it at company parties, folk festivals or professional events such as sales summits or employer branding days – nothing creates a better connection than a personal exchange. Even though remote working is a top priority for us, personal contact is important to us. That’s why we spend at least the first working day together in the office. Not only do we get to know each other better, but we also enjoy our lunch break together.
We actively promote the personal development of our team. Our in-house technical trainer, for example, who focuses on the preparation of various training courses and certifications, supports them in this. For those who prefer to learn independently and at their own pace, the Udemy platform is available where they can search for suitable courses. We also want to support our junior developers through mentoring and offer the opportunity to work together with seniors in pair programming. With the “Innovation Flash”, we offer an internal training series that stimulates discussions about the latest technologies and trends. Regular Tech Friday excerpts on our social media platforms provide a brief insight into these exciting topics!
We offer a wide range of support options for our globally distributed employees who wish to live and work in Germany or Austria. Whether it’s overcoming bureaucratic hurdles, finding a suitable place to live or ensuring the relocation process runs smoothly – we are always on hand to provide support in all matters that promote successful integration. You can find valuable testimonials on our kununu profile and on our social media channels – it’s worth taking a look! We also promote integration through participation in language courses to improve German language skills. The aim is to make cooperation within the team and with our customers as barrier-free as possible.
Our team members work from various locations around the world. In addition to our established locations in Germany, Austria and Morocco, our talented employees also work in countries such as Argentina, Colombia and Spain. The flexibility in setting working hours enables our teams to interact optimally despite different time zones. Our offices at the various locations offer the opportunity to work together locally. It is up to each individual to decide how much time is spent in the office and how much is spent remotely. This freedom helps to promote an individual and effective way of working.
We not only focus on good working conditions, but also on special extras for our employees. To ensure an optimal home office experience, we provide state-of-the-art technical equipment. Our ergonomic office equipment also ensures a pleasant working environment. We also support our employees with a monthly home office allowance, which covers the consumption of electricity, water and internet, among other things. We attach great importance to work-life balance and therefore offer additional vacation and special leave. Depending on the location, there are additional benefits, including public transport subsidies, meal allowances, kindergarten subsidies, regional shopping cards and recreational offers.
In this exclusive interview with Christopher Hahn and Florian Blischke, we find out what drives our company, what values we live by and how we are shaping our future.

Furthermore, collective learning is a pillar of our values that promotes the exchange of knowledge within our company. In a changing market environment, we are agile and flexible in order to meet requirements.
Christopher Hahn: Digitalisation refers to the use of digital technologies to change and improve business processes, services and products. By integrating technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, big data and more, companies can increase their efficiency, use new data sources and offer personalised experiences. These changes open up opportunities for innovative solutions and business models to which we contribute our share through customised software and consulting.

Florian Blischke: Innovation plays a central role for software development companies like Hahn Software, as it enables companies to remain competitive, tap into new markets and create innovative products or services.
Florian Blischke: In order to create an inspiring and productive working environment for our team, we take a variety of measures aimed at designing workspaces and promoting a positive work culture. As we grow, we are working to create new workspaces at our sites that are open-plan, with quiet zones and flexible workstations, inspiring furnishings and a seamless technical infrastructure to create an environment in which our employees enjoy working and perform at their best.
Christopher Hahn: Through trust, autonomy and space for collaboration, we are creating a work culture in which our team around the globe, regardless of their cultural background, can find each other and where personal and professional growth is encouraged.
Christopher Hahn: Enrolling young talent in apprenticeships and dual study programmes will have a positive impact on the long-term strength and innovative power of our company. This makes it possible to pass on the knowledge and experience of experienced employees to the next generation. Dies fördert nicht nur den Wissenstransfer, sondern sorgt auch für eine nachhaltige Entwicklungsstrategie im Unternehmen. In addition, young talents bring new ways of thinking, fresh ideas and current trends to our company. This leads to innovative approaches and solutions that strengthen our competitiveness.
Florian Blischke: The integration of trainees and students enriches the corporate culture and creates a positive, dynamic atmosphere. This contributes significantly to employee loyalty and identification. The diversity of the young employees’ backgrounds, training and skills gives the company a broader base and enables it to tackle a wide range of tasks and challenges. By integrating and developing young professionals from the outset, we build long-term employee relationships that contribute to the stability and growth of the company.
Florian Blischke: Customer requirements are constantly changing. IT companies need to be flexible and able to offer customised solutions, which is what we specialise in. In a highly competitive industry, it is important to build long-term customer relationships and foster customer loyalty. Meeting these challenges requires strategic planning, flexibility, innovation and the ability to adapt to the changing technology landscape in order to remain competitive in the long term.
Christopher Hahn: In addition, the demand for qualified IT specialists often exceeds the supply, which makes recruiting and retaining talent a challenge. However, we see our concept of a global workspace and our value-adding work culture as a great opportunity. Globalisation offers us the chance to take our vision beyond borders. With our presence at various locations around the world, we are ready to spread our expertise on a global level and thus open up new order and employee markets and offer our employees a secure and future-oriented workplace.
