Testimonials
Karsten Voges
CEO of smart360
smart360 is a technology start-up company, developing the next generation SaaS platform for data management, visualization, integration and evolution, to be the hub for small and structured data.
As a growing tech company, we needed more talents for our software development and this is what ITR Management Consult helped us with. They quickly established a small dedicated team for us, which joined our extended team and follows our daily rhythm. They solve all kinds of technical problems and improvements and the team does not require thorough specifications as they are general problem solvers that get the job done. Additionally for smart360 as a start-up it is important to be cost effective, which is possible with the service provided by ITR Management Consult.
I really enjoy working with the guys. We're looking forward to grow together with ITR Management Consult!

Andreas Bernhard
CIO at Eugster & Frismag AG
I partnered with ITR Management Consult OOD for the development and modernization of a lifecycle management system for technical inspection reports prior to mass production. The project required deep analysis of our legacy application and the delivery of a modern, optimized solution while preserving core functionality.
ITR Management Consult participated successfully in the migration of our system from the legacy technologies to the latest version, building a clean, maintainable, and scalable architecture with full version control, document management, report state handling, and multi-language support.
Due to the strategic importance of the initiative, we relied on ITR Management Consultto hire dedicated team members to support the migration, and together we navigated challenges collaboratively and efficiently. The strong partnership and open communication enabled us to deliver a robust solution aligned with business needs.
I highly recommend ITR Management Consult OOD as a reliable partner for complex software modernization and long-term technology collaboration.
