Four eventful and exciting years with System Verification Germany
In January 2019, System Verification officially expanded to Germany by opening offices in Bonn and Frankfurt. 2022, three years and many successes later we decided to expand and opened our new office in Hamburg. Today, four years later, we count a total growth of 50 employees. But we did not stop there, and therefore we are expanding even more, and have already started to recruit for our newest location in München, where we will soon open our fourth office. In 2019, we started with a lot of ambition and excitement, and now we proudly celebrate 4 years of System Verification.
A lot has happened during this period. Of course, growth is always followed by many ups and downs, but that is a standard practice in any business. Today we feel genuinely happy with what we have achieved, and we have our wonderful team that was present during this journey to thank.
After just one year of operating on the German market, we – as everyone else – were faced with the Corona Pandemic. Since then, we had to learn to adapt quickly and find proper and useful ways of working internally. We have implemented diverse ways of communication and gathering virtual and IRL events. We have also developed initiatives focusing on personal development and well-being which have resulted in being able to provide a flexible way of working and collaborating. That had a positive impact on our culture, team spirit, and work atmosphere.
“Before I started at System Verification, I knew Erwin for a few years. As he decided to start a new company, I knew I wanted to be part of this journey. The first talks with the colleagues from Sweden were amazing – you could feel what mission they pursued with the company. The open-minded attitude, the opportunity, and the benefits, which are continuously built up, keep me going with SVG. I hope this journey continues with the same attitude and even more exciting challenges. Happy Birthday, System Verification Germany!” (Aleksey Kuzmin, Software QA Consultant)
“I started at the beginning of 2023 at SVG in Hamburg. A very good welcome was given to me; my first impression was that everyone cared about each other and had wonderful team spirit. Now I cannot wait to start at my first project, and I am incredibly happy to be part of SYVE.” (Christoph Evers, Software QA Consultant)
Not only has our internal collaboration evolved, but it also upgraded our external way of working with our customers and partners. At the beginning of our journey, we worked a lot with the broker business, but nowadays we are proud to have worked with 4 direct customers, also collaborating with companies from sectors such as telecommunications, finance, energy, automotive, public sector, or public transportation. We are keen on offering our QA expertise throughout the software development life cycle, working with test automation using not only frameworks such as selenium, Cypress or Appium, but also fewer common ones such as Tosca, Ranorex or Playwright. Additionally, we are having with 3 customers.
Besides offering our QA expertise in assignments, we are currently providing software testing as a service and have expanded our services within Nearshoring and Software Due Diligence, where we have 2 existing customers.
“System Verification’s 4th birthday really sets a milestone in the young company history: By now, you can really see the successful expansion to Germany, which can be backup not only by the actual numbers. A good example is the rapid introduction of the Tech Due Diligence / Software Due Diligence Service to the German Portfolio. This demonstrates System Verifications’ commitment to meeting customer needs and staying ahead in the competitive industry, but also highlights their ability to adjust to current market developments and bring in new customer segments. There is so much more to come!” (Martin Rütz, Regional Manager & Consultant)
“Looking back to our first 4 years, the fundament of our story was continuity, teamwork with an unbelievably great team with different complementing strengths, confidence, and persistence. This year, we have already started going beyond boundaries and will focus even more on nearshore deliveries. We have great capabilities here, look into it.” (Erwin Probst, Managing Director System Verification Germany)
“Since summer 2022, SVG has been working with a team of almost 10 employees for a successful and renowned customer to increase the level of test automation and professionalize the entire test management process. In addition, we help our client to improve their strategy regarding the provision of test data and test environments. Our team works closely with the client so that the project goals to date have been achieved in time, budget, and quality. This is only possible because of the excellent teamwork.” (Julian Göbert, Consultant Manager und Consultant)
Apart from becoming more mature in our internal processes, activities for our employees and our external collaborations with partners and brokers, we have stepped up in taking more social responsibility for society. Next to the global initiatives at System Verification, we have become charity partners to Zukunft für Bweyas Kinder e.V.. Since the start of our collaboration in September 2021, we are aiming to support kids from the orphanage in Uganda with nutrition and education. Our project at the moment is to rebuild the kitchen building.
Considering that a lot has happened within these years, and four years is quite a brief period, we are sure that there is much more to come and to expect in the future. Our goal for 2023 is to focus on building up a talented team of talented people in our new location in Munich. We will continue to grow in the whole of Germany, and we will dedicate ourselves to expanding our services even further. As achieving our targets might be our biggest goal, our highest priority will always be to keep up our team spirit and the culture within.
2023, and the years beyond will bring us many new adventures and challenges which we are looking forward to embracing. As to everyone who will join us along the way, we are eager and happy to meet you.
