30 years is a long time.
Especially when you’re ahead of it.

The digital transformation is changing everything. In its power and totality, it resembles a force of nature. We want to understand it, master it and make it usable – today as we did 30 years ago. For Comma Soft, digitalization has always been first and foremost curiosity, never just a business model. That explains why it is almost exclusively scientists that work at Comma Soft. Every day, they try to transform the future afresh into a functioning piece of the present. This requires an open mind, the desire to play around, but above all an understanding of the intricacies of business. Only then can ideas come to life, innovations become reality and progress become part of everyday life.
