One of the rare companies that is both led by a Sr. Management Team that genuinely gets both how valuable and difficult it is to produce high-quality software. A relentless focus on customer value and employee satisfaction has allowed Germany-based AOE GmbH and its US division AOE, Inc. the freedom to tackle some of the toughest business challenges that they or their customers have ever faced.AOEs expanding portfolio of innovative solutions continue to redefine the landscape of what is considered best practices in software development, cloud computing, business agility and continuous integration and deployment. From the CEO to the most recent newly hired team member, each day the people of AOE build teams, partnerships, solutions and ultimately their company culture with a devotion to excellence and a tireless focus on customer needs.Its commitment to Free and Open Source Software & Platforms is driven not by some ideological mantra, but rather a frank and honest assessment that is fundamentally based on a few very simple concepts:1) Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) provides AOE and its customers a better long-term set of Strategic & Tactical advantages and a lower Total Cost of Ownership versus proprietary code.2) In nearly every single situation, FOSS offers more flexibility to its users which enables companies to let their business requirements and customer demand drive its technology investments instead of limiting the focus to the business objectives constrained by their technological stacks.3) Always prefer FOSS to closed and non-free alternatives and wherever possible if a requirement is NEEDED that is not currently satisfied by an existing FOSS system, extend one to include that feature and release the new functionality back to the community.
