New doubleSlash Software Innovation Center: A workplace of the future
The doubleSlash Software Innovation Center (SIZ) has been built just a few meters from the software company's old headquarters. There is space for around 300 workstations—on around 5,000 square meters, including a large atrium in the center of the building, as well as a spacious outdoor area and roof terrace for a pleasant working and feel-good atmosphere.
"For us, the SIZ is the answer to the question of how we want to live and work in the future and how this can be optimally combined," says Andreas Strobel, Managing Director of doubleSlash. This includes zones that enable concentrated work and also offer space for communicative work. Equally important are communal and leisure areas. The atrium offers space for active knowledge exchange and is ideal for events thanks to its technical equipment. "The SIZ will therefore become an important place for networking in the region and digitalization projects at the business location of Lake Constance and beyond in the future," said Strobel.
He took the guests on an entertaining journey through time about the origins of doubleSlash and the development of the workplace of the future for innovative software solutions. The optimal premises play an important role in this. Strobel also gave an insight into the corporate culture and values that complete doubleSlash's recipe for success.
Mayor Andreas Brand: "This is a milestone that doubleSlash has set here, you are close to the customer and close to the product. Keep up this momentum and speed and I am sure that this will not be the last milestone that we will be able to witness."
Bernhard Ölz, CEO of the PRISMA Group, gave an insight into the development of the SIZ and the future vision of the Competence Park FRIEDRICHSHAFEN: "The long-standing trusting partnership between doubleSlash and PRISMA has made the conception and implementation of the Software Innovation Center possible. This is an important step for the future viability of the entire Competence Park. doubleSlash is the pioneer in digital transformation, just as it was 15 years ago."
On a subsequent tour of the building, the visitors were given an impression of the day-to-day work and the thematic areas in which the software company operates—from the networking of vehicles and machines to modern data processing with AI and machine learning to the billing of digital business models. In short: the digital transformation in all areas of society
Platform for technology, innovation and progress
With around 40 companies and over 1,150 employees, Competence Park FRIED-RICHSHAFEN has established itself as an innovative location for companies and institutions in the Lake Constance region. They appreciate the individually tailored rental space and the wide range of shared infrastructure facilities. These include seminar rooms and event spaces, childcare facilities in the WIKI and Seehasen children's houses and a high-quality range of restaurants. These offers are complemented by the "Innovation Bodensee" initiative with a wide range of points of contact, cooperation opportunities and Innovation Nights as well as numerous other events on various topics.
