ISO-Gruppe Expands Its DevOps Expertise Through a Partnership with Codesphere

ISO Public Services GmbH, a company of the ISO-Gruppe, and the Karlsruhe-based software company Codesphere have entered into a strategic partnership. The goal is to develop consulting, training, and certification offerings centered on the Codesphere platform and to support companies in modernizing their software development. Codesphere is contributing its platform technology, while the ISO-Gruppe is contributing its consulting, implementation, and training expertise.

Building Know-How in Modern DevOps Processes

The collaboration focuses on developing the ISO-Gruppe’s own consulting and implementation know-how, as well as training and certification programs for customers, partners, and internal teams. Through training sessions, workshops, and consulting services, the ISO-Gruppe supports companies and organizations in systematically implementing the Codesphere platform, integrating it into existing development processes, and building the necessary in-house know-how.

Looking ahead, there are also plans to expand the range of certification offerings to provide transparent verification of acquired skills and to promote the sustainable use of the platform. “With Codesphere, we are gaining a technology partner whose platform perfectly complements our decades of implementation experience. Together, we can take customer projects from concept to production faster because we combine state-of-the-art technology with proven consulting and project expertise,” says Johannes Reichel, Member of the Management Board of the ISO-Gruppe.

“Our vision has always been to give companies back control over their software – regardless of where and how it is operated. But technology alone isn’t enough; you also need the knowledge to truly use it. With the ISO-Gruppe, we’ve found exactly the right partner to bridge this gap and help us spread our mission far and wide,” says Elias Schneider, CEO of Codesphere.

Greater Independence in Software Development

The collaboration gives customers and partners access to a cloud-agnostic multi-cloud platform for cloud-native development – supplemented by consulting and training services from the ISO-Gruppe. This provides companies and organizations with support in modernizing their development processes, shortening development and deployment cycles, and building the necessary in-house expertise. This enables innovations to be implemented faster, time-to-market to be reduced, and dependencies on individual cloud providers to be minimized.

With this partnership, the ISO-Gruppe is expanding its service portfolio in the areas of DevOps and cloud-native development. Both companies plan to further expand their collaboration in the coming years.
