Our commitment - Fair - Sustainable - Local
Fair
Our team members treat each other with respect and the individual skills, opinions and contributions of each person are valued. An atmosphere of mutual respect creates a productive, sustainable and motivating working environment at ORCA.
The same applies to our customers: Fair dealings with our customers involve clear and transparent communication. ORCA customers are regularly kept well informed about the progress, opportunities and challenges of a project.
Sustainable
Our sustainable software development refers to approaches and practices that aim to develop environmentally friendly, socially acceptable and economically sustainable software solutions.
Sustainable software development requires a holistic approach that goes beyond purely technical implementation. By considering diverse approaches and making conscious decisions, developers can help to develop more environmentally conscious and long-term viable software solutions.
Local
Our location in Pratteln enables close cooperation within the team. The physical proximity facilitates direct communication and personal exchange. This allows problems and challenges to be discussed quickly and solutions to be developed efficiently. This promotes a high level of efficiency and ensures a smooth workflow.
Without exception, we develop everything locally in-house - saving resources and time.
Regular donation to free software projects
Donations make it possible for FOSS projects to flourish. They help cover the costs of infrastructure, hosting services, servers, domain names and other operational expenses. In addition, donations allow developers to focus on their work by providing them with financial support to meet their basic needs and devote their time to developing free software projects.
Open source development
Our involvement in the development of open source projects gives us access to high-quality software components. We use open source tools and libraries to implement our own projects faster and more efficiently.
Collaboration on open source projects offers the community many advantages. It enables all developers to share their expertise and work together on innovative solutions. As a result, potential errors are quickly rectified, suggestions for improvement are made and the software is adapted to various requirements. This promotes the transparency and quality of the software, leads to faster development cycles and contributes to the creation of a lively and dynamic developer community.
As orca sponsors, we directly support specific WWF projects that promote the protection of endangered species worldwide. Your support makes it possible to protect habitats, combat poaching, conduct research and monitoring and implement educational programs.
Every sponsorship counts and makes a difference. Together we can ensure that the fascinating world of orcas is preserved for future generations.
