Audits
- Code Review
  - Program code mirrors corporate culture.
    
    We need to understand the past in order to be able to set the course for the future.
- Security Audit
  - An investment that will pay off with increased security.
    
    Tools can find existing security vulnerabilities. We detect and assess future risks, to ensure software that is in a state of flux stays secure.
- Due Diligence
  - Decide about an investment in good conscience.
    
    We help to ponder chances and risks, and show potentials and achievable synergies.
- Process Analysis
  - Why not take a short cut on the way from idea to feature?
    
    Higher throughput, better quality, and fewer errors thanks to improved collaboration between business, developers and operations.
- Architecture Review
  - Software architecture, whether planned or created by accident, changes in the course of time.
    
    Understanding the status quo helps to strike a balance between continuity and change.
Recognize and limit risks, avoid bottlenecks and unlock potential.

We will analyze the status quo and work out as well as evaluate different courses of action.

The consultants of thePHP.cc not only managed to explain us what was wrong with the way we built software. More importantly they knew how to make change happen.

Consulting
- Employees
  - The whole is more than the sum of its parts.
    
    We help to select and judge job applicants (we are not a staffing company). We support your employer branding through our unparalleled familiarity with the PHP community.
- Service Providers
  - Choose the right service provider. We are neutral and critical and will assess qualification and performance. We will define standards where necessary.
    
    We mediate between parties to facilitate communication.
- Technology
  - Pragmatic or innovative? Technology decisions leave a mark on companies and projects for a long time.
    
    We manage market transparency and ensure a carefully considered and objective decision.
- Project Method
  - Thanks to many years of experience, we know what works well.
    
    Based on proven building blocks, we create processes and procedures from within the teams that ensure productivity and fit the corporate culture.
- Architecture
  - Pragmatic and modern, innovative and adequate. Interfacing between old and new.
    
    We create sustainable software architectures that take existing systems into account and inspire developers.
Make the right decisions, with the help of objective and neutral consultants.

Together, we will find the right way between the poles of different approaches, project methodologies, and external influences.

With the support of thePHP.cc we were able to make a calculated decision for our in-house development.

Project Support
- Sprint Support
- Milestone Review
  - How is the project progressing? Will the next milestone be reached, with which amount of technical debt?
    
    We impartially judge the quality and sustainability of project work. And we have good advice when a project gets stuck.
- Guided Refactoring
  - Cut costs through continuous, targeted refactoring. Tailor-made recommendations will yield steady improvements in your code base.
    
    We will coach your developers in implementation as needed.
- Infrastructure and Cloud
  - Fail-safety and scalability thanks to the cloud.
    
    We steer applications and IT landscapes on their journey from a monolith into the cloud.

Training
- Training
  - Sebastian has been a great asset both in reviewing our PHPUnit codebase and in training our team. One area where he has been especially helpful is in helping new hires familiar with unit testing in other languages transition their skills over to PHP and PHPUnit.
    Noah Sussmann, Test Architect, Etsy
- Inhouse Training
  - The interesting presentation of the topics conduced the motivation of the participants. Mr. Priebsch was able to provide profound solutions for all of our 4com-specific problems and questions.
    Christian Koch, 4com GmbH & Co. KG
- Live Coding Workshops
  - See how solutions for real problems are created live: team work in the project will yield useful results.
    
    Thanks to our experience, we know which approaches will work.
- Coaching
  - Wind of change for an employee, or a whole team.
    
    We ask the right questions, convey new ideas and support in creating efficient solutions.
- Training Days
  - Inhouse or offsite: a consolidated training for several days will yield new ideas and perspectives.
    
    Shared experiences will bring teams and departments closer together.
Practical experience rather than book-lore: we will demonstrate the right approach. Instead of presentation slides we focus on interaction and live coding.

You will learn from leading, internationally acclaimed experts.
