Experience

25 Years. Global Enterprises. Systems That Couldn’t Fail.

Before Ubuntu Software built the platform where AI designs reality, we spent decades building real-time, mission-critical systems for organizations where downtime wasn’t an option.

This is the foundation everything else is built on.


Industries

Investment Banking & Finance

Nomura — One of Japan’s largest investment banks. Trading systems where milliseconds mattered and reliability was non-negotiable.

ABN AMRO — Global banking infrastructure. Systems processing billions in transactions, operating across time zones, integrated with markets worldwide.

Real-time data. Zero tolerance for failure. Global scale.


Automotive

Audi — Manufacturing systems for one of Germany’s premier automotive brands. Production line integration. Supply chain connectivity. Quality systems that tracked every component.

Precision engineering meets software engineering.


Energy

BP — Systems for one of the world’s largest energy companies. Operational technology. Data integration across global assets. Real-time monitoring at scale.

When the systems matter as much as the infrastructure they monitor.


Retail

Metro AG — One of Europe’s largest retail and wholesale companies. Inventory systems spanning thousands of locations. Real-time stock management. Supply chain visibility.

Scale measured in stores, warehouses, and transactions per second.


Engineering & Facility Management

Bilfinger — One of Germany’s leading engineering and services companies. AI-powered facility management systems. Digital twin implementation. IoT integration at enterprise scale.

Where our current work in digital twins began.


Media & Entertainment

BMG — Global music company. Rights management systems. Royalty processing. Catalog integration across acquisitions.

Complex data, complex rules, global operations.


Government

European Union — Systems at continental scale. Multi-language. Multi-jurisdiction. Compliance-critical.

When the stakeholder is 450 million people.


Research & Development

CSIRO — Australia’s national science agency. Master’s degree research in 3D CAD and building sustainability. Built software for volumetric extraction from 2D and 3D CAD models, matched with materials databases and embodied energy coefficients to calculate the total energy embedded in buildings.

The system evolved into an audit tool—bringing computational rigor to sustainability assessment before “green building” was mainstream.

Where the intersection of 3D geometry, materials science, and real-world impact first became clear.


What We Built

Across these clients, common patterns emerged in what we delivered:

Real-Time Systems

Not batch processing. Not eventual consistency. Systems where data flowed in real-time:

  • Trading platforms processing market data in milliseconds
  • Manufacturing systems tracking production as it happened
  • Retail inventory updating across thousands of locations
  • Facility management responding to sensor data continuously

Real-time isn’t a feature. It’s an architecture.


Distributed Collaboration

Before “collaboration software” was a category:

  • Engineering teams across continents working on shared systems
  • Trading desks in multiple time zones with consistent data
  • Manufacturing facilities coordinated in real-time
  • Supply chains visible end-to-end

Distributed teams need distributed systems.


Mission-Critical Reliability

Systems that couldn’t go down:

  • Trading platforms where downtime meant regulatory consequences
  • Manufacturing lines where stoppage meant millions in losses
  • Retail systems where Black Friday doesn’t wait
  • Energy systems where monitoring isn’t optional

Reliability isn’t achieved. It’s engineered.


Integration at Scale

Nothing exists in isolation:

  • Connecting legacy systems to modern architectures
  • Integrating acquisitions without disruption
  • Bridging proprietary systems with open standards
  • Building APIs before “API-first” was a term

Integration is where most projects fail. We made it work.


Enterprise-Grade Security

Global enterprises don’t take chances:

  • Financial systems meeting regulatory requirements across jurisdictions
  • Manufacturing systems protecting intellectual property
  • Energy systems securing critical infrastructure
  • Government systems meeting continental compliance standards

Security built in, not bolted on.


Technical Depth

The systems we’ve built required mastery across:

Backend Systems

  • High-performance server architectures
  • Message-oriented middleware
  • Database systems at scale
  • Event-driven architectures

Real-Time Data

  • Stream processing
  • Complex event processing
  • Time-series data management
  • Low-latency messaging

Integration

  • Enterprise service buses
  • API design and management
  • Legacy system integration
  • Protocol translation

Infrastructure

  • Distributed systems design
  • High availability architectures
  • Disaster recovery
  • Global deployment

Platforms

  • Linux (server, desktop, embedded)
  • OpenBSD for security-critical systems
  • Cross-platform GUI development
  • Mobile (iOS, Android)
  • Docker and Kubernetes deployment

Why This Matters Now

Every lesson from 25 years of enterprise systems applies to what we’re building:

Enterprise ExperiencePlatform Application
Real-time trading dataReal-time design collaboration
Distributed manufacturingDistributed design teams
Facility management IoTDigital twin architecture
Financial system reliabilityEngineering-grade platform
Global enterprise scaleGlobal design teams

We’re not learning how to build production systems. We’ve been doing it for decades.


The Difference

Many startups pitch vision without foundation.

We have:

  • Proven track record — Systems running in production at global scale
  • Enterprise relationships — We know how large organizations actually work
  • Technical depth — Architectural decisions made from experience, not theory
  • Reliability mindset — Building for production from day one

25 years of building what works. Now applied to what’s next.
