Our iits family has grown steadily over the past few years.

Meet Kumo – our new mascot!
Meet Kumo – our new mascot!

What once seemed like a dream for all of us has, over time, become a reality. Our passion for software development, cloud, DevOps, and AI, as well as our talented colleagues, have made all of this possible. Our culture has allowed us to successfully implement our ideas and gain a lot of experience.

Of course, it wasn’t always easy, and we also ventured into the unknown, as we always want to meet our customers’ needs and remain flexible. Our commitment to developing sustainable software products, our community, and our teamwork are qualities that define and best describe us.

Because we never want to lose or forget our values and because we are aware of how special and not to be taken for granted our connections are, we wanted to have a symbol—something that represents us and with which we can identify. And so, we came up with the idea of welcoming Kumo into our family: our red panda mascot!

What a perfect match!

It was clear from the start that something had been missing the whole time, but we didn’t know exactly what it was—until Kumo entered our lives. And now we’ll explain why:
Beginning with the name, Kumo translates to “cloud” in Japanese—what a beautiful coincidence, because cloud is one of our specializations.

His red color stands for his passion, strength, attentiveness, and culture—these are exactly the values we don’t want to forget and want to preserve. But Kumo didn’t just impress us with his appearance – it was his character that won us over!

Kumo is always ready to help when someone needs it, and you feel comfortable around him because he lives his authenticity. He does all of this gladly and is happy while doing it, as long as he can wear his comfortable clothes and there’s always a coffee waiting for him!
