We are a software company that knows what it is like to be the customer of its own code.

Why hemju

The name comes from Helmut Juskewycz. That is deliberate. A company name based on a person is a promise: if something goes wrong, you know who to call. In an industry where responsibility tends to disappear between roles, we think that is the more honest approach.

What sets us apart

Most software suppliers build systems and hand them over. Most product companies build one system and run it. We do both — since 2012, at the same time.

That sounds like a detail. It is the whole difference. If you only build, you never learn which decision comes back at you in year six. If you only run, you only ever see one system. We see both: the consequences of our own decisions since 2012 — and the patterns across many client projects.

What we believe

Software is a building, not a piece of furniture. You do not buy it once, you maintain it. If you do not plan for the running costs, you have not planned.

Simple beats clever. The cleverest code we ever wrote cost us the most five years later.

Honesty is a business model. We turn work down when we are not the right fit. We say so when we have got an estimate wrong. That costs us in the short term — and it is the reason some clients have been with us since [YEAR].

Proximity counts. Same time zone, same legal system, same language, same understanding of what a deadline is.

Editorial notes

Optional, if the renaming is to be communicated — in that case add the following paragraph to the ‘Why hemju’ section: Until now we have been known as lingohub GmbH, named after our product. Because the services business has grown into something of its own, it gets a name of its own.
