Why companies work with us

You have more plans than people to build them

Maybe your developers are busy keeping everything running, or you don't have a development team yet. Either way, we take on the technical work: the new idea, the growing backlog, or the platform that's ready for its next step.

  • Bring your ideas to life

    Have an idea, but no one to build it? We start with a quick prototype and test it with real users, so you only invest once you know it works.

  • Work smarter

    A lot of work is still done by hand, or kept alive by older systems. We automate it, so your people have more time for the work that really needs them.

  • Offer your customers something new

    Whether it's an online portal, an app or a smart assistant, we build it together with you, from the first idea to the day it goes live.

  • Ready for the next step

    Is your software starting to feel the strain as you grow? There's no need to start over. We improve it step by step while it keeps running, so it stays fast, secure and reliable as more people use it.

Engineering

We build it, and we keep it running

We run our own platform, check every change and keep a close eye on things after launch. That's how we take responsibility for your software, not just deliver it.

  • Our own platform, in Europe

    Kubernetes and virtualisation clusters in Germany and Finland, with backups every day.

  • Every change reviewed and tested

    A merge request, a code review by a developer, and automatic tests and security scans before anything goes live.

  • Updates without downtime

    New versions start next to the old ones, and only take over once they're healthy.

  • We spot problems early

    Grafana, New Relic and Sentry keep an eye on the platform and your application, so we can often fix an issue before you notice it.

About El Niño

A team of more than 50 people in Enschede and The Hague, building software since 2005. We give our people room to learn, try new things and grow, and you see that in the work we deliver.

How we work

One dedicated team, always within reach

You work with a fixed team that knows your product, your people and the reasons behind earlier decisions. That makes working together quick and personal.

  1. 01

    A fixed team per customer

    The same developers, designers and product owner stay on your product, so everything they learn about it stays with you.

  2. 02

    Talk to the person doing the work

    You can message the developer who built a feature directly. Questions, improvements and bug fixes are picked up quickly, often within hours.

  3. 03

    Room to try things

    Trust gives us room to suggest improvements and try new approaches. Some of our best work started exactly like that.

  4. 04

    Security comes first

    We patch vulnerabilities and keep dependencies up to date as soon as it's needed, without waiting for a change request.

  5. 05

    A sparring partner

    Want to test an idea, challenge a plan or make a technical decision? We're happy to think along, and you can always count on our honest advice.
