Because we would like to welcome a new member.

BiZZdesign was founded in 2001, and we have grown into an international company with employees around the globe.

We want to make sure people feel at home, and invest in spending time together, both at work as well as outside of work.

As a company, we know we cannot grow if our people don’t get the opportunity to develop themselves.

Our offer:

An open and informal software team with a passion for our product
The ability to make a change and provide input on a strategic level

Our software approach:

We believe in being as open and transparent as possible, we are a software company above all. However, our website is naturally oriented towards our customers and will not give you an impression of the way BiZZdesign creates software.

Below you will find a brief overview of the tools, procedures, and technologies we use.

We divide our group into multiple Agile feature teams, with a very strong focus on the self-organizing ability of the team. We keep our teams small, focused and co-located allowing for a highly collaborative environment to exist.
A team focusses on one feature at a time, typically completing the work in 2-4 sprints of two weeks each.
We release every 2 sprints following the ‘release train’ concept. If a feature is done, it will be on the next ‘train’ leaving, if it is not done it will be behind a feature switch and take a future train.
Each team is responsible for the feature, from requirements to testing to deployment. They discuss the requirements with the Product Owner and the team will determine the best (technologically motivated) approach to realizing the feature.
As things change, teams grow, new team members join we will also adjust our processes so they continue to work for the team. We’ll automate anything we can, keeping the teams focused on the work that matters.
We utilize the following tools in our day-to-day work:
- Confluence

Our HoriZZon product is developed in Angular, offering a rich and responsive web interface for our end-users. It allows them to analyze relevant data to answer their business questions, enables easy collaboration with other users, provides easy-to-use data contribution and gives our end-users valuable new insights. It is powered by Elastic Search and powerful Kibana dashboards to provide fast and valuable insights needed to make strategic decisions.
Our Server components are developed in Java and use the Play Framework as its base. It stores its data in an SQL Server or Postgres database.
Our Enterprise Studio solution is developed using C++ and is packaged with our Activity Console which is developed in C#. Both utilize SQLite databases for data storage. The activity Console communicates via a REST API with our Team Server. We utilize AWS AppStream 2.0 technology to provide an interactive video stream for our cloud environment to our end-users, allowing them to access the full power of Enterprise Studio from the comfort of their own preferred browser.
Finally, we deploy our solutions in a cloud solution based on AWS. We work closely with AWS experts in accelerating and improving our offering.
