H2 invent is committed to digital sovereignty based on Open Source.[2] The company pursues a holistic approach: From initial concept development to deployment and productive operation, H2 invent supports its customers through agile and sustainable projects.[2] The company's philosophy is based on proven open source technologies, complete data control and hosting in German data centers - to make organizations more independent of large foreign providers and to consistently comply with European security and data protection standards.[1]
The combination of deep technical know-how, a collaborative development culture and a clear value orientation makes H2 invent a strong partner for demanding IT projects.[2]
H2 invent offers two central software solutions:
Meetling – a highly secure video conferencing solution for companies, authorities and VS (classified information) areas.[1] The system is equipped with modern functions such as whiteboard, notes and breakout rooms and enables access via browser, telephone and mobile apps.[1] H2 invent works with leading VS cloud providers and also offers Meetling as a SaaS variant.[1]
SKiB – a digital solution for school and all-day care that combines online registration, efficient administration, communication, accounting and secure data processing in one system.[1] SKiB supports schools, providers and municipalities with cost-efficient and customizable solutions.[4]
In addition to products, H2 invent offers extensive IT consulting and services:[4]
The company uses modern, secure frameworks such as PHP Symfony, Node.js and Python for the backend as well as TWIG and Angular.js for the frontend.[4]
Since its foundation, H2 invent has consistently relied on Open Source technologies for secure communication, secure video conferencing and secure audio conferencing.[2] In addition, the company develops additional open source projects such as Jitsi Admin (for managing video conferences) and an Open Source data protection management system.[4]
To secure communication, H2 invent relies on end-to-end encryption with OpenPGP - both for e-mails and for sensitive documents.[7]
H2 invent was founded by the brothers Emanuel and Andreas Holzmann, who previously worked in a leading IT consulting company and carried out projects with DAX companies and international corporations.[3] They are now passing on this expertise to small and medium-sized companies, public sector organizations, institutions and non-profit organizations.[3]
H2 invent presents itself as an active player in the European IT community and shows commitment to current topics such as on-premise AI for sovereign digital states.[8] The company is constantly looking for talented people who want to advance the open source idea, and thus offers opportunities for collaboration in an agile and open team.[4]
With its holistic approach - from secure communication to data management and educational solutions - H2 invent helps organizations in Germany and Europe to maintain their digital independence while adhering to the highest security standards.
