Why fecher?

An interview with Eberhard Fecher, CEO of fecher

Mr. Fecher, could you explain why your company's name is "fecher" just like yours?

When I founded the company some 25 years ago, it was simply a "sole trader" and did not have its own name. Since then, we have grown have grown quite a bit and entered into the commercial register a long time ago. Nevertheless, I still take full responsibility for the company with my good name. As an entrepreneur, this is my philosophy, of which I am proud and which our clients greatly appreciate.

But are you not a family company? It sounds like it.

Although we outgrew the family company stage long ago, what has not changed is the close collaboration within an experienced team. Many of our 50+ employees have been with us for more than 10 years and all are permanent, salaried employees.

We feel this is important, as it ensures continuity for client projects and ongoing client relationships. Even if several years have passed, when a client returns, our consultants will still be there, for example, to support new developers that have recently come on board. This also works quite well because we have a number of branches in the German-speaking region, Eastern Europe and the U.S., so that our team members are never all that far from their clients. The flexibility exists however to expand the team at any time by sending colleagues from other branches if help is needed due to a sudden bottleneck or additional requirements. Using cutting-edge collaboration tools and the Internet, our nearshoring team in Romania can also be seamlessly integrated.

What are fecher's specialist fields?

We focus on application modernization for database-based business applications. In the past quarter-century, we have acquired quite a bit of expertise in this area. Initially using 4GL tools such as Gupta Team Developer followed by relational databases such as SQLBase, PostgreSQL and SQL Server, we are now also using frameworks such as .NET fairly often.

Our employees' practical approach is reinforced by hands-on experience gained with our in-house application, hunter recruiting solution, as well as insights gained on client projects. They are excellent all-rounders that understand what matters in a software project. At other firms, a separate specialist has to be brought in for each topic. Here, a handful of experienced employees can often handle the entire project scope.
