Software-first as a winning mindset
It may seem far off, but the transformation is already well underway. And it applies to everyone – whether you manufacture steel and gas turbines or work in warehousing or defense industries. The examples are many: in the automotive industry, cars have become rolling computers with connected services and AI assistants. Banks have become digital platforms, driven by fintech and AI-based risk analysis. Healthcare relies on telemedicine, smart diagnostics, and digital records.
The manufacturing industry is increasingly software-driven – from predictive analytics to automated production. The telecom sector has shifted from hardware to software-driven services. In the energy sector, AI is used to optimize smart grids and renewable sources. Retail uses recommendation engines and automation to stay ahead.
Even real estate and agriculture are being transformed – with smart buildings, connected properties, and precision farming leading the way.
Industry after industry shows the same trend: software is no longer just a support system – it is the engine of innovation and growth.
At HiQ, we are convinced that software is a critical success factor for any modern organization.
HiQ has over three decades of experience guiding companies through this transformation. We’ve seen how companies that dare to put software at the center not only manage to adapt – they lead the way. Whether it’s about accelerating innovation or enabling new levels of efficiency, software is the single factor with the greatest potential to make a difference.
The digital revolution is not something we at HiQ merely follow with curiosity – we are deeply involved in driving it. Together with our customers, we lead their journey into the software-driven world. For us, it’s not just about solving problems in the moment – it’s about creating long-term success.
