We have now moved to a new location: from Deckerstra\u00dfe 29 to a rented house in Daimlerstra\u00dfe 21.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>It is only a few hundred meters as the crow flies \u2013 and yet a noticeable change.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4724\" data-end=\"4785\">[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8220;https:\/\/www.stl-software.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/2025_11_Deckerstrasse29_Abschied-1.jpg&#8220; title_text=&#8220;2025_11_Deckerstrasse29_Abschied&#8220; _builder_version=&#8220;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8220;4.27.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;b9bb25d6-91bf-4e23-95cd-4a9e00f511ab&#8220; hover_enabled=&#8220;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220; sticky_enabled=&#8220;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3><span>Why a new location?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span>The official reason is quickly summarized: our lease in the Carr\u00e9 expired, costs were rising, and several conditions simply no longer fit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span>At the same time, it was the right moment to make a change that gives us more freedom to shape our environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span>Challenges we faced in the Carr\u00e9 are now a thing of the past. These included loudspeaker tests during customer calls and unpredictable maintenance work in the building.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span>Instead, we have moved into a three-story residential building. We now maintain it as tenants, but we can also shape it according to our own needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span>More independence, more identity<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span>At our new location, we can express what matters to us much more clearly:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span>\u2013 Independence, which is deeply rooted in our company philosophy<\/span><br \/><span>\u2013 Team closeness, which supports our daily work on cimoio \u2013 our software for training management, training organization, and qualification management<\/span><br \/><span>\u2013 Personal design choices that were limited in the old office<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span>Working across three floors will take some getting used to after years on a single hallway. However, the greater variety of rooms also opens up new possibilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span>This, in turn, supports our shift from the model \u201cevery customer project has one contact person\u201d to truly cross-functional project units.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span>This is an important step in the further development of our training management and learning management software.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span>The move itself: an open-heart procedure<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span>Relocating during ongoing operations is always a balancing act. This is especially true for a software company that continues to develop a hybrid training management and learning management system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span>Alongside the physical move, we carried out hosting migrations for several customers. In addition, we transferred internal systems and coordinated structural changes in the new building.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span>At the same time, we used the move to implement several technical improvements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span>This includes, among other things, a more flexible assignment of employees within the internal network. As a result, it will be significantly easier in the future to switch workplaces or reorganize rooms without technical dependencies getting in the way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span>Therefore, the relocation offers an opportunity not only for spatial change but also for a more modern and agile technical setup.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span>There was one small frustration: our phone system could not be activated in time due to an address mix-up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span>For existing customers, this was manageable. However, for new prospects it was less than ideal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span>Fortunately, our digital infrastructure is stable enough that we could bridge this period smoothly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span>Atmosphere: from shopping center to residential neighborhood<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span>Our new location is situated in a quiet residential area. The difference is striking:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span>What we\u2019re leaving behind:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span>\u2013 spontaneous errands<\/span><br \/><span>\u2013 instant lunch options<\/span><br \/><span>\u2013 office supplies \u201cjust around the corner\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span>What we\u2019re gaining:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span>\u2013 peace and quiet<\/span><br \/><span>\u2013 no distracting announcements<\/span><br \/><span>\u2013 a pleasantly private atmosphere<\/span><br \/><span>\u2013 a garden for team events<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Overall, this is an environment that helps us work more grounded, focused, and personally. At the same time, it supports the ongoing development of cimoio in a calm, concentrated setting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"3823\" data-end=\"3853\">Looking back \u2013 and ahead<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3854\" data-end=\"3961\"><a href=\"\/cms\/en\/about-stl-gmbh\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"about us\">STL GmbH has now moved for the fourth time since its founding in 2003.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>From our new office, those who have been with us for a long time can even see the location we rented before moving into the Carr\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>For some, it\u2019s nostalgic.
