Do you want to know how our colleague Hubert quickly organised the last "Frühschoppen" at the office?

TNG is participating in this year's "Apptoberfest", a challenge organised by the Atlassian Community. It gives you the chance to get to know three of our apps that we hope you'll love! To lend us your support, just "like" our presentations by the end of October.

• Configuration Cleaner for Jira
• Custom Content for Jira

Software is like a beautiful garden. Without constant care and attention it can quickly get out of control. The renovation of existing software systems is one of TNG's core activities. Christoph Stock has been responsible for many such projects over the years. Now he has assembled his knowledge and experience in the book "Guide to IT Restructuring" (in German). He shares strategies, background information, tips and checklists for carrying out IT restructuring projects and reducing technical debt. Do you have an IT renovation project and need support? Please contact us: info(at)tngtech.com

The open source library ArchUnit has reached version 1.0.0 after more than 6 years of continuous development. The tool for architectural maintainability and consistency of Java projects was originally created by our TNG colleague Peter Gafert. To date it has more than 60 contributors and over half a million monthly downloads from Maven Central.

Version 1.0.0 fully supports analysis of lambda calls and method references. The APIs have been overhauled to further reduce the risk of misuse and guide you in writing more efficient and concise rules for your application's architecture.

ArchUnit can help you with dependencies between packages or components, naming conventions, annotations and layered or onion architecture. So, if you're not using ArchUnit yet, give it a try! And feel free to reach out with any feedback or questions onn GitHub.

Will artificial intelligence be able to take over the work of humans? How creative can machines be? With their AI experiment, the reporters of the children's news show "neuneinhalb" try to answer these questions. An artificial intelligence writes this episode's script and also composes the background music. Our Innovation Hacking experts Jonas, Thomas and Martin offer advice and support. They show how Deepfakes can be used to switch the hosts and also look into the dangers behind the technology. The show for old and young is available here (in German).

On 1 June 2022 we founded our first subsidiary in the Baltics. Starting now, we are delighted to be able to provide our clients with high level services and colleagues with projects in Tallinn, Estonia. If you want to become part of TNG Estonia, you can find the job ad here.

In addition to our Big Techday and the big summer party, our annual summer retreat also took place in July. The event is held as a bar camp and all colleagues can contribute ideas, plan and discuss the strategical development of the company. The beautiful Alpine setting plays backdrop to a host of activities, from alpaca hiking to white-water rafting, through which it's just as easy to make new acquaintances as it is to see old faces again. We're already very much looking forward to the summer retreat in 2023!

Registration for our Big Techday 22 is open! We look forward to welcoming you on 15 July at Motorworld Munich.

We are happy to now be a member of the German-New Zealand Chamber of Commerce. TNG ANZ keeps growing. In June, we will have eight employees in Australia.  In an interview, our colleague and Managing Director of TNG ANZ Michael Fickinger talks about TNG's motivations to expand to the other side of the globe and gives advice for other companies planning the same.

On April 1st, we opened our new office in Karlsruhe! Our wifi and coffee machine are already up and running. We are happy to have found a very nice office at RaumFabrik Durlach.

TNG is becoming more and more international! True to the motto "Follow The Sun", a second TNG colleague moved from Germany to the other side of the globe at the beginning of January to support our Australian branch. The subsidiary was founded in April last year and is now fully established. As of the beginning of March, a total of four employees will be working Down Under - and we are still expanding.
The pandemic has permanently changed our working environment and significantly accelerated the trend towards remote work. The shift to telecommuting has taught us that we can work together successfully from multiple locations. An international company has some benefits: "Follow The Sun" is not only the motto of our two German colleagues in Melbourne, but also one of the main reasons why TNG has chosen Australia as a location. Due to the time difference, we are able to create a global knowledge workflow in order to provide software development and DevOps services to our clients around the clock. In addition, the location creates the possibility for us to expand into the ANZ market and transfer our experience and success in Germany to this market. We are excited to see what else the future holds!
