Origins
In March 2000, the dotcom bubble burst. For Jef Vertongen (administration), Bonnie Pachel (administration), Christophe Vienne (Java software engineer) and Xavier Denayer (Java software engineer), the time was right to set up ithomi.

Vincent Amadou (Java software engineer) reinforced ithomi's ranks in 2001. Dries Verachtert (Java software engineer & Linux administrator) joined the ithomi team in 2004.

Services
ithomi started out supplying and implementing general Internet development applications (HTML, ASP, JSP, Java, etc.), and went on to specialise in Java development, with an emphasis on the integration of front-end and back-end applications (JSP, Struts, Java, EJB). The focus on the service-provision side is primarily on consultancy. ithomi also has the resources to develop projects inhouse.

Methodology
ithomi initially used RUP (Rational Unified Process), a de facto method for carrying out object-oriented, object-based or component-based projects. It has since started working with the eXtreme Programming methodology.

Distinguishing characteristics
Quality is top of the agenda for ithomi. Every team member is thoroughly familiar with the technologies used, either through training or through self-study. As such, we provide both technology and knowledge of how to apply that technology successfully. Often it is not technology that is the complicating factor in a project, but the means of effectively using it to succeed.

The ithomi team also stands out for its commitment, thanks in part to a flexible approach attuned to the customer's needs and wishes. Quality solutions are consistently delivered, on time and within budget.

The basis for all this is a stable, balanced team. Every team member has been personally recruited by us. As a result, ithomi can offer you unrivalled quality.
Which is as it should be.
