\nqbilon was foun\u00added in 2019 by four former PhD students of the Univer\u00adsity of Augs\u00adburg. During their work with large enter\u00adpri\u00adses, they found that compa\u00adnies struggle with buil\u00adding a meaningful data\u00adbase for criti\u00adcal IT decis\u00adi\u00adons. Based on their rese\u00adarch findings, they deve\u00adlo\u00adped an inno\u00adva\u00adtive approach to meet this chall\u00adenge. qbilon\u2019s soft\u00adware solu\u00adtion finally brings light to orga\u00adni\u00adcally grown, hybrid IT land\u00adscapes. The auto\u00adma\u00adtic coll\u00adec\u00adtion and linking of exis\u00adting data enables IT decis\u00adion-makers to stream\u00adline and opti\u00admize their IT land\u00adscape to end up with IT that perfectly fits their needs. In times when digi\u00adtal trans\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtion and expo\u00adnen\u00adtial IT growth are key issues in large compa\u00adnies, qbilon wants to do its part to keep IT effi\u00adci\u00adent and mana\u00adgeable. Since IT staff are often over\u00adworked, our soft\u00adware effec\u00adtively reli\u00ade\u00adves IT staff of tedious manual docu\u00admen\u00adta\u00adtion work \u2014 paving the way to an IT land\u00adscape that is always up-to-date and consistent.
