Corporate Software Organizations Need to Run at Their Best, so that …​


companies unlock efficiency, reduce waste, and transform software from a hidden cost into a competitive advantage. We believe the digital world we all depend on becomes stronger, safer, and more sustainable. Teams build faster, smarter, and with greater pride. ​ ​

For this to happen, top leadership needs visibility and influence over the software organizations powering their business. That’s why we created the Seerene Software Development Management Platform —to turn complex software delivery into a source of measurable, strategic advantage. The future belongs to those who master their software — and we commit to make that future possible.​

Our Story: From Software Complexity to Executive Clarity

Seerene was born from over 15 years of groundbreaking research at the Hasso Plattner Institute, where our founders tackled one of the biggest obstacles in modern enterprise leadership: how to gain meaningful, actionable transparency into the vast, complex, and invisible world of software development. Led by Dr. Johannes Bohnet, our team pioneered “software cartography” — a revolutionary way to map, measure, and manage software organizations at scale. This research evolved into Seerene’s enterprise platform, delivering a level of visibility and control once thought impossible. ​ ​

With Seerene, top leadership from various industries gains strategic transparency into their software organizations — reinforcing efficiency, accountability, and alignment, without demanding additional time or operational involvement from the CIO, CEO, or board. Leaders stay focused on outcomes while the organization sharpens its performance around clear, data-driven priorities. Recognized by Gartner as a Cool Vendor, by McKinsey and Google as B2B Scale-Up of the Year, and selected by Microsoft for its ScaleUp program, Seerene turns software into a source of strategic advantage for large corporations — finally placing it within reach of the executive agenda.​
