Decidio

What Decidio does

Decidio is a Vienna-headquartered IT consulting and software development firm founded in 2017 by Fredrik Gustafsson and Joshua Dippenaar. The company delivers project-based development, team augmentation, full-service/managed services, and ongoing operations and maintenance across the application lifecycle, with formal expertise areas covering web development, software development, UI/UX design, continuous integration, IT infrastructure, database systems, cloud services, and artificial intelligence. Its technology stack spans Go, .NET, Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Angular, Vue.js, Node.js, Python, PHP, and Kotlin on AWS, GCP, and Azure, with Kubernetes/Docker-based containerization and Jenkins/GitLab/GitHub/Terraform for CI/CD.

Decidio serves enterprise and mid-market clients across at least eight verticals, including e-commerce (REWE Group's Riag.Digital, Smallpdf, WeAreDevelopers), financial services (Austrocard), data privacy (Truendo), energy and HVAC (Hargassner, Kraftwerk), rail logistics (ELL), HR technology (Quazr), education (Kiga-web), and gaming (Bandaloop Games). Its proprietary Co-Creation methodology and Agile sprint-based delivery provide a documented engagement framework, and the company originally built the Truendo GDPR consent management platform, which has since been spun out as TRUENDO Technologies GmbH.

The business model is professional services with quote-based pricing across four revenue streams: project-based services, team augmentation, full-service managed engagements, and operations and maintenance. The company is founder-owned, privately held, has not raised external capital, and operates a dual-location delivery model with headquarters in Vienna (Saturn Tower, 1220 Vienna and Argentinierstraße 39/3, 1040 Vienna) and a wholly-owned subsidiary, Decidio Pty Ltd, in Durban, South Africa, established in April 2022 to provide cost-arbitraged delivery for European and international clients.
