About Us

We build platforms that last

Since 2012. From Stuttgart. With a team that collaborates from Germany to Sardinia. And with the conviction that great technology is built on trust, clarity, and integrity.

Team

A small team with a wide reach

arocom is deliberately small. 8–10 team members, internationally staffed, working in German and English. We work remotely — from Stuttgart across Germany to Sardinia. No open-plan office, but distributed focus with clear structures.

Once a year we pack up our laptops and work together for a week from a pop-up office in Italy — Verona, Sardinia, wherever there is a table and good Wi-Fi. In between: weekly team meetings, coworking days in Stuttgart, and team days with workshops and barbecue.

Axel founded arocom in 2012 — with the conviction that Drupal projects turn out better when architecture and consulting come from a single source.

He is a Drupal architect, actively involved in the international Drupal community, and the first point of contact for every inquiry. When you write to arocom, our team responds — personally, within 4 hours on business days.

He has guided over 160 Drupal projects: from an NGO with 11,000 employees to an international architecture firm. His principle: diagnosis before therapy. No proposal without a conversation, no solution without a understood problem.

Alongside the agency work, Axel writes and advises on the agentic era at arocon.eu — personal strategy advisory for decision-makers on AI and agent questions in the Mittelstand.

Values

Five convictions that shape our work

Values that hang on posters are worthless. These five convictions show in every decision, every project, every conversation — not because we write them down, but because we live them.

Humanity & Diversity

Our team is international, works from our office in Stuttgart and Sardinia, and brings together perspectives that homogeneous teams simply lack. We hire people, not resumes.

Partnership over Delivery

We are not a vendor that processes tickets. We think along, challenge requirements, and speak up when something does not make sense. Your goals are our goals — not your task list.

AI with Responsibility

We use AI where it adds value — not where it impresses. Generated content is clearly labeled as such. People decide, not algorithms. AI is a tool, not a replacement.

Open Source as a Mindset

We do not just use open source — we give back. Our own Drupal modules, community contributions, event sponsoring in Stuttgart. Since 2012. Because open source only works when everyone contributes.

Diagnosis before Therapy

We do not sell a solution before we understand the problem. That is why every collaboration starts with an analysis, not with a proposal. Even if it means we sometimes say: "You do not need us."

Community

More than an agency — part of the Drupal community

arocom is part of the Drupal community — not as a sponsor on a banner, but as an active contributor. Because open source only works when everyone contributes. And because the best ideas emerge where people come together.

Drupal Events & Community

arocom has been involved in the international Drupal community since its founding. Regular meetups, talks, exchange — open to everyone who works with Drupal or wants to get to know it.

Contrib Modules

Our own Drupal modules that we develop for client projects and give back to the community. Code that does not disappear into a drawer, but helps everyone.

Splash Award 2022

Nomination for the Splash Awards 2022 in the Enterprise category with the HENN project. The Splash Awards recognize the best Drupal projects in the German-speaking region.

Coworking Days

arocom hosts Drupal Coworking Days — working together on open-source projects, contrib modules, and community topics. Sharing knowledge instead of hoarding it.

Group

Part of the Schöne Töchter Gruppe

arocom is part of the Schöne Töchter Gruppe — a network of specialized digital agencies from Stuttgart. Together with 21TORR (creative agency), Logic Joe (data & analytics), and hauser lacour (brand & design), we cover the full spectrum of digital projects.

The CJD project shows how this agency collaboration works: 21TORR is responsible for creative direction and brand management, arocom for technical architecture and Drupal development. Not a subcontractor relationship, but a co-pitch on equal footing.
