The PikeTec founders Dr. Eckard Bringmann, Andreas Krämer und Dr. Jens Lüdemann share a ten year working experience at DaimlerChrysler. Their research focussed on software technology and tool development for the software development of technical systems.

With their work they supported the development group at DaimlerChrysler AG especially with software development by defining and designing development processes. This support included also the technical and scientific steering of development projects in the automotive divisions passenger compartment, driving dynamics, telematics and powertrain.

The won experiences led them to the analysis of deficits and development of improvements. This finally resulted — in co-operation with development groups — in new concepts and prototypes for software tools which optimise the efficiency and quality the software development of technical control systems.
