Two providers, one Academy

A collaboration with

embarcINNOQ

Together to share knowledge.

Since 2022, socreatory has combined the expertise of embarc GmbH and INNOQ GmbH, two of the leading training providers for software architecture in the German-speaking world. All trainers are experts who apply their knowledge daily in practice; many of them contribute to the International Software Architecture Qualification Board (iSAQB®) as curators or examiners and actively shape the curricula.

Since its founding, the training program has continuously expanded to include new topics and formats. socreatory is independently accredited by iSAQB® as a training provider and offers the CPSA-Foundation Level as well as all relevant CPSA® Advanced Modules.

"... the standards of software architecture are best learned from those who contribute to their development and definition."

A board game is best learned from people who have played it many times. The most interesting insider tips aren't found in guidebooks, but come from locals. And the standards of software architecture are ideally learned from those who co-develop and define them.
