Kenotom: engineering from Europe, with closeness and precision.
As part of our partner network CT Network, an ongoing collaboration connects us with Kenotom, an engineering partner from Greece. Kenotom stands for quality-driven software development and test services in the EU nearshore model: within the European legal and data-protection space, in the same time zone and with cultural proximity to the DACH market.
When offshore is too far and onsite is too expensive.
Offshore models bring cost benefits but also data-protection topics, time-zone shifts and cultural distance. Pure onsite quickly blows the budget for larger teams. EU nearshore is the middle path: economically attractive, regulatory-uncomplicated and organisationally able to coordinate.
With Kenotom we rely on a partner that operates in the EU, works in English and increasingly also in German, and does not slow down DACH project participants by constant time-zone or cultural breaks. For compliance-heavy projects and initiatives with tight coordination cadence, this is the more robust choice.
Where we draw on Kenotom.
Certified to (automotive) standards.
Kenotom works to the standards relevant for our clients, documented and externally audited.

EU legal space with the same time zone.
Kenotom's base in Greece sits within the European Union. What that means in regulatory terms: GDPR compliance at eye level, no Standard Contractual Clauses for third-country transfers, no open questions about employment status.
The time zone is identical to CET/CEST or one hour off. Dailies, reviews and ad-hoc questions work without rhythm breaks.
Benefits of EU nearshore cooperation.
GDPR compliance built in
Data processing within the EU. No third-country transfers, no Standard Contractual Clauses, no extra safeguards. The legal framework applies directly.
No time-zone drag
CET compatibility allows synchronous work without artificial windows. Code reviews, refinements and coordination follow the normal working day.
Cultural proximity
European working culture, direct communication, a shared understanding of quality. Routines that fit agile teams without intercultural translation.
Scalable role staffing
From a single profile to a delivery team. Roles and skill levels are assembled to project needs and adjusted as things change.
Attractive cost structure
Nearshore conditions sit clearly below DACH in-house rates without trading the cost benefit for quality or compliance risk.
Communication at eye level
English as a fluent working language, increasingly also German project support. Direct coordination without a language barrier.
Compliance-heavy projects, tight cadence, EU requirements.
We recommend Kenotom to clients whose projects must meet compliance requirements within the EU framework, for example when personal data is processed, sector requirements (BaFin, GxP, medical documentation) apply, or shared certification processes are upcoming.
For agile-paced product development with short feedback cycles, the EU nearshore model is the first choice as well: when refinements, dailies and joint decisions are to run on a daily rhythm, time zone and cultural proximity matter more than pure cost benefit.
