Company
The technology has changed. The task never has.
aiio GmbH, Magdeburg — grown out of a technology holding that has existed since 2002. SharePoint documentation, cloud, AI agents: the means have changed completely several times over that period, the question behind them not once.
What has changed — and what has not.
It began with process documentation on SharePoint, for industry and the public sector. Both have stayed: the sectors, and the question of how an organization gets at its own knowledge. What changed is what you answer it with.
- 2002The root
Lintra GmbH is founded in Magdeburg as a technology holding. Several companies come out of it — one of them later becomes aiio. The subject is the same from the start: helping organizations know their own workflows.
- 2007Quam
A company of its own, entered at the Amtsgericht Stendal under HRB 6552. With Quam, a management system on a SharePoint basis comes into being: processes are documented and become auditable. The first customers are industry and the public sector — the same organizations that today face transformation undertakings.
- 2014Best in Cloud
The sister company LINTRA Solutions GmbH wins the Computerwoche Best in Cloud award in the SaaS category — with an Office 365 platform for the Malteser Hilfsdienst. At that point the holding is a Microsoft Gold competence partner. The move into the cloud happens in-house, not as a latecomer.
- 2020The rebuild
Development of a cloud-native, AI-supported platform begins. Not as an extension of Quam, but alongside it: what is meant to be readable by systems cannot be retrofitted into a tool built for human readers.
- 2022aiio
In March 2022, LINTRA plus GmbH becomes aiio GmbH. Register entry, location and team stay. The name stands for the direction: documentation for people becomes an organization that systems can read too.
- 2024Series A
Institutional funding round, eight-figure valuation. Relevant to anyone whose undertaking runs over several years: the company does not hang on the next order, and the tools do not have to pay off in the short term.
- TodayReady for AI
AI agents put the same question as SharePoint did in 2007 and the cloud in 2014: what is this organization actually working on? Except that this time the answer has to be machine-readable.
What two decades have taught.
What we learned in that time sits in the tools today — and explains why some things deliberately do not belong in them. Every one of these lessons cost us projects first.
Who runs the company.
Four managing directors, all four operational, all four a long time in this market. They have seen the problems at issue here from close up — at large corporations, in mid-sized companies and in the public sector — and have spent recent years building a tool against them.
Decides what gets built and in what order — and what does not. Was accountable for the substance of the move from Quam to aiio. Anyone wanting to know why the tool deliberately does not do certain things gets the reasoning from him; the long version sits under Vision.
Accountable for rollout and operation: that a project runs in weeks rather than quarters, and that afterwards someone is reachable who knows the installation. When delivery goes wrong, he is the escalation level — not a ticket system.
Accountable for how aiio is explained to the outside — and for that explanation holding up against what the tool actually does. Point of contact for press, analysts and associations.
Builds the network of consultancies and integrators. For an undertaking that means: whoever accompanies the transformation does not have to be aiio — but they know the tool and do not have to start from scratch.
Who advises the company.
For the questions where software fails in audited environments, people sit at the table who are better at it than we are — from research, from enterprise sales, from the capital markets and from leadership work. They advise on the decisions touching their field before those decisions are taken.
Examines the technical foundations: security architecture, embedded systems and the requirements that regulated environments place on software before it may be operated there. Previously at Zalando and Deutsche Bank.
Brings go-to-market experience from enterprise software and B2B SaaS — what large corporations actually examine when buying software, and where new categories in this market regularly fail. Previously at Adobe, SAP and Spryker.
Sees the company from the investor and M&A perspective: what an organization is worth over the long term, which capabilities carry that value — and which only look as though they do. Previously at GETEC, MVV Energie and Rothschild.
Works on the question of how organizations stay able to act under permanent change, uncertainty and growing complexity — and what leadership has to deliver for that.

Let us talk.
A conversation, not a pitch: twenty minutes of listening to what is coming up — and then saying whether one of the tools helps with it or not. That too is a lesson from two decades.
