Axon Active and Axon Ivy have maintained a strategic partnership since 2011, jointly driving BPM software development. Combining Swiss product governance with high-capacity engineering in Vietnam, the collaboration delivers reliable low-code solutions. A dedicated development team supports digital process automation (DPA) and enterprise workflow optimization through an embedded collaboration model.
Axon Ivy is a prominent Swiss software vendor specializing in digital process automation (DPA) and business process management (BPM). Founded in 1994 as a university spin-off in Zug, the company develops a powerful low-code BPM platform that enables enterprises to orchestrate complex workflows and supports enterprise BPM software development. Since 2022, the organization has operated as an independent subsidiary of the global technology company Ricoh Group.
A dedicated development team follows the Scrum framework with 3-week sprints to align with Axon Ivy’s internal delivery rhythm. A regular time zone overlap supports synchronous ceremonies such as daily standups, sprint planning, and reviews.
The partnership combines Swiss software development expertise with engineering delivery from Vietnam, while asynchronous collaboration tools maintain momentum during off-hours.
Our software developers drive BPM software development across the full lifecycle of the Axon Ivy Portal, from requirements analysis to the delivery of workflow automation software. The portal provides a single interface for launching cases, tracking tasks, and monitoring real-time workflow performance through a unified entry point.
Key features maintained by the team include intelligent task routing and a customization engine that enables users to personalize their workspace without developer assistance.
Full-stack engineering is fully collaborative, with frontend and backend developers working closely to ensure high-fidelity implementation. The team uses the Axon Ivy API for backend development and JSF with PrimeFaces for the user interface. Working across both layers helps them deliver improvements faster and resolve issues more efficiently.
Quality is maintained throughout each 3-week sprint with automated testing, code reviews, and continuous integration checks. New code is merged only after meeting quality standards. Regular stakeholder reviews include live demos, ensuring progress is visible and aligned with product goals.
The team introduced AI-assisted development tools through a structured onboarding process and defined safety guidelines. GitHub Copilot supports repetitive tasks such as boilerplate generation and test scaffolding under human review. This enables engineers to focus on complex architectural challenges and low-code platform development. Learn more about how we build with AI and govern its use in software delivery.

“The Axon Ivy Portal is a game-changer for businesses looking to streamline operations. It offers intuitive task management, real-time insights, and highly customizable dashboards, enabling teams to work more efficiently.”
Axon Active supports portal platform development through a dedicated engineering team embedded within the client’s organization. The team contributes across the full product lifecycle from requirements analysis and design to implementation and testing. This integrated model enables the scaling of development capacity while maintaining consistency across releases.
The portal serves as the central user interface for managing workflows and business processes. It provides a unified entry point where users can launch cases, track tasks, and monitor activities in real-time. By consolidating these capabilities, the portal improves usability and operational efficiency for complex environments.
Quality is built into every stage of development through automated testing and code reviews. All changes must pass continuous integration checks before release. Regular sprint reviews with stakeholders help ensure transparency and quick feedback.
The engagement utilizes a stable, long-term team model where engineers work continuously on the product. This approach allows domain knowledge to accumulate over time and reduces the need for repeated onboarding. Engineers develop a deeper understanding of both technical architecture and business context for faster iteration.
Collaboration is structured around a daily timezone overlap used for stand-ups, planning sessions, and review meetings. Outside of this window, the team relies on structured asynchronous practices such as documented updates and shared backlog tools. Clear communication routines ensure that work progresses smoothly without delays across different regions.
