Decision snapshot

VerdictChoose Wavect if your brief calls for a senior core accountable for an agreed project phase. Start by agreeing the first deliverable, responsible people and acceptance checks with us.

Wavect is best when

  • We take on a senior core accountable for an agreed project phase, with scope and responsibilities agreed upfront. Wavect’s offer
  • Our development offer connects scope decisions, reviewable increments and handover.
  • Start by agreeing the first deliverable, responsible people and acceptance checks with us.

The alternative is best when

  • Your procurement requires ISO certifications and framework agreements. Cloudflight’s certifications page describes ISO 27001 and also shows ISO 9001 and ISO 13485.3
  • Your work spans multiple countries, business units, or parallel delivery teams. Their company page states 15 locations in four European countries.1
  • You need industrial or embedded software capacity next to cloud and data work. Both are listed on their services overview.2

Questions to ask before you choose

  1. For a senior core accountable for an agreed project phase, what must the first phase cover?
  2. Ask us the same question, and ask both sides in writing what happens to that answer if the timeline slips a quarter.
  3. Ask which legal entity would sign your contract. Their imprint lists a group entity in Munich and separate country entities, including an Austrian one in Linz.5
  4. Is the buying constraint procurement acceptance, or the product outcome?

Commercial risk to watch

  • Large-vendor fit can be exactly right for an enterprise and expensive friction for a smaller team.
  • Partners Group announced in November 2022 that it had agreed to acquire a controlling equity stake in Cloudflight from Deutsche Beteiligungs AG, which published that it would retain a minority position.67 We report that because it is public and checkable, not as an allegation: institutional ownership is ordinary in this market and says nothing about the quality of anyone’s engineering.

Evidence notes

  • Every statement about Cloudflight on this page is footnoted below with the page we read it on and the date we opened it.
  • This comparison does not rank capability; it separates enterprise-program fit from small senior-team fit.

Project fit: not limited to small builds

Project size and provider headcount are separate decisions. Wavect’s delivery unit is a named senior core, but that does not limit the work to MVPs or short startup projects. Larger projects are split into phases with separate budgets and acceptance criteria. We also build internal systems and process automations inside a client’s existing repositories, tooling and workflows. A vetted bench supports continuity and scope-specific capacity. A larger provider may still be the better choice when the main requirement is several parallel teams, an incumbent framework agreement or certifications Wavect does not currently hold.

Wavect’s offer Start by agreeing the first deliverable, responsible people and acceptance checks with us.
No. Their company page states 800 professionals at 15 locations in four European countries, and their certifications page describes ISO 27001.13 We are a small senior team selling senior judgement plus execution, with founders accountable for the result. The two are bought by different people for different reasons.
Partners Group announced in November 2022 that it had agreed to acquire a controlling equity stake in Cloudflight from Deutsche Beteiligungs AG, and the seller published that it would retain a minority position.67 We report that because it is public, not as a criticism, and institutional ownership tells you nothing about the quality of anyone’s engineering. What is worth asking any vendor, us included, is which legal entity signs your contract and who stays accountable if the plan changes; their imprint lists a group entity in Munich and separate country entities.5
Yes, on enterprise pilots and focused builds. We joined an in-flight city-wide LoRaWAN build for Innsbruck and ran QA across a seven-microservice enterprise platform for eighteen months. What we do not do is staff programs of dozens of people.
When the constraint is organisational: certifications, multi-country staffing, formal governance, procurement. Their certifications page describes ISO 27001 and their company page states 15 locations in four European countries.31 If your project dies without those, hire them and do not look back.
