The Common Thread for Organizations

Modell Aachen and orgavision are becoming Ariadne – helping knowledge grow, processes work, and people collaborate better.

Our Mission

In today's complex world, clarity is a superpower

01

Every organization is a labyrinth of its own. Employees lose, on average, a quarter of their working time because it’s unclear how things work. Who’s responsible? Which process applies? Where can I find the knowledge I need right now?

02

For years, Modell Aachen and orgavision have been dedicated to solving this problem. Now we are bringing our strengths together to build the application of the future.

Its name is Ariadne.

03

As the operating system for modern organizations, Ariadne connects knowledge, processes, and people into one living system. Visible. Navigable. Actionable. Follow the common thread and doing the right thing becomes second nature.

04

The result: an organization where everyone knows what to do. Where being audit ready isn’t a project. It’s business as usual.

About the Product

You're in control

Q.wiki by Ariadne connects knowledge, processes, and people into a living system.

Knowledge

Every organization holds an enormous amount of knowledge. It lives in people’s minds, in documents, and in established structures. Q.wiki by Ariadne brings it to the surface and brings it together in one place. Always up to date and accessible to everyone who needs it.

Processes

With Q.wiki by Ariadne, processes live where work actually happens. With the people who carry them out every day. Standards, requirements, and agreements become part of the process itself. Follow the common thread and you stay on the right path.

People

People bring organizations to life. Ariadne is built for them. A trusted guide through everyday work that creates clarity and direction. When someone sees a better way or wants to make a change, they simply redraw the common thread. That’s how knowledge moves from people’s minds into the system and becomes accessible to everyone.

Our Answers to Key Questions

Find answers to the most important questions about the merger.

Why are Modell Aachen and orgavision joining forces?

Modell Aachen is one of the leading providers of interactive management systems in the DACH region. orgavision has pursued the same path: making knowledge visible and enabling collaboration. For years, we have shared the same conviction: management systems are only effective if they are actively used. This shared conviction was the reason for our merger.

Both companies have proven this with over 2,000 organizations. Now we are joining forces – to develop faster, provide broader consulting, and jointly set the standard for knowledge and process management systems.

What is the new company called and what's the story behind it?

Modell Aachen and orgavision are uniting as Ariadne. The name Ariadne was chosen for the new company because it represents something that has been universally understood for millennia: guidance through complexity. Like the figure from mythology, Ariadne provides the common thread that connects knowledge, processes, and people, making companies navigable. We believe this is precisely what a good management system should achieve.
