From the digital to the self-driving company
We think digitalisation from the end state. Our vision of the self-driving company is scientifically grounded, published with Springer and described in six books – from the company through the state to the resilient organisation.
From digital transformation to the self-driving company
ReqPOOL stands for the vision of the self-driving company – an organization in which highly digitalised sub-functions interact in real time, routine tasks are handled by intelligent algorithms, and people focus on strategy, creativity and culture.
Digital – build the data foundation
Turning scattered information into machine-readable, structured data that can be processed and reused organisation-wide, creating the basis for systematic analysis and automation.
Automated – let processes run themselves
Programs handle core business problems autonomously; up to 80% of standard processes run automatically while people focus only on special cases, achieving significantly higher speed and efficiency.
Self-driving – intelligent decisions
Intelligent algorithms make predictive decisions based on historical data and real-time information, continuously improving through ongoing learning and freeing people for creative and strategic tasks.
Six books, one vision
Three titles in German and English editions lead from the digital to the self-driving organisation – and show how companies and states master crises resiliently.

Digital Twin of Legislation – research at JKU Linz
How does legislation become machine-readable so that administrative decisions stay automated, explainable and within the rule of law? Florian Schnitzhofer researches Digital Twins of Legislation at Johannes Kepler University Linz – the scientific foundation of the self-driving state.
Research questions:
- Translation: Turning normative text into machine-readable digital twins
- Explainability: Making automated administrative decisions traceable
- Rule of law: Anchoring automation within the constitutional state
- Practice: Case studies in tax and administrative law

Der agentische Software Development Lifecycle
Zehn Entscheidungen, mit denen große Unternehmen den Übergang von der manuellen Softwareentwicklung zur agentischen Delivery gestalten: fundiert, reguliert und messbar.
Agentic AI does not change individual development steps but the operating model of software development itself: coordinated agents carry out the executing work across all phases while humans own intent, quality and approvals. The whitepaper sets out ten decisions on three levels – foundation, operating model, scaling – from “Own the Spec, not the Code” and the organisation's knowledge graph to verification, governance and evidence-based steering. A maturity model from L0 to L5 makes the path measurable; the tipping point lies between L3 and L4, where licences and training are no longer enough and organisation, quality assurance and governance have to carry the change. Four phases – diagnosis, target picture, piloting, scaling – form an 18-to-36-month programme in large organisations, with the first robust efficiency evidence emerging after 90 days of pilot operation.

The SAP landscape, fully understood
How the Sysparency Legacy Code Intelligence Platform (SLIP) turns decades of custom code across many SAP systems into living documentation, and consolidates it in one central knowledge graph, ready for people and for agentic AI.
Every large SAP landscape is two systems: the documented SAP standard and the custom code built on top of it over twenty or thirty years, which carries the differentiation but whose documentation is outdated or lives in the heads of retiring experts. The Sysparency Legacy Code Intelligence Platform (SLIP) lets the corporation itself document every SAP system in three stages – patented symbolic codeMINING establishes the facts, agentic AI explains every artifact in business and technical language, and the results are consolidated in one central, source-cited knowledge graph – repeatable on demand at fleet scale. Teams browse and query the entire landscape through the Custom Code Intelligence Platform and the Sysparency Assistant, while the same graph, connected via MCP, grounds agentic AI systems in verified facts about the systems. As-is analyses are compressed from months to days, transformations such as S/4HANA scoping are planned on evidence instead of estimates, and management attention returns to the core value chain.

REAM – ReqPOOL Enterprise Architecture Management
Agentische Beratungsplattform: von der IST-Erhebung bis zur Transformations-Roadmap
The infographic shows on a single page how REAM, ReqPOOL's agentic EAM consulting platform, digitally supports the entire consulting process: discovery of business and IT, agentic AI analysis of existing documents, an EAM decision board with substantiated recommendations, a target landscape per year and a transformation roadmap with project proposals. AI agents take over the analysis work while ReqPOOL consultants and the client take the decisions – every recommendation can be traced down to the raw data. The client benefits: minutes instead of weeks for document analysis, complete and consistent data, decision-ready results instead of slide decks and no licence costs for the AI tools used; hosting and AI processing stay entirely within the EU. The infographic is available in a German (download) and an English version.
