Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
ELFO highlights
Why choose ELFO as a software partner for your company?
ELFO is a software house with over thirty years of experience, active in every sector where there is a process to digitalise. Over the years that has meant working in very different fields (from food to energy, from medical devices to eyewear), but the criterion is not the sector: it is the need to bring a business process into the digital world. Its strength is an approach where the software adapts to your processes, not the other way around, with native integration into existing systems. Working across very different domains makes ELFO’s developers, project managers and account managers able to understand your context and give well-weighed advice, not off-the-shelf answers.
What does ISO 27001 certification guarantee when choosing a software vendor?
ISO 27001 certifies that a vendor manages information security with a documented, audited and continuously improved system, with controls over access, data and processes. ELFO is part of the eCore group, which is ISO 27001 certified, increasingly a requirement when your own clients audit the software supply chain. For companies handling confidential data and product specifications, it is a concrete guarantee, not a formality.
What does being a Microsoft Solutions Partner mean for ELFO's clients?
Being a Microsoft Solutions Partner means certified expertise across the Microsoft stack: Azure, Power BI, Microsoft 365 and Dynamics. For the client, it ensures that software development and integrations plug natively into the tools already in use (Office 365, Teams, Outlook), without duplicating data or creating new silos. It is a signal of technical reliability that weighs when choosing a partner.
Does ELFO work only with large companies or also with SMEs?
Both. ELFO works with multinationals such as Kraft Heinz, Ferrero and Emerson, but also with industrial SMEs. Client size is not a constraint: projects range from a few tens of thousands up to millions of euros. What matters is the need for custom software that solves a real problem. The approach stays the same: listening to processes, agile development and a long-term partnership.
What are ELFO's core values and long-term commitments to clients?
ELFO’s four core values are innovation, excellence, customer relationships and people. Innovation brings new technologies, including artificial intelligence, into solutions that genuinely work, not showroom demos. Excellence means doing things properly and keeping our promises, with consistent quality on every release. Customer relationships means co-designing with your team and explaining every choice, never handing over a black box. People are the real value: developers and project managers who understand your business before they write a line of code. All of it within a long-term partnership, where your custom software grows alongside your company.
Does ELFO only work in Italy?
No. ELFO works with companies that want to innovate their processes, wherever they operate. Today that means clients in Switzerland and the US, plus Italian customers that are multinationals with sites abroad, from Kraft Heinz to Emerson. The method travels: Agile sprints, an MVP in 3-5 months, and code that is always yours, wherever your team sits. For companies across Europe and North America, ELFO is a natural nearshore partner: working with us takes the right project, not an Italian address.
