I’m thrilled to share that last week, ALM Toolbox was named the only-one 2026 “Selected Integrator” (service provider) for GitLab by the local research firm STKI.
This recognition came as a pleasant surprise! We understand it’s based on discussions conducted by STKI analysts with clients and users, along with their research into the local IT and software development market, which assessed the quality of service our expert team delivers.
I’ve attached a screenshot from STKI’s research presentation:
You can also find the full presentation on the STKI website (or feel free to reach out to us ,
and we’ll be happy to send it your way).
What does this mean for our valued customers and partners?
We’re more committed than ever to assisting GitLab users worldwide.
If you need help or are looking for an integrator and service provider with in-depth knowledge of the GitLab platform, software development processes, DevOps/DevSecOps/CI/CD pipelines, AI-based development, AI Ops or complementary products for all GitLab editions (and Git in general),
we’re here for you.
We’re also happy to offer additional insights or a second opinion before you purchase support or licensing.
Having this official endorsement from an independent research body should also help streamline your internal approval processes.
