# Important Notice Before Applying
We are a medical device company based in Germany.
We understand ERPNext very well and are familiar with the distinction between:

Development and Hosting Environment
The final production system will be hosted either on our own server infrastructure or on a hosting environment specified by us.
For development purposes, the contractor may use:
• their own development server
• their own hosting environment
• their own cloud environment
Alternatively, development may also take place on infrastructure provided by us.
The choice of development environment is not a selection criterion.
The completed system must be transferable to the final production environment without functional limitations.
The proposal should focus on implementation quality and functionality rather than hosting assumptions.
## Deadline
