Cosylab was established 13 years ago by a group of regular visitors of the PCaPAC. In the meantime, it has grown to a company of 90 employees that covers the majority of accelerator control projects. In this talk, I will present the most interesting developments that we have done in the past two years on a very different range of projects and I will show how we had to get organized in order to be able to manage them all. The developments were made for labs like KIT, ITER, PSI, EBG-MedAustron, European Spallation Source, Maxlab, SLAC, ORNL, GSI/FAIR but also generally for community software like EPICS, TANGO, Control System Studio, White Rabbit, etc. And they range from electronics development to high level software: electric signal conditioning and interfacing, timing system, machine protection system, fibre-optic communication, linux driver development, core EPICS development, packaging, high performance networks, medical device integration, database development, all the way up to turnkey systems. Efficient organisation comprises a matrix structure of teams and groups versus projects and accounts, supported by rigorous reporting, measurements and drill-down analyses.
