OpenTechWorks

Here is OpenTechWorks in plain terms. OTW solves major adoption challenges for Open Technology Solutions within Government and Corporate IT environments. The job it does: building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

The natural audience is companies with a specific process to automate. As a very small company team themselves (1 to 10 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

OpenTechWorks is based in La Plata, Maryland. Their site is opentechworks.org.

Our checklist for this category: portfolio relevance, who owns the code, and how they handle changes. A short pilot with your real data tells you more than any demo.

If you have worked with OpenTechWorks, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
