We are OpenValue
OpenValue is a premium software engineering consultancy with over 200 senior engineers in the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. We help organizations deliver better software, faster - by combining deep technical expertise with AI-accelerated development.
Our DNA? Learn, share, and lead the way. What started as a community of passionate software engineers has grown into an organization shaping the future of software development.
OpenValue was founded in 2017 with a simple idea: build a company that puts people first. A place where every engineer gets the space to become the best version of themselves, while working together on meaningful projects.
That idea worked. From the Netherlands, we grew to Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Our engineers became known for their depth, their architectural thinking, and their ability to deliver independently in any environment - from enterprise to scale-up.
Today, we're at the start of a new chapter. AI is fundamentally changing how software gets built. The cost of building software is approaching zero - but the value of architecture, quality, and governance is rising. These are exactly the skills OpenValue excels at. That's why we're embracing AI-accelerated development as the next step: not because we have to, but because our core values put us in the ideal position to lead this transition.
Better Software, Faster - that promise hasn't changed. How we deliver on it has.
What Sets Us Apart
Senior-First
Our engineers aren't juniors with a certificate. They're experienced architects, tech leads, and senior developers who operate independently in complex environments. Java Champions, a Google Developer Expert, Duke's Choice Award winners - and always learning.
Outcome-Driven
We're moving from hours to outcomes. Whether it's a result-based migration or a team retainer: you pay for value, not for seats. Because better software, faster - that's a result, not a timesheet.
Learning Culture
Learning is and has always been our core value. Through training, conferences, 150+ tech sessions at 40+ international conferences, our meetup communities with 2,000+ members, and our own experimentation lab (OpenValue Services) - we stay ahead by sharing what we learn.
AI-Accelerated
Every OpenValue engineer works with AI tools and agentic workflows. We orchestrate, specify, and validate - while AI accelerates delivery. The result: better software, delivered faster, without compromising quality.
Watch Us in Action
Our engineers are regular speakers at conferences worldwide. Watch their latest talks on software architecture, AI-driven development, and engineering practices.
