OpenFn: The Digital Alchemist

In the realm of data transformation and process automation, OpenFn stands as a beacon of innovation. This is a company that doesn't just dabble in cutting-edge technologies, it pioneers them. OpenFn is the mastermind behind a secure, stable, and scalable interoperability platform that's changing the game for lower- and middle-income country (LMIC) government and NGO customers.

Open Source Goodness

OpenFn isn't just a company, it's a digital public good (DPG). It's a free and open source platform that's empowering LMIC governments and NGOs to scale up health and humanitarian interventions. And it's not doing it with a sprinkle of magic dust, but with data integration, interoperability, and process automation. This isn't about making marginal improvements to already comfortable lives. This is about driving efficiency where it matters most.

The Tech Behind the Magic

The OpenFn/Lightning platform, a customer-facing Phoenix LiveView (Elixir/Erlang) web application, is just the tip of the iceberg. Underneath, there's an entire ecosystem of adaptors, worker servers, and a compiler/execution/runtime environment, all powered by TypeScript. With 50+ Js/Ts Language Adaptors and a developer-friendly CLI, OpenFn is working with the most commonly used and mission-critical software in the health and humanitarian sectors.

Creating a Best-in-Class Developer Experience

OpenFn is all about creating the best developer experience. The company is constantly striving to increase ease of use and offer better visibility for those developing and automating workflows with OpenFn. It's not just about building a platform, it's about creating an environment where developers can thrive.

A Company That Values Curiosity and Pragmatism

OpenFn is a company that values curiosity and pragmatism. It's all about trying new things and constantly thinking about the tradeoffs between acting early and not doing something. OpenFn is a company that treats its libraries as customers. If they can't easily debug something, then chances are an end-user developer at a ministry of health or refugee protection agency is going to experience UX pain as well.

A Champion of Open Source

OpenFn is a champion of open source. The majority of their code is publicly available under the LGPL-3.0 license and has already been adopted and adapted by some of the top international development organizations around the world. OpenFn is committed to furthering this with more and better tools that empower those working in the ICT4D sector.

A Company That Listens

OpenFn is a company that listens. It understands the difficulty of making decisions that affect future design paths and doesn't sit on mistakes. It values strong opinions, weakly held, and listens carefully when someone has ideas or prior experience that contradict their own.

The Bottom Line

In a nutshell, OpenFn is a company that's using technology to make a difference. It's a company that's not afraid to push the boundaries, to try new things, and to listen to its users. It's a company that's committed to driving efficiency and making a real impact in the health and humanitarian sectors. So, if you're looking for a company that's truly making a difference, look no further than OpenFn.
