Who we are

We are leaders

Established in 2001, Link Digital is a globally focused company helping government, NGOs, and corporate clients make meaningful change through data.

As developers, implementers, and contributors to CKAN and Open Data since 2012, we provide expert consulting, design, and build capability for data repository management. Our team of dedicated professionals focuses on making data discoverable, searchable, and easy to interpret to help our clients make sound decisions and solve real-world problems.

Through a blend of creativity, strategic advice and technical expertise, we offer comprehensive application development and support services for various data portal solutions.

We know data

Our expertise lies in all elements of data management:

  • Data architecture, including metadata, indexing, cataloguing and dataset management
  • Web and UI design and development for dynamic data manipulation and visualisation
  • Integration to a range of database and data management technologies, and data workflow development
  • Combining data management systems with content management systems
  • Cloud computing and hosted environments.

We combine this with our deep knowledge of CKAN, and our Agile methodology to deliver successful project outcomes at all levels of scale, from point solutions to cloud-based enterprise implementations.

Creativity

We find the joy of innovation in all we do. Equipped with curiosity, passion, and dedication to our mission, we strive to be creative rather than reactive to effectively solve problems and generate ideas that add unique value for our clients.

Results

Our team steps to a beat of purpose and commitment, at our heart, to deliver a results driven service for clients. Our clients trust us to provide solutions that work, and as a team, we do our best to produce high quality, agreed-upon results.

Honesty

It’s a simple truth, honest business is good business. We work collectively as professional and ethically aligned teammates who act with integrity to deliver transparency. Honesty is imperative to our success and developed relationships.

Mastery

We continue to learn, practice and teach to release our best. Where others see adversity and challenges, we see opportunities to foster growth. Our focus, consistency and persistence has propelled us to be amongst the leaders in a number of specialised digital practices.

Team

We work together with discipline and determination to make Link Digital the best it can be. Combining a diverse set of expertise, our cross-functional teams communicate and collaborate in order to achieve success and drive innovation.

Built with a mission to create meaningful change for our staff, clients and the community; our five core values are at the heart of everything we do.

Our way of working

At Link Digital, our way of working is heavily influenced by our vision: To create meaningful change and we do this by remaining true to our core values.

As a company with a largely distributed and growing team, with a similarly distributed list of clients growing around the world, our day-to-day operations are supported by tools and strong engagement with open communities.

As CKAN co-stewards

We are highly engaged as a co-steward of the CKAN open source project, with key CKAN staff directly involved in the Governance, community and technical teams. This involvement benefits our clients as we act as proxy for their interest in CKAN’s technical roadmap, update releases and sustainability initiatives.

Our Professional Services

As an agile team

We employ Scrum methodology with work managed via two-week sprints. Jira provides our clients with direct and immediate transparency over work in progress and offers the opportunity for further collaboration.

Our global team

With employees located in a variety of time zones, we run global project teams and fit some aspects of our ‘way of working’ to align with our client timezones. To communicate with empathy through non-verbal cues, we encourage the use of video conferencing for meetings, client briefings, business analysis, consulting, training and feature/story elaboration. We also run internal scrum stand-ups, backlog elaboration and retrospectives.
