Founded in Australia in 2001, we have been developing solutions based on the world’s leading Open Source data portal platform; CKAN since 2012. Now with presence in five cities around the globe, we have implemented scores of open data solutions for governments, and commercial and non-profit clients, around the world.
We focus on making data easily discoverable and searchable – facilitating users’ presentation and interpretation of data for the basis of making sound decisions and solving real-world problems.
Exploiting our unique mix of creativity, strategic advice and technical expertise, our services focus on the end-to-end application development and support of all kinds of data portal based solutions.
Our expertise lie in all elements of open data management:
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.
We are a global open information technology company focused on helping our clients make meaningful change with open data.
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 an open information technology 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.
We are highly engaged as a co-steward of the CKAN open source project, with several 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 road map, update releases and sustainability initiatives.
As an agile team, we employ Scrum methodology work managed via one-week sprints. Jira provides our clients with direct and immediate transparency over work in progress and provides the opportunity for further collaboration.
With staff located in a variety of time zones we run international 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 Zoom.us video conferencing for meetings such as client briefings, business analysis, consulting, training and feature/story elaboration. We also run our internal meeting processes via zoom.us for internal scrum stand-ups, backlog elaboration and retrospectives.
