Our Journey: From Vision to Scalable Innovation
In 1997, five visionary individuals came together with one mission: to harness open source software and data-driven solutions to strengthen the social development sector. This collaboration led to the creation of Child Info 1.0, which later evolved into the globally adopted DevInfo platform in 2004—a key milestone in building digital public goods for international development.
As DevInfo scaled to version 7.0, our work expanded globally—powering management information systems, supporting results-based monitoring, and building custom digital platforms for development agencies, NGOs, and UN organizations. With every release, we deepened our commitment to technology for development and expanded our reach through a distributed development team across continents.
Today, as the technical partner of Community Systems Foundation, a UN ECOSOC-accredited nonprofit, we design and implement digital governance systems, data collection tools, and analytics dashboards that help partners deliver measurable results on the ground. Our software development expertise, combined with sector knowledge, ensures we co-create sustainable solutions aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Our Mission
To advance human well-being by creating inclusive technology solutions that improve lives, promote equity, and ensure no one is left behind.

Our Vision
To build a world where data and technology drive equity, transparency, and opportunity for those most in need—one community, one platform, one solution at a time.
Our Story
From our early days, we have believed in building digital systems that matter. What started with a small team and a big idea has evolved into a global force for technology for good. We’ve worked shoulder-to-shoulder with line ministries, UN agencies, and international NGOs to deliver custom-built MIS platforms, mobile applications, and data visualization tools tailored to the needs of real-world users.
Our journey continues—fueled by a passion for innovation, a respect for local context, and a belief in the power of collaboration. Through our in-house suite of digital tools and bespoke software solutions, we support organizations in making informed decisions, scaling impact, and building resilient digital infrastructure for the future.
