About us

Our story

Open Architects was founded by former school district and public sector practitioners with the mission of creating best-in-class data tools for education, public sector, and non-profit organizations.

Why choose us

At our core, we're data nerds with a passion for public service. Because we’ve been there, we understand the data challenges you face each day and we approach every engagement as a partnership in solving those problems.

Our vision

We build the tools we wish we had when we were in public service roles. We get into the trenches with our organization partners to design practical data tools that address your day-to-day challenges, so you can focus your efforts where they matter most.

What we do

We all know that actionable data leads to better decisions, but busy leaders don’t have the bandwidth to effectively compile and analyze data across multiple systems. To put it simply, we try to take as much work off your plate as possible, while putting actionable insights at your fingertips.

No-effort implementation

We do all the heavy lifting to collect, clean, and organize your data , so there is virtually no set up work on your end (and no major favors from your IT department). Instead, you get to focus on the fun part - providing feedback and working with us to refine your dashboard designs.

Quick turnaround time

When we begin a new partnership, you should expect to begin receiving dashboards in as little as two weeks. Implementation of a full dashboard suite is typically completed within 2-3 months.

Custom-built tools

Choose from our menu of best-in-class dashboards or request a fully custom project. Either way, your dashboards and other data tools are tailored to your unique data, and your district and school configurations. We iterate with you along the way, so the final product works for you.
