OpenSource Connections Information

OpenSource Connections, LLC is a search/discovery/analytics firm focusing on software development and technology consulting, CAGE code 36BB2. Representations and certifications are filed in ORCA. We believe that when search & discovery is core to your value, you should own it. We've helped dozens of organizations grow from beginners to pioneers in the search space. Seeing how valuable this transformation is to our clients is why we've made it our mission to empower great search teams. We don't patronize you with vague marketing buzzwords like 'cognitive search' or 'insight engines'. We teach you real solutions to search and relevance. We want to teach you to fish. You shouldn't need to chain yourself to us or any other vendor. Let us coach you into becoming a more capable team! We specialise in open source engines such as Apache Solr and Elasticsearch and we created and support open source projects such as Quepid, the search relevancy toolbox, and the Elasticsearch Learning to Rank plugin. We offer training (Think Like a Relevancy Engineer, Hello Learning to Rank and Natural Language Processing for Search) and run the Haystack search relevance conference. We wrote the book Relevant Search. Government clients of OpenSource Connections include the General Services Administration, USPTO, MITRE, U.S. Office of the Special Counsel, University of Virginia, NHS Wales and the Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport Authority.
