Services

Build with the engineers who build openDAQ

From a free first call to a finished module, the people who wrote the openDAQ SDK work alongside your team. You get working code, clear answers and a price agreed before any work starts.

What we do for you

Six ways to move faster with openDAQ

Start here

Technical discovery call

Find out in one call whether openDAQ fits

A working conversation about your device, application or system with the engineers who maintain openDAQ.

Free

No obligation and no sales script

  • We look at what you have and say whether openDAQ fits it
  • You leave with a first bounded step or with a clear reason not to proceed
  • No obligation, no membership requirement and no sales script
Most common first step

Guided proof of concept

See your own product speak openDAQ within days

A bounded prototype against your real product with enough device structure to establish discovery and basic streaming.

Fixed price

Scoped and quoted before work starts

  • Typically a few days and scoped in advance against a fixed offer
  • You get working code, a written estimate for the full implementation and the risks we found
  • The fee can be credited toward a later engagement where the offer states this
We build it for you

Custom module development

We build the module and hand you the source

Our engineers write the device module, protocol integration or function block for your product and hand it over.

Fixed price

Quoted per module or integration

  • A basic device module covers discovery and streaming of your declared signals
  • Full capability adds the property model, configuration and time synchronisation
  • Protocol integrations and reusable function blocks are scoped separately

Implementation guidance

Expert eyes on your code while your team builds

Ongoing help while your own team builds. It covers architecture review, code review and unblocking.

From €100

per hour for Premium members

  • Sold in blocks of days and drawn down as needed
  • Your team writes the code and we make sure it is the right code
  • Often the core of a bundle that runs across a product's development

Training and workshops

Get your engineers productive in a single day

Hands-on sessions for the engineers who will do the work. They are built around your architecture rather than a generic curriculum.

From €500

per day for Premium members

  • Online, with on-site training available upon request
  • One day for up to three persons. Larger groups are scoped separately
  • Typical topics are the device and signal model, writing a device module, the client API and function blocks

Certification

Prove your product works across the ecosystem

Testing of your product in the openDAQ compliance lab against the checks for its track.

Included

in Advanced, Premium and Diamond membership

  • Included in Advanced (one product), Premium (up to 10 products) and Diamond (unlimited) membership
  • Additional testing at €1,000 per product for Advanced and €800 for Premium members
  • See the certification page for what is tested

How an engagement works

How does an engagement with openDAQ run?

Free discovery call

You describe the device, application or system. We state whether openDAQ fits and what the smallest useful first step is.

Written offer

A fixed scope, a fixed price and a statement of what you will hold at the end. No engagement starts without one.

Delivery alongside your team

We work with your engineers rather than around them so that the capability stays in your organisation when we leave.

Where we stop. openDAQ is not a turnkey integration house. We build the modules, tooling and expertise that make your team faster. We do not take over ownership of your product.

Service bundles

Several services can be combined into one offer

When one piece of work leads to the next we can combine several services into one bundle with one scope and one price. A bundle is put together for your case and quoted as a single offer. It is a purchase and not a membership.

How are services priced?
Software support and training are charged at the rates of your membership level, which are listed on the membership page. Larger pieces of work such as a proof of concept or a custom module are scoped against your product and quoted in a written offer before work starts. The discovery call is free.
How long does a first implementation take?
That is what the proof of concept is for. A basic prototype with enough device structure for discovery and streaming can usually be built in a few days and it is what makes a real estimate of the full implementation possible.
Will you build the whole thing for us?
We will build a module for you and hand over source you own with tests and documentation. What we will not do is become the long-term owner of your product's compatibility layer without an agreement that says so. That is what a service bundle is for.
Who owns what you write for us?
You do. Custom module development is delivered as source you own outright. Contributions we make back to the openDAQ SDK itself are Apache 2.0 like the rest of it and we agree in advance what falls into which category.
What is a service bundle?
Several services scoped and quoted as one offer. It ends when the work is delivered.
Do you work on site?
Training and workshops are offered on site and online. Both are available by individual agreement.

Free and genuinely free

Start with the discovery call

Bring the device, the application or the system. We will tell you what it would take and what it would cost before any of it is billable.
