OpenPool is a community-driven initiative applying Inner Source principles to enterprise software engineering. We develop and evolve solutions through shared maintenance to reduce costs, improve quality, and accelerate delivery.
"Apply open-source principles within a restricted member community to build enterprise-grade solutions together."
The Inner Source ModelCompanies across industries—industrial equipment, medical devices, financial services, retail—maintain in-house software development capabilities through extensive tool collections that support their development teams. These include version control systems, collaboration platforms, and build systems that require continuous modernization.
We apply open-source development principles within a restricted member community, enabling organizations to collaborate on shared solutions while maintaining control.
