At Open Query Research we look at a diverse range of topics, often triggered by questions or experiences from clients. This may be related directly to technology, but also underlying design/architecture, business processes, and security.
We are known and respected by our clients (and others) as a company that always tells the facts, no matter what. Below are some public snippets of our work over the years.
