A mission-driven digital infrastructure consultancy serving nonprofits, artists, and organizations working for the public good.

Digital infrastructure has become increasingly complex and centralized. Mission-focused organizations face mounting pressure to surrender control of their data and systems to large tech companies whose values and practices often don’t align with their own.

Ochotona offers an alternative. We design, build, manage, and advise on resilient, secure digital infrastructure that keeps you in control.

Our approach:

• You maintain ownership and control of your data
• Use of open source software that you can inspect and modify
• Privacy and security at the core
  
• Clear communication, documentation, and knowledge transfer
• Systems you can maintain and build upon independently

We work with environmental groups, cultural organizations, research institutions, independent media, artists, and local governments worldwide. Our clients come to us when they need help building robust systems while maintaining (or regaining) control of their digital presence, and want the infrastructure they depend on to reflect and amplify their own goals and priorities.

We favor simplicity over unnecessary complexity, relying on a mix of battle-tested open source solutions alongside the latest networking, security, and communications tools. And we support a healthy open source ecosystem by returning 10% of all profits to the projects we and our partners rely on.

While we typically take on new work through referrals, we’re always happy to help. If you’d like to discuss your needs, get in touch.
