Who We Are
Origin Story
In many ways, O&B brought Agile to the Philippines. In 2001, Calen Legaspi and other Java developers formed PinoyJUG, which is today the largest organization of Java developers in the Philippines. Calen Legaspi eventually became its president. In the weekly meetings, they discussed modern software development approaches, including Agile. However, Calen was frustrated that he couldn’t practice many of these approaches in the companies he worked for, which prompted him to start O&B in 2005.
O&B’s formation luckily coincided with the beginnings of the growth of the IT outsourcing industry, and there was a high demand for Java training. O&B provided companies with its 6-week “Java Boot Camp”, but Calen included practices that went way beyond what the companies asked for, Agile practices such as Test-Driven Development, Refactoring, Continuous Integration, and even Design Patterns. These were unheard of in most Philippine companies, so O&B was responsible for introducing Agile practices to the country.
Over the decades, O&B earned its reputation for being the foremost experts in Agile Software Development, DevOps, Java and Cloud. It implemented dozens of large-scale mission-critical systems for banking, payments, logistics, insurance, healthcare, and other industries, as well as provided training, advisory, technical audit and Agile Transformation services. It continues to be the trusted technology adviser to the premier firms in the Philippines.
