Let’s develop great software. Together.

DevOn is the software development organization within Waada. We help organizations build and evolve software through high-performing development teams, consultancy, and training, with a strong focus on Agile, DevOps, and AI. Our belief is simple: software should deliver real value. That’s why we build tailor-made solutions that maximize impact and always put the end user first.

Where do we come from?

DevOn originates from the Waada movement, founded by Rahul Sah. Born in India and living in the Netherlands for over three decades, Rahul built DevOn to bridge Indian and European strengths through technology, craftsmanship, and passion. This vision led to the founding of Prowareness India in 2004, delivering high-quality software with teams that worked according to Agile principles long before Agile became mainstream. Agile is therefore deeply embedded in our DNA.

Since 2013, Waada has also supported organizations in the Netherlands with Agile transformations through Prowareness, focusing on organizational change alongside technology.

Frequently asked questions

1. What is the risk of using CoPilot for all developers?

AI is an accelerator. Existing flaws in the SDLC process or low craftsmanship skills, will also magnify with AI. It’s even more important to have a strong process and train your employees to senior software engineers.

The biggest two ways to improve the outcome of your department is

  1. go faster with AI [link to whitepaper] and
  2. Add great developers to your teams.

It’s important to see each other often. With webcams, good microphones and meeting each other physically frequently is important.

Next, when we hire your developers, we strongly look at communication, culture and mindset. We want to replicate your company culture and train our people to the west-european mindset.

These teams have both local and remote developers. The local developers can visit your office frequently. While the remote developers focus on building great features for your users and customers.

This combination gives you cheaper hourly rates and still high value-for-money.
