What Dev IQ does

DevIQ is a Denver-based, privately held cloud-native software engineering and delivery consultancy founded in 2014, operating with a team in the 11–50 employee range. The firm sells professional services rather than packaged software, targeting mid-market and enterprise customers across insurance, manufacturing, government, construction, healthcare, and industrial IoT verticals. Core service lines include AI services (strategy, agentic AI design, ML/GenAI integration, RAG/GraphRAG), cloud-native application development, data engineering, platform modernization, and industrial IoT — recently formalized into packaged accelerators such as the AI Strategy Workshop, AI Build Phase, and Databricks Accelerator.

Underlying technology spans AWS, Microsoft Azure, Databricks, .NET, Angular, Python, SQL, and modern data platforms including the Databricks Lakehouse. Differentiated engineering IP includes the Symphony agentic delivery methodology, a Blueprint Framework for API conventions, a modular monolith architecture with CQRS via MediatR, multi-tenant Databricks isolation patterns (tenant-scoped Genie spaces, dedicated catalogs/schemas, Unity Catalog governance), and an Edge Control Plane for Model Context Protocol (MCP) external agent integration. The go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales, complimentary intro strategy sessions, AWS Advanced Tier and Microsoft/Databricks partner co-sell motions, and content-led demand generation through the DevIQ Quarterly newsletter and a technical insights blog. Revenue mechanics are project-based, with custom pricing tied to scope, technology stack, and engagement duration; the firm has executed an acquisition (Notion One, February 2020) and maintains multi-year enterprise relationships including Douglas County, O'Neal Steel, and Evertree Insurance.
