What Inquisitives does

Inquisitives is a privately-held software development and IT services firm founded in 2001 and headquartered at 82 Nassau Street in the Wall Street district of New York. The firm delivers enterprise software development, offshore development teams, IT staffing, and ERP implementation across Odoo, Microsoft Dynamics AX, Microsoft Dynamics GP, and SharePoint, serving clients in technology, healthcare, manufacturing, telecommunications, energy, and other verticals. Named customers include Google, Microsoft, Cisco, Intel, eBay, Samsung, Siemens, Sanofi, Xerox, and Yahoo, with the firm stating it has served 300+ clients globally since inception.

The company's core technical capabilities span .NET, PHP, C#, HTML5, JavaScript, Microsoft Azure, SharePoint, and the Odoo ERP platform, with teams structured into Project Leaders, Senior Developers, Intermediate Developers, and Junior Developers in units of 5-20 engineers. The firm operates a pure professional services revenue model, billing clients hourly or monthly for dedicated offshore development teams that integrate into client internal operations, and positions itself on staff turnover below 5%, pricing described as 20% below market, and dedicated (non-reassigned) team assignments. Go-to-market combines enterprise field sales with an inside sales motion handling phone and website inquiry forms.

The firm is privately held with no disclosed parent company, funding rounds, institutional investors, patents, or proprietary technology products. Through the acquisition of HCS Group, the firm added an on-demand developer acquisition channel alongside its dedicated-team core offering. No AI/ML capabilities, research, or senior technical leadership hires are disclosed; the business is positioned as a labor-based services firm with no announced platform, product, or intellectual property moat beyond team continuity.
