Dynasol

What Dynasol does

WeAreFrank! (operating under the Dynasol entity per the input data) is a Netherlands-based open-source integration software company that develops and supports the Frank!Framework platform. The core product is a low-code integration platform with 100+ pre-built building blocks designed to connect legacy systems, modern APIs, databases, cloud services, and custom applications. Complementary products include Frank!Gateway for orchestration, Managed Integrations for outsourced integration operations, Datavirtualisatie for unified data access, and specialized Dutch-government connectors (Haal Centraal Connector and ZaakBrug) targeting the Common Ground municipal architecture. The Frank!Framework has operated in mission-critical Dutch financial-sector IT environments for over 20 years and is publicly positioned as an alternative to SAP Integration Suite, TIBCO BW5, Adeptia, and Microsoft BizTalk.

The company monetizes exclusively through services rather than software licensing: the Frank!Framework is fully open source with no license fees, so revenue is generated from paid implementation services, recurring support services, and training delivered through Frank!Academy. Go-to-market is a direct enterprise field-sales motion supplemented by a growing certified partner network, targeting three primary segments — large Dutch enterprises, government (particularly municipalities undergoing Common Ground migration), and financial services (banks and insurers with high reliability and compliance requirements). The company employs 34 people, publishes 102+ insights articles, maintains an active WeAreFrank!TV video channel, and lists 11 published case studies. No parent company, institutional investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity are disclosed.

The customer base includes named Dutch municipal governments (Gemeente Utrecht, Den Haag, Leeuwarden, Sittard-Geleen, Rotterdam, Fryske Marren, ODMH), the Dutch Police (Politie), major financial institutions (ING, Delta Lloyd, NN), and enterprise customers across manufacturing, logistics, retail, and consulting (IGM Resins, Eekels, SWF, Group of Butchers, Quinso). Operations are entirely domestic, with no evidence of expansion beyond the Netherlands.

Direct peers

• Boomi (Dell Technologies): Boomi is a low-code iPaaS platform for application, data, and API integration, used widely across enterprise IT and government. It is a direct competitor to Frank!Framework's low-code integration proposition, with a much larger global footprint and integration marketplace.
• Tray.io: Tray.io is a low-code general automation and iPaaS platform for integrating SaaS apps, APIs, and data. It competes with Frank!Framework in the low-code integration builder space, primarily for SaaS-heavy enterprise customers rather than legacy/regulated workloads.
• SnapLogic: SnapLogic offers a low-code integration platform (SnapGPT/IRIS) with a visual drag-and-drop approach and pre-built 'Snaps'. Like Frank!Framework, it targets enterprise IT teams needing to connect legacy, SaaS, and cloud systems, but with a global SaaS go-to-market.
• Workato: Workato is a low-code/no-code iPaaS platform purpose-built for business and IT teams to automate integration workflows. It competes directly with Frank!Framework's low-code + 100+ building blocks approach, with broader commercial SaaS reach but similar enterprise and mid-market positioning.
• MuleSoft (Salesforce): MuleSoft is the leading enterprise iPaaS vendor, offering Anypoint Platform for connecting legacy systems, APIs, and cloud services — the same core problem Frank!Framework addresses. Both sell into large enterprises and regulated industries, though MuleSoft is license/SaaS-based and global while Dynasol is open source and Netherlands-focused.

Emerging players

• Adeptia: Adeptia is an integration suite focused on B2B, API, and EDI integration for mid-market and enterprise. Dynasol specifically calls out Adeptia as a competitor it aims to displace with its open-source, lower-cost Frank!Framework platform.
• WSO2: WSO2 is an open-source API management and integration platform (WSO2 Enterprise Integrator) closely aligned to Frank!Framework's open-source enterprise integration positioning. Both target regulated enterprises with on-premise or hybrid deployment requirements, though WSO2 has broader geographic reach.

Others

• TIBCO: TIBCO (and TIBCO BW5 specifically) is an established enterprise integration middleware vendor with deep legacy installed bases in financial services and government. Dynasol markets Frank!Framework as a 'smart alternative' to TIBCO BW5 for organizations seeking open-source, lower-cost integration stacks.

Broad incumbents

• SAP Integration Suite: SAP Integration Suite is the integration backbone of the SAP ecosystem and the largest incumbent Dynasol explicitly competes against. Frank!Framework is marketed as a 'smart alternative' for organizations standardizing on or migrating off SAP, particularly in the Netherlands.
• Microsoft BizTalk Server: Microsoft BizTalk is a long-standing enterprise integration broker used widely in Dutch enterprise and government IT. Dynasol explicitly positions Frank!Framework as a 'smart alternative' to BizTalk for organizations modernizing off legacy Microsoft middleware.
