About Us

After years of building custom web development projects for associations and nonprofits in the Washington, DC area, created a custom awards system for a trade association client. We built a system to collect thousands of applications and perform online review with hundreds of reviewers. Little did we know at the time but this online entry/review system would become the backbone of our future.

After officially rebranding to OpenWater in 2014, interest in our awards product exploded. Based on the feedback and interest from our customer base we launched our abstract management software (called Armada) in 2015. Armada evolved into a robust Abstract Management platform with thousands of users all over the world.

In 2022, Advanced Solutions International (ASI), a leading global provider of cloud software and services for associations and non-profits, and the developers of the iMIS Engagement Management System (EMS), acquired OpenWater as part of their growing family of innovative solutions to help associations and non-profits achieve great things.

The OpenWater Name

In rowing, there’s a concept called “open water.”

It’s used to describe the distance between two boats at the finish line. In close races, the front of the trailing boat overlaps with the leading boat. That’s normal. But sometimes, when one crew has truly pulled away from the competition, there’s no overlap at all between the boats.There’s just open water. Our name conjures up our commitment to advancing our solutions and ourselves. One that evokes limitless possibilities and unbroken horizons. And one that reflects upon the people with whom we do business – the visionaries, the go-getters, the people doing everything they can to get ahead of the pack … and stay there.

That’s OpenWater.
