Expert Network

Expert Network is a Belgium-based software development firm with offices in Antwerp and Iași, Romania. Founded in 2002 (per the blog post "21 Years of People-Driven Stability"), the company has grown to 100+ employees across 10+ active teams, with 48% of staff holding more than five years of field experience. The firm designs, develops, and maintains software solutions—websites, web applications, and mobile apps—using Agile Scrum methodologies. It holds a Microsoft Certified Gold Partner designation and specializes in Azure and AWS deployments.

The company pitches itself as a partner for businesses dealing with technical debt or outdated platforms. Rather than just execution, Expert Network frames its role as strategic: it works hand-in-hand with clients to define platform strategy, often guiding them on what works and what doesn't, not merely building to spec.

Services and capabilities

Expert Network organizes its offerings into six core service lines.

Software Development covers web and mobile application design and delivery. The company uses Agile Scrum with an emphasis on frequent releases and iterative feedback. Teams focus on business value and customer ROI from the outset, with transparency on strategy, requirements analysis, and testing baked in.

Cloud Solutions target digital transformation and server security. The company is a certified Azure specialist and works with both Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services. For projects like Carflow and Workero, it has reduced hosting costs by migrating to cloud infrastructure while maintaining automatic scalability and high availability. It claims 18+ years without serious security incidents on its cloud-hosted platforms, with ISO standards implemented by providers and further customization per client needs.

Ideation, Design & UX focuses on user experience as a competitive differentiator. The firm challenges assumptions to explore design possibilities and promises complete traceability from business goals to finished product, with cost-effectiveness and transparent delivery.

Software Architecture addresses struggles with outdated systems. Offerings include current-state architecture assessments, deployment planning, best-practice guidance, and the chance to explore multiple solutions. The company positions itself as a tech partner helping clients build their own architectural capability.

DevOps emphasizes continuous delivery and automation. The firm develops strategies for continuous integration and deployment, aiming for shorter time-to-market, reduced costs, and faster application delivery. Teams work autonomously with collective accountability.

Quality Assurance incorporates Agile and Scrum workflows to mitigate risks and handle changing requirements. The company offers committed QA engineers, full-cycle testing, and automated testing at API, UI, and system levels.

Notable work

Expert Network has completed 120+ projects. Among named clients: Workero (a collaborative workspace platform launched in 2017 and ongoing), CC4ALL, AutoDialog, and Independer. The Workero engagement, spanning five years at the time of the testimonial, illustrates the firm's approach. The client needed a flexible platform integrating third-party providers for workspace booking, user networking, and event management. Expert Network's team built a public-facing platform with a booking engine, back-office portal, mobile apps (iOS and Android), and machine learning for event recommendations. Payment processing uses Stripe. The project helped Workero secure European Commission Horizon 2020 funding.

CC4ALL's managing director noted that after engagement began, processes became "finely defined" and predictable, with higher quality deliverables and honest guidance on what works.

How they work

The company outlines a five-phase methodology: Discovery Workshop (sync vision, high-level architecture, functional breakdown, design sketches), Proof of Concept (demonstrate the concept with Solution Architect, Dev Lead, UI/UX Designer), Minimal Viable Product (assign roles, estimate timeline, offer scenarios in fixed-scope or team-as-a-service model), Continuous Delivery (iterative improvement with strong collaboration), and Continuous Improvement & Innovation (advance business based on delivery results). Engagement models include fixed-scope projects and team-as-a-service (autonomous, multidisciplinary teams fully responsible for rapid solution development). The company is ISO certified, with InfoSec practices throughout delivery.
