About Rachel
Rachel - Solution Architects is a Belgian software company founded by Frank De Smedt, building on over a quarter century of experience from Avalon Network. We're not a large agency, nor a code factory. We are solution architects: we think through your business challenges, design the right architecture and ensure it gets built and delivered. From vision to working product.
Our DNA is applied consulting: strategic thinking and practical execution. We don't just give our clients a vision — we make sure that vision becomes reality. And we transfer knowledge so your team can carry on independently.
We prefer to work as architects — the link between your organisation and the development team. But for projects where it fits, we take on full development as well. The essential thing is that we stay hands-on with technology, so our advice is always rooted in practice.
No vendor lock-in.
Your code and data are yours. Always.
No buzzwords.
We don't build "disruptive AI-driven platforms". We build software that does what it needs to do.
No surprises.
Clear communication, realistic timelines, honest budgets.
Knowledge transfer.
We make ourselves redundant. That's the best compliment.
