Since its inception in 2003, OpenTech has been dedicated to delivering quality, cutting-edge solutions that empower self storage businesses to thrive in an ever-evolving consumer world. The company began with a vision to revolutionize self-service technology to improve self storage transactions for operators and tenants. After launching with full-service kiosks, the company built a robust portfolio of products, ranging from access control to security monitoring and call center solutions to online auctions, to provide practical solutions to numerous tenant and operator challenges. Today, as it celebrates this momentous milestone, OpenTech extends its heartfelt appreciation to its valued customers, dedicated employees and partners, without whom this achievement would not have been possible.

Our team’s tireless efforts and the trust bestowed upon us by our clients have been the pillars of our success, and for me, the truest mark of accomplishment. We are humbled by the loyalty and support we have received throughout our journey — and grateful for the many people who have believed in and helped build this dream over the past 20 years.”

As OpenTech looks back on the remarkable progress and growth, the company acknowledges the challenges faced and lessons learned over its 20-year history. Each hurdle served as a stepping stone to improve and evolve, making the company, its teams and its technology solutions stronger. The company’s commitment to continuous improvement and a learning culture will remain the driving force behind its future growth.

“Looking ahead, we are excited about the possibilities that the future holds,” stated Mike Connolly, Co-Founder, COO and President of International of OpenTech Alliance. “We are committed to staying at the forefront of innovation, exploring new technologies and expanding our global footprint to better serve our customers.”
