Evidence-Driven
We start with data, research, and real-world context so every recommendation is informed, credible, and defensible.
Building Resilience for the Systems That Research Runs On
IOI is an independent organization working across the research sector. We've spent years building close relationships with every kind of sector stakeholder. That span is what lets us see connections, gaps, and opportunities that aren't visible from inside any single part of the network.
We Help You Evaluate, Fund, and Sustain Open Infrastructure
We work with funders, institutions, and infrastructure providers to make informed, strategic decisions in a complex and evolving landscape. Through research, advisory, and ecosystem insight, we provide the clarity needed to act with confidence.
IOI's extensive experience in the open infrastructure space and their expertise in sustainability and governance will help arXiv chart its course for decades to come as it works to serve the research community even better and be even more responsive to its evolving needs.

Areas of Expertise
Practical Approach to Complex Decisions
We combine research, strategic insight, and deep ecosystem knowledge to help organizations move from questions to action. Our approach is collaborative, transparent, and grounded in the realities of open infrastructure.
Focused on Decisions
We don't just generate insight. We help you apply it. Our work is designed to support clear choices about funding, adoption, and strategy.
Ecosystem Aware
Open infrastructure doesn't exist in isolation. We consider the full landscape: stakeholders, dependencies, and long-term sustainability.
Collaborative by Design
We work closely with your team and partners, aligning perspectives and building shared understanding along the way.
Oriented Toward Action
Our goal is progress. We deliver practical guidance, not just analysis, so you can move forward with confidence.
