Open Source Development
Open source software development has , since the recent past , impacted our perception of the software landscape . The provision of the source code being made available for change and redistribution is an energizing opportunity that accelerates development and progress . This provision gives into your hands the authority to make and affect changes to the software to well suit your business needs .
We can help you take the ’open source’ advantage
The ‘Open Source’ advantage
“Open source software is distributed under a type of license that promotes sharing by preserving public availability of source code and preventing restrictions on the software’s use and distribution.” [1]
The ability to own the source code of your software and to be able to affect changes to it is given to you by definition of open source software . Your organization will be able to leverage this feature to exercise integration of in-house components that are critical your the business strategy .
The absence of vendor lock in is a very liberating fact to your organization . Your software is completely under your ownership in spirit and in substance.
Licensing and renewal costs are non-existent in the case of open source software . Only commercial support and documentation will incur a cost . Hence cost cutting is an inherent feature that will appease your software budget .
