Open Source Customization

We extensively work on customising open source applications to meet clients need. We have web programmers experienced in offering PHP / mySQL based services. We perform extensive research to identify the best open source application that suits clients business needs We also provide services to migrate the existing application and data, if any, to the new software. We provide ongoing technical support, and can modify the functionality and add new features.

In many cases, the costs of development using open source technologies are lesser as compared to proprietary software. Therefore, for the client, the overall development costs may also be lesser as compared to parallel technologies. The scope for platform migration (migrating from one OS/Hardware Setup to another), is much more in the case of Open Source software. For the client, this effectively means that porting an application from one platform to another is relatively less expensive. Another great thing about Open Source is that many independent third-party software and utilities that have been developed on Open Source technologies, which cost very little or are absolutely free, can be integrated to existing applications, if such utilities are appropriate to the organization's functioning and business logic.

Benefits of using Open source software:

* Cost savings typically range from 40% to 50% compared to a product developed from scratch, depending on the complexity of customization

* Development time and cost reduced by over 40%

* Software comes with rights to modify

* Complete flexibility for meeting specific needs (not available with proprietary software)

* Enhanced portability

* Vendor neutrality

* Availability of quick fixes and feature enhancements

* Availability of large pool of source codes from the Internet
