Open source software is computer software in which the source code is available and free to use, develop and distribute by anyone who wishes. Users can adapt it to their needs and ensure that it does what it is supposed to do. Open source is both a technical description, a copyright principle and a business concept. It has revolutionised the IT industry worldwide.
Everything we deliver to our clients is open source and free of licensing fees. This brings great benefits to our clients:
- What you see is what you get - because the code is open, nothing is hidden.
- The focus of our development work is on further development, not on basic software. It is much faster and cheaper to produce finished software.
- Much open source software is already available and can be integrated into the development of a new functionality.
- It is easy and inexpensive to try out software to see if it works in practice.
- And last but not least - the client does not run the risk of being locked in if it later needs to develop itself or change supplier.
