Our approach
Open source + Business focus
Our structured process keeps the focus on your business issues.
The open source value proposition
Open source technology is changing the economics of software development, moving many projects away from proprietary technology and licensing fees toward open standards, best practices and shared community development. As a result, robust enterprise-level solutions are more affordable and accessible.
No project is just about the technology. Effective use of open source requires careful, explicit planning to match requirements to resources and keep the focus on real-world business issues.
Structured business-driven process
Our structured process starts with a close look at business issues to ensure that project definition and scope are directly driven by business need.
We start with a high-level review of business issues and a written description of business goals, followed by a structured discussion of possible strategies and scope.
If work is required, we conduct detailed requirements analysis and written project definitions. We can then implement a project directly or assist with vendor selection and project management as required.
Either way the process includes clear written communication at every step to avoid surprises and keep the client in charge.
