Open Source Solutions
Use of the open source technologies in the enterprise sector is no longer a question, but necessity for reducing ownership and operational costs. The movement itself gained its biggest popularity in the 90s with the introduction of Linux operating system. As a response to a criticism, mass adoption and demand for support services and predictable maintenance of the products released under an open-source licenses, a new market has emerged in the form of 'professional open source companies'. With this model businesses are able to take advantage of lower cost, early access and expansive license terms while using enterprise grade products with the added professional services - like training, maintenance and technical support.
With the adoption of the open source technologies well under way, Advanced 365 has identified and constantly trying to improve its offering in following areas, as recognised by industry experts:
Cost
- the combination of up-front cost savings and improved time-to-market become first and the most powerful motivation behind the adoption of the open source technologies.
Innovation
- comes hand in hand with the open source technologies in the way where new ways how to optimise various software aspects are constantly emerging, being tested and tried by thousands of community members - including large organisations.
Breaking Vendor Lock-In
- by source code availability protects customers from depending upon a single provider for access to the product, enables them to implement custom functionality easily and enhances support options.
Agility and Scale
- has never been so easily achievable. Transformation of the cost factor and expansiveness of the licenses terms allows customers to deploy the open source technologies in the ways not possible with the closed software.
Quality and Security
- as one of the prominent signs of the open source products is being tested daily by the large community of the users, first time in history having unrestricted access to the product internals.
Having experiences with the open source adoption, Advanced 365 is endorsing these principles by working closely with the customers, community and professional vendors. The proximity to the technology and its practical use allows us to provide the pool of highly qualified consultants able to address complex and diverse technical and deployment problems.
