When Open Source developers talk about “free software” they are referring to freedom, not price. Put simply, Open Source technology allows anyone to inspect and improve the source code. This process has resulted in highly reliable, secure, high-performance platforms on which to build web applications. Open Source Software (OSS) does not provide a solution for every computing requirement, nor always an optimal solution, but it is a well established part of the computing ecosystem; playing critical roles in Internet and business infrastructures.
Choosing an Open Source platform for your application can lower your overall technology risk and reduce the cost of development and long-term maintenance. While independent software vendors are motivated primarily to generate a profit, Open Source developers tend to focus only on computing problems. Open Source software generally complies with industry standards and doesn’t carry the risk of “vendor lock-in” and forced upgrades by software vendors.
Our staff has good commercial experience with Open Source Software, Free Software and their precursors in the early Unix and Internet communities. We like to think that this experience gives us an advantage when it comes to identifying which open source software applications and toolsets provide the best means of achieving specific business objectives.
Throughout the last ten years, the Open Source developer community has produced many of the most trusted building blocks of the web. Apache, the Open Source web server, is used on two-third of all web sites. PHP, though a non-commercial product, is used on over 14 million web sites and is more popular than Microsoft’s competing solution.
Many of our custom designed e-business solutions and applications are developed by using famous combination of LAMP (LINUX APACHE MYSQL PHP), One of the widely popular open source combination. PHP is a server side cross platform, HTML embedded scripting language used to create dynamic web pages from the data provided. PHP is the UNIX/LINUX counterpart of Active Server Pages that is more robust and far faster than ".asp". Pages are generated quicker because scripts are processed on the server before they are sent out to your browser. If your goal is to develop high quality php and my SQL/ PostgreSQL based web base applications in an expedient manner and want to save money doing it - your search could be over.
