Focus on Open Source

Our focus on open source does not only advance the technological progress, but also offers our customers and partners various advantages:

  • Sustainability – Because the source code is freely accessible, everyone can further develop or adapt the product to any requirements. Additionally, open source software ususually is well documented, which ensures a flexible, long-lasting and independent lifecycle.
  • Security – As many developers use the code, security gaps can be detected and closed much faster than it is the case with proprietary software.
  • Saving of costs – Open source software usually is free of license costs, which relieves your IT budget.
  • Innovation – Open source software is often further developed by a large and capable community, who is interested in innovative solutions and extensions.
  • Standard compliance – Open source products often implement open standards, making them much more interoperable than proprietary applications.
