Use Open Source in your projects
Enterprise-grade solutions require a short time-to-market,
high cost efficiency and long-term maintainability.
Open Source has a long history of high profile success
stories in building flexible, extensible and manageable IT
solutions, on time and in budget. However, implementing Open
Source can put a strain on an internal IT organisation, which
may not always have the right skillset and knowledge to
successfully make it happen.
Sourcesense is the ideal partner for projects considering
adoption of Open Source technologies. These are just some of
the services we provide for our enterprise clients:
- analyse functional and business requirements,
considering the surrounding IT infrastructure
- design the proper architecture based on a careful
mix of Open Source, proprietary and in-house
technologies
- implement the solution using best-of-breed Agile
methodologies whilst providing customers with proper
oversight of the development process
- assist customers during testing, deployment and the
overall software lifecycle, including updates and future
improvements
- support the solution via SLA-based contracts or
on-site application management
Enterprise Solutions
Our Enterprise Architects are highly skilled people, with
a proven track record in delivering mission-critical
applications for the Enterprise. Our unique approach
guarantees that we use best-of-breed technologies in a way
that helps build complex architectures with an eye on time to
market, and return on investment. Our skills include:
- Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) with technologies
such as Enterprise Service Bus and Web Services;
- J2EE architectures, with a strong focus on making J2EE
lightweight yet effective, using the latest achievements in
frameworks and libraries from the Open Source world;
- Enterprise Application Integration using XML
technologies with arbitrarily complex needs in terms of
information modelling and transformation;
- Enterprise Content Management solutions, with an eye on
providing effective solutions based on the latest standards
and on proven technologies.
Web-oriented architectures
Our Web team has met some of the most complex and
interesting web-based challenges, ranging from multi-million
page-views information sites to highly interactive Web 2.0
applications, with large e-commerce and portal sites in
between. We have a strong focus on providing solutions that
leverage our experience in exploiting the whole spectrum of
HTTP-based technologies. The key areas of our expertise
are:
- Web Content Management and publishing, a topic that has
seen us progressing through a number of commercial and Open
Source frameworks built around the latest and greatest in
the Web Publishing arena. Just name a CMS framework, and
there is a very good chance we have been exposed to it in
the past years;
- Portal technologies, with a particular regard to the
JSR168 standard and its various implementations. We have
been building highly complex and interactive portals, just
ask for our portfolio to see what we've been up to;
- E-commerce frameworks and solutions, which have seen us
involved in building some of the most complex and
interactive e-commerce sites using both proprietary and
Open Source solutions. We will shortly be announcing an
in-house e-commerce framework built upon our latest
experiences and some of the most compelling technologies
around;
- We are proud of being among the few who are making some
bits and pieces of the Semantic Web happen for real: we
have been exposed to and infected by RDF technologies and
we are able to provide our customers with compelling
solutions coming from the world of semi-structured
information and semantic technologies;
- Oh, and last but not least let's not forget a few
buzzwords: Web 2.0, Ajax, mashups, social apps, you name
it. We know quite a bit about that stuff too, just ask
us.
Open Source based methodologies
Open Source and Open Development are more than just code:
countless years of shared development happening on a
voluntary basis in a highly disconnected fashion have
produced a set of methodologies, best practices and tools.
These are precious to today's organizations, who are required
to operate in collaborative yet disconnected ways, in
scenarios where traditional tools and approaches fall short
and are unable to deliver effective solutions. Our experience
in dealing with communities and Open Development on a daily
basis has allowed us to build processes and toolsets that can
be used in traditional organizations as an alternative to
traditional methodologies and tools.
Integration is not a word; it's a sum of facts. We deal in
facts. Just ask us
