Open Source Software - Its role in your business

Don't change your process

Open Source Software (OSS) is provided on the basis that the software source code is freely accessible to all, and may be modified by any user at any time to meet their particular needs.

In practice this means Valley Technology can quickly integrate tried and tested OSS components, complement them with bespoke programming, to automate your existing business processes.

There is no need change your practices to suit the way an off-the-shelf package wants you to work.

Reduce system development time

OSS can be modified to suit your specific purposes. This shortens traditional development processes as development does not begin from scratch, rather it begins from a well-crafted, and well-tested set of software components that have been subject to global peer review.

Valley Technology know when, and which components to use and when to compliment these with bespoke software components.
