Open Source

CommonPlaces knows open source applications are becoming much more relevant in today’s technology and we have been moving towards open source solutions as a whole. Open source is a force multiplier for development, with a global community of developers and users sharing ideas and code. As this community grows, so does the probability of a stable, successful solution. With open source, we are able to avoid vendor or platform lock-in and the high support cost of proprietary systems. Open source allows us to reduce or eliminate switching costs and potential data loss through using open, standardized formats. All our open source software is customizable for client-specific features. Open source is expandable and easily integrated with other systems.
