Digital Focus, a Command Information company, launched an Open Source Initiative to help professionals and companies worldwide improve and customize technology programs to their individual needs.
Open Source Software responds to real business needs because it is developed, tested, and improved through public collaboration. It is a methodology for creating software wherein developers worldwide can contribute information, distribute and share programs with others.
"The Digital Focus Open Source Initiative has grown out of an agile development environment where teams want to receive feedback immediately regarding the status of various technology projects," said Erin Smith, president of Digital Focus. "It is a very pragmatic way of evolving software in a rapidly changing environment."
The benefits of using Open Source are numerous, from no licensing fees to round the clock support; Open Source is advantageous for all professionals in the industry. Digital Focus' Open Source Initiative will unveil several Open Source Software products over the next several months.
Open Source Software has become critical to the infrastructure of Corporate America. Companies are deploying software such as Linux, Apache HTTPD, and JBoss in production systems and utilizing software such as Apache Struts, The Spring Framework, and Hibernate to create business critical applications. Digital Focus is taking the next step to supporting these companies.
As part of Command Information, Digital Focus delivers software and services for clients that meet and exceed today's organizational needs, while 'future-proofing' these systems with an understanding and leverage of the new features and functions of IPv6.
