Opensource Consulting Services:

There has yet to be a discussion that open source products are now ready for total enterprise deployment. Openwire has been involved in the open source community since its beginning and has been an active contributor to it in various products. Today for every off-the-shelf software product, a mature open source alternative exists. From the lower end like the LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) stack to more specialized frameworks like Drupal or SugarCRM, Openwire has worked with them all. The cost today of deploying an off-the-shelf software product is not necessarily the cost of the software but deployment and maintenance fees of the product. Today open source products are not necessarily chosen because of cost but because of additional features and lower maintenance cost. Openwire grew up on Open source. Open source has matured and there are several new exciting products coming out to accommodate any enterprise needs with features often not found anywhere else.

The open source applications are a better way to save time and start a business very easily and cost effectively. But open source softwares don't guarantee quality, for this reason our open source customization team, consisting of experienced graphic designers and web developers help our clients in designing templates, creating skins and integrating design, installing them, installing their modes, and also make custom modification as per client needs.
