Open source development is a method for software that harnesses the power of distributed development, peer review and transparency of process. The promise of open source is better quality, higher reliability, more flexibility, lower cost, and an end to predatory vendor lock-in. The norms of the open source community – working in loose coordination to solve problems, pursuing rapid prototyping and releases, and quickly and efficiently disseminating information and code – which once seemed like quaint, semi-serious novelties has gone mainstream now with open source software packages which give established software vendors a run for their money.

Open source development is all about making the right choice for solutions to your business needs. You choose the platform, operating environment, development tools and infrastructure components (such as databases and Web servers) that meet your specific project needs.
