Genie Interactive Open Source
Initiatives
TREND
The Open Source software
model is fast emerging as a attractive option to traditional
closed solutions. With a wide variety of offerings,
Open Source alternatives are now available for almost
every software requirement. |
In the past few years, Open Source software
has built up an impressive reputation for providing organizations
and developers with powerful, robust, enterprise-class software
solutions and tools at a very low cost of ownership.
Software released under the various Open
Source licences are scrutinized, tested, augmented and improved
by developers all over the world, a community-driven process
which yields high performance, secure and reliable software
in shorter time frames.
Among the better known Open Source offerings
are the Linux Operating System,
which is steadily growing in marketshare, not only as an
enterprise deployment platform but also on the desktop,
and the Apache Web Server,
the world's most popular web server (according to the Netcraft
Web Server Survey). Other popular open source technologies
include scripting languages PHP
and Perl, and the high-performance
database MySQL.
At Genie Interactive, we are actively involved
in this movement. We are in the process of developing our
own Open Source frameworks, as well as using existing software
to deliver solutions for our clients.
Some of our Open Source initiatives:
Content Management System
Our content management solution addresses
shortcomings in currently available content management
systems, providing a wider view of the process of managing
both the initial site development and the ongoing content
management and updation.
The system combines a very powerful and
highly extensible set of project management and content
management functionalities with the simplicity required
to allow users to set up advanced, scalable portal sites
in the minimum time. Cross-platform technologies are used
to ensure reduced initial investments and seamless integration
with existing infrastructure.
B2B Frameworks
Our Business-to-Business eCommerce frameworks
based on Open Source technologies help our clients to
set up full-function B2B sites at an attractive price
point. This is the quickest route to setting up B2B eBusiness
functionality on your site!
Intranet Messaging System
This system helps boost inter-departmental,
inter-office and even inter-organizational communication,
with features such as forums, email messaging, message
archiving and retrieval. It also forms the heart of workflow-enabled
solutions.
Customization
By using Open Source tools such as Drupal,
Joomla,
EzPublish,
Mambo,
PHP-Nuke,
etc. to develop and manage portal sites and OSCommerce,
to build online storefronts, we get our clients' online
applications up and running faster, bringing down their
project investment and operating costs. We also help our
clients build communities around their sites by using
PHPBB
and other popular open source community building tools
and chats.
