Develop and Integrate

Open Source Software is an asset to the IT community and corporations worldwide. Small and Mid-size Enterprises (SMEs) can especially take advantage of these technologies and avoid expensive software licensing fees that they would otherwise have to pay. Here at SaiFirst, we have over 8 years of experience working on an Open Source Platform and offering total Open Source Solutions including the Development and Integration of Web applications and Open Source Databases such as MYSQL and PostgreSQL. We are an experienced Open Source software solution provider based out of the USA.

Our experience is with the following:

• LAMP technology (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP)
• PostgreSQL
• Joomla Content Management System (CMS)
• VirtuMart (E-commerce; Shopping Cart)
• OS Commerce (E-commerce)
• Subversion (SVN) source control
• PHPBB (web discussion boards)
• WordPress (blog)

SaiFirst develops the additional components that are required to bridge the gap between the enterprise’s requirements and the existing open source. This is done considering the licensing policy applied by the open-source software. For example, some of the policies push for sharing the code change made to the original software; this may not go well with an enterprise especially if the code is related to some security. Hence, SaiFirst helps plug this risk with good design and development. This phase also integrates the open-source software work in an integrated manner to the existing third-party software. Most of the time, this integration is possible if the third-party software allows through APIs, web services, or direct database-level integrations. The integrations could be in the form of single sign-on, security and access rights setups Using Biometrics, centralized knowledge management, integration to ERP systems and any such kind of integrations.
