Open Source

Are you looking for help with how to implement, maintain or manage an Open Source software product, or help on how/if your should 'Open Source' an existing software solution?

Senokian can help you with your decision making process.

Our Heritage

Senokian have been involved with Open Source solutions and the community since 2001 and through our software development, implementations and other involvements have gained a huge wealth of experience that we are able to bring to your business.

Whether you have decided to implement a large Open Source system and need some expert advice, or are looking for help to manage the transition to Open Source and avoid the pitfalls this can involve – the Senokian team are here to help.

As an Open Source Company we try to work with Open Source Software whenever possible as there is plenty of high quality, free software that can be used. However, as with all software, it is not always the case that there will be a piece of Open Source Software that will fully satisfy your needs. Perhaps some further development or adjustments are needed? Unlike proprietary software though, as the software source code is available, Senokian Solutions can help you with this and undertake these further developments.

The power of Open Source software

By using software with no license costs the money you would normally spend implementing a proprietary software solution that only fits 90% of your requirements/business processes, can be used to customise an Open Source alternative to exactly fit your needs. Often the Open Source solution will cost considerably less than the closed source one and the money you save can be used to train staff on new and existing software to help improve the efficiency.

Open Source Alternatives

Before you go ahead and start paying for the development of new software, you should consider if there is a good starting ground in the Open Source software world. At Senokian we start with software that has been tried and tested, and do further development and adjustments to ensure it will cover your specific needs. Only when there is no good starting-ground, do we write the software from scratch - such as our software Enterprise Groupware System (EGS).
