Open Source

Futurism Technologies is unique in employing Open Source Technology for Enterprise Solutions and IT Outsourcing and Consulting Services to source, manage and deliver IT projects effectively and efficiently.

Open Source code is made available free of charge to the general public. The rationale for this is that a large community of developers who are not concerned with proprietary ownership will produce a more useful and bug-free product for everyone's benefit. The open source concept relies on community members finding and eliminating bugs in the program code, a process which commercially developed and packaged programs do not utilize. The process of eliminating bugs and improving the software happens at a much quicker rate than through the traditional development channels of commercial software. The information is shared throughout the Open Source community and does not originate nor channel through a corporation's research and development department.

Besides being free and of very high quality, Open Source Technology is often more powerful than most commercially available products. This is because its shared development harnesses the benevolent brilliance of thousands around the world who are continually developing, improving, and evolving its core. It's a worldwide community, getting together to build something awesome, regardless of distance, language, and culture.

That's why openness is one of our core values. Open communication enables learning, which leads to knowledge, which empowers people. We empower clients by making project progress, problems, and pricing completely transparent. We use open source software extensively as it, again, empowers us to get in-depth knowledge about how an application is constructed, and to fix it or enhance it when needed.
