Information Technology in Enterprises - traditionally buying proprietary software solutions from different software makers - is fast changing thanks to Open source software. However, for many enterprises the open source stops at adapting Linux. Enterprises can use open source to cut costs, accelerate development, and reduce vendor lock-in. Though on one front, open source gives a perception of being free, on the other it comes with its own costs and risks. And Quadwave helps mitigate these risks and provide the much needed support to Enterprises to adapt and implement the right open source solution.

Quadwave helps enterprises to:

- Reduce development and integration costs

- Reduce support costs for long term

- Reduce and avoid Vendor lock-ins

- Gain access to the functionality of thousands of enterprise software

- and more importantly save money on license fees

Installing open source does not mean all the problems are solved. To use open source and support it in a commercial environment, Quadwave helps the enterprise to:

- Develop and maintain skills required to install and configure open source

- evaluate the maturity of open source

- Improve their understanding of the technology requirements of the business

- Manage open source licensing issues, especially if their company distributes software applications

Since Quadwave has the capabilities of delivering development and support of open source software on Java, PHP and .NET technologies, the enterprise customer has greater possibilities and flexibility of solutions.
