Open Source Technologies

Open source means that the product's source code will be made available to its users, can be downloaded and modified as long as license requirements are observed. Since open source solutions are different than commercial software, NextGen IT Solutions uses new methods to build applications based on Open Source Software(OSS). With the endless possibility of learning and development, open source software is here to stay and we have identified its impact, use and advantages for our clients.

Following are some of the OSS we use:

Java:
Java is an object oriented programming language that enables platform independent, secure and high performance software development. Applications written in java can help your business do better with lower development costs.

PHP:
PHP is one of the most popular server side scripting languages running today. It offers many advantages - it is fast, stable, secure and easy to use.

Joomla:
An award-winning content management system (CMS), which enables you to build Web sites and powerful online applications. Many aspects, including its ease-of-use and extensibility, have made Joomla the most popular open source Web site software available.

MySQL:
MySQL is used with PHP as back-end tool. MySQL is the popular online database and can be interfaced very well with PHP. Therefore, PHP and MySQL are excellent choice for webmasters looking to automate their web sites.

dotProject:
dotProject is a web-based project management application, designed to provide project layout and control functions. dotProject is used to manage the day to day activities of project progression. The difference between project management and, for example, help desk, is that help desk functions are about interrupt driven, unplanned / unexpected tasks. dotProject is for managing a defined workload.
