Open source software integration refers to any program whose source
code is made available for use or modification as users or other developers see
fit. Open source software is similar in idea to free software but slightly
milder than the free software movement. Users of open source software are
generally able to view the source code, alter and re-distribute open source
software. There is however less emphasis on the right of information in the open
source movement and source code to be free and in some cases companies are
capable of developing proprietary products based on open source ones.
At Softage the basic idea behind open source is very simple: Our programmers
read, redistribute, and modify the source code for a piece of software, so that
a new, modified, better software evolves. They go on to improve it, adapt it and
fix bugs at quite a speed. Interestingly, rapid integration process produces
better software than the traditional closed model, in which only a very few
programmers can see the source and everybody else must blindly use an opaque
block of bits. Open Source
software integration exists to make this case to the commercial world.

Open source software integration is the latest trend. For twenty years it has
been building momentum in the technical cultures that built the Internet and the
World Wide Web. Now it's breaking out into the commercial world, and that's
changing all the rules. Softage works on many successful software project outsourcing related to
development of operating systems, specialized software tools or applications.
Linux, Mozilla, PHP, JBoss, CVS, Bugzilla are examples of open source software
technologies that Softage professionally uses in both customer-facing projects
and for internal needs. The company’s Integration Services helps utilize the
most suitable solution using Open Source technologies through Open Source
software integration, migration to open platforms or with custom Open Source
development.
Pertinently open source
software integration can be maintained by the client after taking the
training, or can be maintained by the company, through various support options.
Softage Inc is experienced in Open Source software integration with different
types of operating systems (Windows, Linux, etc.), middleware (Oracle, DB2, Web
Sphere, Bea, etc.) and vertical applications. Softage packages offer the
flexibility to meet a range of needs. At Softage Inc the main aim of open source
is to let the product be more understandable, modifiable, reliable or simply
accessible, while it is still marketable.
