Open Source software offer a framework for lower cost solutions provided that the systems built are constructed following good design and coding practice and are following a quality management approach. This is where Crimsonwing adds real value to Open Source projects.

Open Source is a model where a wide net of extra-organisational participants and communities work together to create a unique and innovative product. It is believed that today’s innovations require knowledge and input from a wider variety of people and technologies than can be found within a single organisation. This is what sets Open Source software apart and provides it with such a leading edge technology.

Crimsonwing focuses on two main Open Source frameworks –  Magento eCommerce and Joomla Content Management – but can also build custom solutions using a mixture of free and commercial Open Source components.

Running Open Source software for your business processes has its advantages and disadvantages. Often the lack of support from a reliable IT development company is used as a reason to select a license based solution. Crimsonwing has become a Magento Enterprise Partner to take away that discussion and provide you with all the support needed.

• Magento Enterprise Partners have direct contact with the Varien development team for urgent problems
• Crimsonwing's years of eCommerce expertise and development of custom specific functionality creates a reliable project environment.

Crimsonwing has established a practice to offer its clients a choice of eCommerce platforms and we are confident to be able to give you the right advice for the solution that fits your business best.

With Open Source software licence costs can be significantly reduced. In addition, time to delivery can often be brought down through the availability of extensions that can reduce the extent of custom code required.
