Save time. Save money. Get better code.
Codethink is deeply involved in Open Source - most of our team contribute to major Free Software projects. We believe that proper exploitation of open source economics and processes offer real competitive edge for R&D.
Our customers usually have their own IP, but face increasing conflicts:
- market demand for new functionality
- time pressure
- price erosion and commoditization of core technologies
We help companies to leverage open source:
- identify, evaluate and select the best-fit projects
- find the fastest route to goal
- exploit available code reliably for real-world services and devices
- build and collaborate with open source communities
- optimise architectures, processes, toolchains, teams
Customers benefit by:
- not re-inventing the wheel
- minimising development cost and time-to-market
- aligning maintenance activities to leverage community effort
- reducing software effort waste and increasing effectiveness
