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
