Software Platforms
Building on the right software platform is an important decision before undertaking any project. Choosing an open source or custom developed platform is a vital part of project planning. Our expertise in open source platforms, frameworks, and programming languages is extensive. We have experience in various open source platforms including WordPress, Magento, Elgg, SugarCRM, Joomla and others (see below).
Here at TECKpert we pride ourselves on our versatility in various software platforms. We believe in open source as the peffered option in any project. The flexibility and costs savings of developing on a ‘free’ platform with a strong user community has advantages over commercial, paid platforms. With open source, we can customize a platform to the specific needs of a vertical market removing us from being locked into any vendor without access to source dose and thus giving us the flexibility to customize software to match our client’s individual needs. This increases the ease of integration within any size organization along with the compatibility of other platforms. An open source platform gives us confidence that our ability to add features and functionality is limitless. Our website is powered by the same platform that powers 33 of the top 100 blogs on the web, WordPress. Our CMS of choice for many websites, WordPress is incredibly flexible and stable. It also has a very active community of users and developers who have created almost 6,000 plugins to extend WordPress’s functionality, adding everything from online polls to Google translation to photo management.
By 2012, 80 percent of all commercial software will include elements of open-source technology. Many open-source technologies are mature, stable and well supported. They provide significant opportunities for vendors and users to lower their total cost of ownership and increase returns on investment.
TECKpert can adapt open source platforms to suite the needs of our customers for any development project. Many projects call for custom platforms to be created and that’s when we use a specific framework to build our application on. Below is a list of platforms we specialize in.
