Recognized somewhere between a design philosophy and a pragmatic methodology is the Open Source software movement.  To Genacom, Open Source means a production and development environment that is exposed to innovation, and transparent to advances in technology.

Free from the constraints of proprietary architectures and languages, Open Source provides Genacom the ability to build on past success.  Open Source fosters modularization and reusability, with applications being designed to work together.

With Open Source, the code belongs to you, but the possibilities of what the application can do belong to your users.  Modern web services and applications consider the user a part of the development team, bringing valuable process knowledge equity into your product, service, or application.

Genacom believes that Open Source is more than just a philosophy, it’s a smart way to run a business.

Open Standards aren’t new.  They go back as far as commerce itself.  Today, Open Standards can describe anything from clearly stated specifications for achieving a particular task, to systems architectures that connect different business operations across oceans, and between cultures.

Specifications are the product of collaboration, and once agreed upon, become the blueprint for success.

Genacom believes that Open Standards are what makes the Internet a viable conduit for the exchange of products and services to an ever-growing customer base.  Being a good Open Standards partner means using non-proprietary interfaces and design patterns that open our clients businesses to new opportunities, leveraging best practices and proven business models, and opening doors to a widening toolset of solutions.

Build a closed application and you prevent it from seeing the light of day(reaching its full potential).  Today’s Internet is built on an evolving set of Open Architectures, each building on the success of its predecessor, each reaching new capabilities(heights) seldom considered possible through proprietary systems and closed architectures.

Genacom System Architects design Open Architectures, and create interfaces that are robust and flexible to meet today’s and tomorrows expectations.  Using Web Service technologies like XML, SOAP, and WSDL to build smart systems that are extensible and self aware, Genacom creates solutions that maintain their value for longer. 

Open Architectures provide opportunities for smoother improvements down the road too.  Spend less time deconstructing an old shopping cart application, and use that time to build advanced image technology into your eCommerce site.  Open Architecture gives you the power to move in pace with your business.

Open Architectures are modular, portable, and conform to industry approved standards both in development and deployment. 

Today’s toolset includes technologies that didn’t exist five years ago.  To keep up with your business, your development team has to stay sharp, trained with the latest skills and knowledge attainable.  Open Resources is how Genacom keeps your team equipped with the latest in software, hardware, and systems knowledge. 

We build teams based on the needs of your project.  With highly skilled engineers, designers, and leadership, Genacom’s Open Resources are matched to your goals and business requirements.  Unbiased to languages, and equipped with world-class design experience,  our project teams are considered the best in the business.

Open Resources means having the depth to go the distance when your project grows beyond its original expectations.  With flexible team structures and award winning talent, Genacom reduces the overhead of design, shortens development cycles, and hits deployment schedules time after time.

Genacom has the leadership experience to see ahead, and steer towards clearer skies by using proven project methodologies like OOD, and User Centered Design.  Using design aids like UML, application frameworks, use case analysis, and process heuristics, Genacom’s Open Resources deliver on measurable outcomes.

Sometimes it’s the greatest plans that get lost in the effort to produce satisfactory results.  Genacom believes that successful outcomes come as a product(result) of mixing experience with idealism.  Open Idealism is when those goals can be met with confidence, repeatedly throughout the project lifecycle.  Genacom achieves Open Idealism through creating a shared ownership of the outcome with the client, taking their goals and optimism as their own.

Too often projects lose their steam when met with obstacles.  Sometimes the obstacles are difficult to overcome, and maybe weren’t easily visible at the outset.  Genacom’s experience can help cut a path around those challenges, and create a better understanding of how to move forward. 

Open Idealism means putting your goals within reach, not inching the target closer with each misstep or obstacle encountered. Genacom is your partner in Open Idealism.
