The key purpose of this service that we offer is to bring our customers' software development costs down as low as possible. Building a product on the basis of existing freely distributable code is always by far cheaper and takes much less time. In view of the fact that there are oodles of free, ready-to-use software products and open source components out there, chances are that a suitable ‘foundation’ (framework) for the product you wish to develop is already available. Searching the Web will readily get you open source products in virtually any domain and of almost any complexity, be it databases or complex ERP/CRM systems, research applications or individual components that can be used in implementing your project. Here's a list of some resources that you could use to find some open source products of value:

• http://sourceforge.net
• http://www.ohloh.net
• http://freshmeat.net

In case you have already selected a product to serve as the foundation for your project, we suggest you contact us at Y-NODE Software. After your customization requirements have been properly documented, you will be given the estimate of your project, including how long it will take, billable hours, and the total amount. For details about customization procedure itself, refer to work process, as it is identical to software development procedure.

If the project you have in mind is innovative to the point of being unique, you can cut your costs greatly by relying on Y-NODE Software's expertise in software development. Our high qualification engineers would carry out all involved tasks in the shortest possible time, making the most of Open Source technology infrastructure in doing so.
