What does Open Source Software/Solutions (OSS) mean and how can it benefit me?

Open source software refers to computer software and the availability of its source code as open source under an open source license to study, change, and improve its design. BENEFITS: Support - The open source community provides support in several ways, including documentation, FAQs, bug reports, webrings, mailing lists, and more. Open source support is being supplied by a number of leading ISVs (independent software vendors) and OEMs (original equipment manufacturers), including Oracle, BMC, Red Hat, IBM, HP, and others. HP provides multiple levels of training on Linux from simple administration to advanced driver development. Hardware and software products from these industry leaders that include open source solutions are covered by enterprise-class support agreements. Support is just one element of a solution that these companies include as part of a total package solution.

Can you provide us with localized training of our specific business applications?

Yes. Firstly, we need to study your application(s) and business processes so we can develop the right training program for you. We also want to help you fit your applications around your business processes, as much as possible, and not the other way around. Recently, we developed and presented specialized IT training for a local medical practice - the feedback was very positive.

Can you engineer an automated solution for our city water system?

Yes. We have experience in automation and control engineering and implementation. We recently delivered a HMI/SCADA application for a legacy water control system (HMI/SCADA = Human Machine Interface/Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition); the application uses the following products and technologies: National Instruments' Lookout software development environment; Zetron's Model 17XX Controller/RTU radio system using the MODBUS protocol. The application runs on Microsoft Windows XP Pro and uses a standard RS-232 interface to Zetron equipment. The computer controller application is an event-driven, object-oriented system that monitors storage tank and booster tank levels and controls well pumps to ensure adquate water levels and equipment status. The application talks to the remote wells and pumps via a Zetron wireless communications sytem - no phone lines for PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers).
