 We do this by making use of open source software and open source platforms which are free and offer the widest range of possibilities. When open source solutions are not available, we try to hide the details of proprietary solutions and integrate them so that the users don't have to worry about using different interfaces. We do this by making use of open source software and open source platforms which are free and offer the widest range of possibilities.
