We work with individual clients or groups
of collaborative members to deliver applications that
retain many or all of the benefits of open source software.
Sourcing starts with research into available sources.
Sources include:
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Open Source |
|
| |
We test, adopt, extend, and support software
available under a variety of open source licenses.

Established Software Vendors
|
|
| |
We work with software vendors to acquire
their software under a collaborative source license, so
that members and contractors can integrate and enhance
the products. Arrangements with vendors may include non-exclusive
licenses, licenses where the vendor recaptures derivative
works, and licenses where members pay a market price for
using the software, but not for source access.

Startup software vendors
|
|
| |
We work with startups to acquire their software,
or to allow them to refine their software with collaborative
members. This can result in substantial savings for customers,
while the vendor is compensated with gains in IP value.

Industry and Member Contributors
|
|
| |
If one participant in the industry has a
need, the chances are good that other participants have
developed and tested something that approximately meets
that need. We can license that software and take over
enhancement and maintenance responsibilities.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Shared Development
|
|
| |
We can arrange collaborative development
of software, so that each member only pays a fraction
of the total development and maintenance costs.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Custom Development
|
|
| |
Assembla has powerful capabilities for rapid,
low-cost custom software development.
|
|
| |
| |
|
| |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
Typically, we can deliver full source code
and active support inside the collaborative
infrastructure. A lot of the power of the
collaborative approach comes from its flexible
approach to sourcing.
