Open Source

Open source technologies bring in the power of scalability, flexibility, customization and professional user interface to your web applications. This opportunity offered by open source is best exploited to build quick and secure applications, leading to increased open source adoption amongst many enterprises. UMITAS has significant experience in providing software development and customization solutions using various open source technologies to organizations. Some examples of our recent work include social networking and talent management portal in the Amazon cloud, hyper responsive bidding application for trading ISV, content management system, custom ePub Server and Reader for collaborative learnings and text analytics. Our proficiency in various open source platforms will help you in the rapid development of high performance web and enterprise applications. We have expertise in the following open source technologies:

LAMP based development:

LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Python/Perl) is the open source platform for development and deployment of high performance web and enterprise applications. Many solutions built for your specific needs would take advantage of the solution stack that LAMP provides.

Ruby-on-Rails based development:

We have built various applications for mobile and web platforms taking advantage of the versatile features of Ruby-on-Rails. Rails is platform independent and adapts the MVC (model-view-controller) compound design pattern approach for system design for building a neat, structured code which is easily maintainable and flexible. The rapid development principle of Don’t Repeat Yourself (DRY) helps in reduced time-to-market by building faster applications with use of less code without compromising the performance and scalability.

CMS based development:

Drupal, Joomla and WordPress bring the power of social network, scalability, customization and professional user interface to web applications and websites. They provide ready solutions stack for managing web content with great ease. We provide solutions using these content management systems to ease development and build a secure and flexible website that is modular and SEO friendly.

Rich Internet Applications Development:

Sophisticated client-side UI frameworks take advantage of technologies like AJAX to present large amount of content at one place and with great user interactivity. We use open source frameworks, such as JQuery, Ext JS and YUI to build high performance rich internet applications that are robust and provide a great user experience.

Java/JEE based development:

Java/JEE technology stack offers various enterprise ready frameworks, API and toolkits to simplify enterprise product development. We; at UMITAS, are well versed with Java/JEE stack, spring, Apache and many other open source Java and related technologies like Apache Tomcat, Spring, Message Brokers- Apache ActiveMQ, Rabbit MQ , Jasper Reports, Quartz, Drools , Apache Kafka, Infinispan Cache, etc

Hadoop Based Development:

Hadoop is an open source framework used to store and process large scale data sets; also known as Big Data. We at UMITAS, have deep expertise in developing applications with Hadoop framework and utilizing protocols such as HDFS, and integrating complimentary modules like Hbase to wrap a table structure around Hadoop, Solr to enable faster searching, Postgre SQL and so on. Building applications using open standards provides a certain level of insurance to enterprises from being locked into a specific vendor’s product. The investment in an application need not be lost should the enterprise decide to change some part of their infrastructure. Our experience in open source platforms and technologies mean we can deliver high performing, scalable, fault tolerant products in many domains. We can help you leverage the best of open source to deliver results with agility, while managing costs.
