A new Australian software design and development company is now making the benefits of of open source software available to Australian business. Opensoft Australia is the creation of Neville Bradbury and has signed agreements with leading international developers and evaluators of secure, high performance operating systems. Already working with Opensoft Australia are the leading US opensource operators, Groundworks, J Boss and Red Hat.
Neville Bradbury said at the launch of Opensoft’s new premises in North Sydney that “the potential of open source software had been recognised by the IT community for many years. Until now the business community had been unable to leverage the cost and efficiency benefits due to a lack of expertise in adapting it to commercial applications”.
The international organisation’s backing Opensoft are recognised world leaders in the open source field and in combination with Opensoft’s highly experienced local team of designers and developers will provide Australian business with the best open source or hybrid open source and retail programming solutions to meet their specific needs.
“ In the IT and general business community today one of the hottest debates in the the design and installation of new or modified systems concerns the development of open sourced based solutions versus commercial off the shelf products” said Mr bradbury. “ For many it is a choice of one or the other – a fixed inflexible attitude that can lead to additional and unwarranted cost in the case of highly expensive and complex licensed software solutions that that contain features that are simply not required by the client” he added.
Opensoft says it does not have a fixed or biased attitude towards software or hardware for that matter. “ We start by understanding the system requirements of our clients and then go about packaging the most cost efficient and operationally sound software solutions” said Mr Bradbury.
These solutions may be based on open source software modified to meet the spec or a hybrid solution using both retail and open source programs tailored to work with or replace existing systems.
Neville Bradbury has wide experience in both Business and IT sectors. Neville has been engaged to provide review, recommend and design processes and solutions across a broad range of companies such as Australian Stock Exchange, CBA, IAG, ING Bank, Optus, Mortgage Choice, Southcorp Wines and major law firms.
