XWiki for Software Companies

The Freedom of a Professional Open Source Platform

Many factors are pushing software companies to integrate open source components in their offer and to establish long term working relationships with open source software publishers. Time to market is becoming an essential key success factor and sofware publishers need to increase productivity by integrating quality functional components. At the same time, a software company today cannot simply take the risk of building their product on a platform for which they don't have full technical control. Only a professional open source platform like XWiki gives software publishers the freedom, the flexibility and the accountability they need to develop their offer with serenity.
