GOSS can provide the benefits of Open Source software coupled with the benefits of proprietary software.
The best of both
GOSS offer full support and training
The GOSS solution allows clients to benefit from an Open Source ethos harnessed to proprietary stability. This means that clients can utilise their in-house developer skills and focus on the important work of getting the best out of their website, with the reassurance that GOSS can provide all the support and training needed.
Control your costs and your website
- IT departments get the control and support they need
- Finance departments get the efficiency savings they demand
Website and Intranet modules
The GOSS community shares template developments on GForge. Clients have access to the APIs of all standard templates. New template creation is easy, and full training can be given to sit along side detailed documentation.
A Forms Club also shares form best practice for all to use on GForge. The Forms Club lets you share forms with other clients in a single repository. You can use (and amend) forms others have submitted and they can use forms you have submitted. There are already many forms for use in the Forms Club. The functionality within the forms builder is being further extended to give web managers even more power.
Community
The GOSS community comes together regularly for bi-annual User Groups and quarterly Developer webinars.
