English Home Who are we ? Numeric identity E-administration Expertise References Partners Truly Free Software The solutions we develop are free projects, truly reversible. This is different from an "Open Source" solution that many companies, not specialists in free software, can offer. The term “Open Source”, quite respectable at the outset, is today overused by companies which use it as a marketing argument, by pretending not to understand the real issues behind the opening of the Internet. code of their solution, first and foremost is customer independence. Free software is open from the first line of code and developed collaboratively, while the code of "Open Source" software is often opened a posteriori. This has major implications for the quality of the code. We do not pay the same attention to the readability and structure of the code when we develop in our corner and when we are subject to the critical eye of a community of outside developers. Free software must be accompanied by documentation that is itself free and its code must be clearly documented to allow easy appropriation. Software recently declared "Open Source" very rarely meets these criteria. Free software must have its source code accessible by anyone, have a specific discussion list, a community of users. Entr'ouvert is very involved in the free software community, perfectly masters its operating methods. This is not the case for companies who are discovering "Open Source". As a result, only a free project is likely to ensure true reversibility of the solution: the day the customer is no longer satisfied with his supplier, he has all the tools necessary to easily change it. Where vendors of “Open Source” solutions seek to reintroduce biases ensuring that their customers remain captive to a large extent, we strive to ensure that our customers are completely independent and willing to work with them. We do not rely on anything other than the quality of the services provided. References To know more True freedom Find out why we keep the promises of Free Software.
