Open Source

We consider open source an important part of IT development. Not only, therefore, do we use open-source technologies in our customer projects, but we also actively participate in open-source ventures and release our own code to the open-source community.

inovex is committed to the open-source concept, which gives everyone free access to collaboratively developed software. Using open-source software (OSS) frees us from provider constraints and fosters our connection to an innovative and motivated community.

In about ninety percent of inovex projects, we use open-source software across our entire technological stack. This is a decision which is particularly beneficial to our customers. It enables us to carry out their projects in an open environment that avoids vendor lock-in and is constantly evolving through the active participation of the community.

Independent of the requirements of our customers, however, we as a company feel a connection to the open-source idea.

Open-Source Collaboration at inovex

We consider ourselves an active part of the open-source community. A large number of our employees work on open-source projects – both their own and inovex-funded – and contribute new features, bug fixes, and community support to the creation of new software.

Our customers also benefit from our expertise in dealing with OSS and the community. We offer consulting specifically on the use and development of open-source software.
