Open Source ECM

Open Source Software is Good for You, Our Valued Customer

Open source software is used more widespread than closed source and we actively promote the creation of a community of users and developers of OpenWorkdesk. Therefore, we will get much more feedback that helps us to develop better software with more relevant features.

A Whole Community to Support You

Our forums are the first step in establishing this feedback channel. Furthermore, as a user of the commercial editions you will get a better quality of support since you not only rely on the expertise of the WeWebU staff but can use the knowledge of the whole community by browsing and posting in the forums.

Evaluation Without any Risk

The real benefit comes when you are in the evaluation phase of OpenWorkdesk. There is no risk associated with trying the software. Only a little pre-invest in terms of labor and time is needed. The OpenWorkdesk Community Edition is free and can be downloaded here! Over 3000 of your peers already did. Combine it e.g. with Alfresco ECM or any other CMIS-compliant ECM repository and you can start your evaluation or even set up a first project. By making available the source code we give you the chance to audit the software and verify our claims regarding security, adherence to standards, good programming practice and so forth. There is no buying a “pig in a poke”. Only if you are sure that OpenWorkdesk fits your needs and you want to run more advanced projects with higher demands on security and functionality you may consider either subscribing to OpenWorkdesk Pro Edition or licensing OpenWorkdesk Enterprise Edition. More information on the different editions is given here.

Gain Long-Term Security & Save Costs

But not only when evaluating and using OpenWorkdesk the open source model is beneficiary for you. Think long-term. Even in the very unlikely case that WeWebU disappears from the market or stops the further development of OpenWorkdesk you have the source code in your hands and can maintain your installation of OpenWorkdesk and even start new projects. That's long-term security! Finally it is proven that by using open source software you can reduce the total cost of ownership for your solution and generate overall savings.
