Software Infrastructure
Saturday, February 2nd, 2008Binary Culture’s mission to facilitate excellence in digital media development must include a focus on infrastructure and within that broad term, I see a very real need to develop a easy-to-run package of that core software infrastructure necessary for a modern content business. Email, IM, Wiki, Shared Calendar, Task Tracking; the software that enables a shared knowledge space and keeps everyone in a group working toward the same goal.
From our previous analysis we know that existing groupware products do not solve these problems in a best-of-breed manner that provides the customisable, flexible and cross-platform manner that is required. So we will instead create a bundle of cheap, easy-to-use software that we can make available to the community and stand behind as a reliable production-ready system.
