The NEPO team has been involved in open source since the late 90's and from that time has seen it as a growing trend within the enterprise software market. We truly believe that open source software will continue to gain significant momentum and will one day be common place for even the worlds largest companies. As we continue to move towards interoperability and application integration, customers of all sizes will expect systems to have the capacity to quickly and easily be molded to satisfy the unique needs of their business. In an increased effort to accommodate these demands, open source software will continue to flourish. Moreover, the days of paying excess fees for software features that are never implemented and/or used, will soon be well behind us. It is with this vision that NEPO Systems has sought to build a company, based on the foundation of open source, which will fundamentally change how our customers procure and use enterprise software systems.

Value of Open Source Software

• Open source software R&D carries very little overhead and can be deployed through a free, publicly available licensing agreement
• Because overhead is dramatically reduced, focus can be spent on target customizations which provide significant value to the end user.
• Open source software is developed and tested by tens of thousands of developers globally which allows for quick reaction to bug fixes and patches as well as expedited delivery of new releases and updates.
  
• Open source developers are driven by their passion for developing good, quality software, not by a paycheck.
  
• Open source software provides the ultimate in flexibility and control which enables organizations, and the OSS community alike, to focus on functionality that matters to end users, as opposed to products that are designed "in a vacuum".
