Did you know that more than 70 % of European companies are now adopting open‑source solutions to improve their efficiency and IT security? The use of custom software development services has become strategic to stay competitive, reduce costs, and accelerate innovation. LINAGORA, a historic player in open‑source development, offers a complete support package to create, integrate, and maintain tailor‑made applications that match your specific needs.
Thanks to the expertise of our teams in technologies such as Java, Spring Boot, PHP, Symfony, Python, Vue JS, Angular and React, we turn your ideas into high‑performance, modular, and long‑lasting software while guaranteeing full independence from proprietary vendors.
What is open‑source software development?
Open‑source development is based on creating software whose source code is publicly accessible. This allows companies to customize the solution, adapt it to internal processes, and avoid vendor lock‑in.
In practice, open‑source development provides:
Transparency : every line of code can be audited and improved.
Open‑source community : contributions from a global community to fix bugs or add features.
- Flexibility : the ability to build custom modules on frameworks such as Spring Boot, Symfony, or Vue JS.
 - Cost efficiency : no license fees and optimisation of internal resources.
 
Aujourd’hui, les entreprises qui misent sur le développement open source bénéficient d’une meilleure agilité, d’une sécurité renforcée et d’une capacité à innover plus rapidement que celles qui restent sur des solutions propriétaires.
Main benefits of open‑source development services
Cost reduction and return on investment
Open‑source development eliminates the need for expensive licences and offers more predictable maintenance. With LINAGORA, your projects benefit from a modular approach that lets you deploy only the required features and extend the software over time.
Flexibility and customisation
Every business has its own functional requirements. Our teams use proven technologies such as Java and Spring Boot for the back‑end, and Vue JS, Angular, or React for the front‑end, to create applications that fit your processes perfectly. This flexibility is especially useful for:
Managing complex business workflows
Integrating with third‑party systems via RESTful or GraphQL APIs
- Developing responsive and accessible user interfaces
 
Security and transparency
Open‑source software is audited by the community and can undergo both automated and manual security testing. LINAGORA also follows best‑practice security measures, including:
Encryption of sensitive data
Continuous unit and integration testing
Rapid innovation and adoption of modern technologies
By using modern frameworks like Symfony, Spring Boot, and front‑end libraries such as React and Angular, we enable companies to benefit from scalable, modular architectures. This includes:
Micro‑services for distributed applications
Containerisation with Docker and lightweight orchestration
Continuous Delivery/Continuous Integration (CI/CD) for fast feature release
Community support and collaboration
Open‑source development is reinforced by international community participation, allowing you to:
Access proven libraries and modules
Quickly fix bugs thanks to community feedback
