In the world of e-commerce systems, technological decisions have consequences that last for years. They affect costs, development speed, data security, and the ability to respond to market changes. When building AMPER B2C, we were faced with a choice: to create a closed or open solution.
We chose open-source.
Not because it is popular.
Because it is fair, secure, and beneficial to our customers in the long term.
Transparency instead of promises
In a closed model, the customer has to take the supplier’s word for it. In open-source, everything is visible:
- how the system works
- the quality of the architecture
- the pace of development
- the history of changes
- the direction of the roadmap
No need to guess. No need to trust sales presentations. You can check it out.
We wanted the customer to be in control
We believe that the sales system is one of the most important elements of a company. That is why the customer should:
- have access to technology
- be able to develop their own competencies
- decide who to work with
- plan for the future without fear of license lock-in
Open source puts control where it should be – with the organization that invests in development.
We believe in a mature market
More and more organizations understand that true advantage does not come from hiding technology. It comes from:
- the ability to use it
- speed of action
- quality of processes
- team knowledge
AMPER B2C open-source perfectly supports this way of thinking.
