What we do for you
Detailed. Customized. Cooperative.
Consulting
To develop a tailor-made community platform for you, we work with you to determine what your community solution must be able to do.
Which functions do you need? Which existing systems need to be integrated? Who are the main users? What must be taken into account in architecture? Which infrastructure is recommended? What does rights management look like? We are at your disposal for all questions and determine the "best case" for you.
Efficient. Experienced. Precise.
Implementation
The need is determined, the prerequisites are clarified, now follows the implementation.
Thanks to our many years of technical project experience, we will implement your wishes, together with you, efficiently and perfectly planned. We take responsibility for everything from programming and project management to the coordination of external service providers.
Modular. Multifunctional. Flexible.
Setup
Open Social is the starting point for your own community platform. The "Premium" version is our entry-level solution and the most cost-effective variant, a community solution.
Open Social lives through its modular structure, flexible configuration and the possibility to add further functions with the help of more than 10,000 available modules. If there is not yet a required functionality among the available modules, we will program this function individually for you.
Individually. In-house. Practice oriented.
Training
Whether community moderator or administrator: Together we develop "best practice" solutions to make the use of the system as easy as possible for you.
National. International. Highly available.
Hosting
Your community can run on our servers, your own servers or on servers of our hosting partners. Our servers and the servers of our hosting partners are usually located in Germany, but at least in the EU. If you want to run a global community and need servers outside the EU for performance reasons, we can make this possible for you. In addition, we have experience with hosting in China (mainland).
Personal. Reliable. In time.
Maintenance & Support
We are always here for you. Because for us, the project does not stop with the completion. We support you during the complete life cycle of your community solution or your website.
