Pricing Reflects Collaborative Emphasis

Our low prices are because it is expected that customers be involved in the community and software evolution of the products. This means contributing back enhancements you make to the product. You benefit because other community members will peer review and, and it becomes part of the release product and the community continues to improve the ideas over time. Contributing users are rewarded as well as they receive major upgrades at no charge.

Our emphasis is building our products on open standards; and in fact our offering source code reflects our commitment to giving our customers an open solution. Jcorporate uses is own collaborative products to create an shared source infrastructure for networking its customers and and support staff. Our collaborative community illustrates this new business pattern – the seamless alliance of businesses best able to profitably satisfy the shared set of needs and wants of a virtual customer community. Enhancements can be more rapidly incorporated and redeployed to the user community, resulting in a significant reduction in overhead costs to the end user.

Community source is fundamentally about sharing best practices and building on existing work, it is a great foundation enabling enterprises to take advantage of the web technology revolution. Any improvements made by individual developers are encouraged to be sent back to the code repository in order to increase their chances of being included in the next release - and thus directly supported by the community. These ideas and contributions in turn continue to rapidly improve when used by the community of users - and in turn is the primary advantage of collaborative development. The feedback loop between user requirements and programmer delivery is then dramatically shortened for faster response to today's accelerated time-to-market imperative. The end result is it can evolve at an incredible pace than that possible by traditional closed development methods.

The value of the web is effective dissemination of information of disparate systems as well as the exponential value of networking a community of participants. Hence by leveraging the global reach of the web the model of open source is based on "network economics" - that is, the benefits that accrue to users/developers increase as the number of users/developers increases.
