Open source refers to a program or software in which the source code is available to the general public from its original design free of charge. Ixis worked exclusively in Drupal for a number of years, becoming the UK’s leading dedicated agency. When we had honed our skills in Drupal to perfection and built one of the most diverse portfolios in the UK, ranging from enterprises to local government and third sector organisations, we expanded our expertise to include other open source platforms. This means that we can offer our services to an even wider range of businesses.
By choosing an open source product such as Drupal, Wordpress or Magento, it means your budget will be spent on functionality and features rather than recurring licensing costs. With communities full of passionate developers, designers, trainers, strategists, coordinators, editors, and sponsors working together there are thousands of eyes on the code, keeping it secure and up to date.

Many utility sector organisations turned to technology long ago to better understand how their process, systems and overall businesses were doing. Organisations working within the renewable energy industry are constantly striving to provide a better product and service than their fossil-fuelled counterparts, water and wastewater services have a number of different variables that they are reliant on technology to provide them with the correct information and what all the different industries within the utility sector have in common is the need to provide a better service for their customers as they compete for their market share in this trillion pound sector.
Open source software has long since become the chosen source of technology for many of the worlds largest companies within the utility sector such as Uniper and EDF energy. Companies that have chosen to adopt open source software early have benefitted from the faster rate of development open source offers as opposed to traditional proprietary software systems. Open source software also offers reduced licensing costs, in some cases no license costs whatsoever, helping to keep costs down and allowing you to reinvest that money elsewhere into your project allowing for an even better end product.
So whether it is a user-friendly portal for your customers or a system that allows for your engineers to quickly and efficiently report faults enabling you to stay ahead of your competition and provide the best product imaginable for your customer's open source and Ixis can provide the solution for you.
