Company Profile

Tachometry is a software systems integrator in the San Francisco Bay Area. We have significant expertise with web-based application development, content management, accessibility, SEO, and much more. Our clients range from large Fortune 50 enterprises to small non-profit organizations across several market verticals. Each client has a unique set of requirements, yet all share a common objective to use the Internet to communicate and collaborate with their customers, members, partners and peers.

We offer our clients an innovative alternative to the traditional “build” vs. “buy” scenario. As open source specialists, we recommend a third approach ,"borrow", that leverages the very best the open source community has to offer, delivering significant custom business functionality with an affordable cost profile.

Open Source Philosophy

Successful growing businesses have begun to realize the benefits of custom software development to automate key processes and analyze large amounts of operational data. Historically this opportunity has been accessible only to very large enterprises. However, the cost of development continues to decrease as new tools and techniques emerge that accelerate the process. An open, collaborative development model known as Open Source is revolutionizing the way businesses approach technology. Open Source Software (OSS) represents a strategic opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SME) to deploy custom solutions without the costs typically associated with software development. It also provides substantial ROI opportunities for larger companies that have an internal IT development staff. Many of the underlying technology components required to build new applications are freely available as Open Source software. These elements can be used to build software that is tailored to meet the specific requirements of business – your business! To take advantage of the wealth of OSS products, savvy IT decision makers will seek a technology partner capable of integrating Open Source products with custom software components that can deliver real business value at an affordable cost.
