At Fueled Media, we believe in a functional
website. For many developers, the application
of this belief ends with
standard customer features and e-commerce.
But, online technology is certainly capable
of many more benefits for your business.
That is where we come in.
We will work with you to determine ways
that your site can increase your efficiency,
decrease overhead and improve your bottom
line. From intranets, extranets, project
management software, customer management
software, shipment management and inventory
tracking to custom cell-phone enabled
contact databases and field sales tools,
our programmers can take your business
to the next level.

Open-Source Customization
There is a large variety of open-source
free solutions available on the net. The
numbers grow every day. Unfortunately,
open-source software is not "plug
and play" software.
The Problem with Open-Source
Compatability:
Open-source software is usually built
with a certain configuration in mind.
Often, it will not work with other applications
without extensive work.
Support:
Since this software is free, there is
often limited support and documentation
available. Many times, the support cost
will add up to hefty fees.
Installation:
Installation of most open-source products
leaves many average users frustrated at
best.
Configuration:
If you are able to successfully install
the software, configuration to fit your
needs usually requires changes to the
actual code.
Features:
Almost all open-source software is in
continual development. Because of this,
releases of the software may have bugs
in functionality or in-complete features.
Warranty:
All open-source software is accompanied
by a denial of any warranty, express or
implied of its usefulness for any purpose.
With these problems, you can see that
it might appear that open-source products
are not a good solution, but they also
have many benefits.
Benefits of Open-Source
Cost:
Open-Source solutions are usually absolutely
free as distributed.
Features:
Because this software is under constant
development by an active community of
users, it is often possible to request
a new feature or changes in the product
(at no cost). Try that with a commercial
product!
Updates and Upgrades: The software will
remain free through all updates, and so
it continually grows with no cost to the
user.
Quality
and Security: With commercial
software, you are relying on one company
to provide the assurance that a software
solution is secure, and is coded with
standards in mind. Open-source software
is developed by cooperation of bright
people all over the world. It is continually
tested and improved by users and programmers
alike, and any problems are quickly noted
and solved.
Customization: Because this software is open source,
you can take it as it is or modify it
to fit your business. Several open-source
products can even be combined to form
a new more powerful solution. There is
no limitation to the customization that
can be applied.
At Fueled Media, our programmers and
technicians effectively erase all of the
problems with open-source software, so
that your business realizes the greatest
benefit. We have extensive knowledge installing,
configuring and customizing open-source
software.
