ZCOCO
ZCOCO is a community for corporations that provide open source software services. We believe that ZCOCO both gives the open source developers an opportunity to benefit from their talent and work, and also allows companies that use open source software in their products to easily access the best Open Source software talent in the world.
What makes ZCOCO different?
The open source way of working: Nomovok Ltd. has internally used ZCOCO approach for seven years, and in more than 400 projects. Through this experience our team has learned how to manage commercial projects in an open source way. As a result, working in distributed organisation, including experts in far-away countries, is business as usual for us.
In-depth understanding of open source community: after extensive experience of working with various open source projects, our team has gained a deep understanding of the open source community mindset. This enables us to create solutions that are acceptable for open source community, and will be maintained by it.
Knowing who is who in open source world: our team has an extensive network in open source community. This makes it easy for us to find the best developers for any given open source technology.
What is the benefit of ZCOCO for me?
Project success as result of using the best talent:
- without good contact network and deep understanding of open source community it is very difficult to find the best open source developers
- without proven distributed organisation model it is either impossible to use open source developers, when they are not willing to relocate, or it can be cost-prohibitive due to relocation costs
Lower maintenance costs coming from co-operation with the open source community
- a project can be planned from beginning so that it is in-line with open source community drivers. This naturally makes it easier for the community to accept the maintenance responsibility.
How does it work?
All the partners work equally through ZCOCO, all partners can be managed and benchmarked in a similar way. All the companies can work individually or together. ZCOCO as the tool is a multi-company platform for distributed supplier and partner management. It connects projects and experts, globally.
