Open Source Wiki SaaS Software

Open source forums are always active with discussions about SaaS software. As open source has gained a better reputation over time more and more individuals and businesses have started to take this under-appreciated software seriously.

In the beginning open source was distrusted because it was usually free and developed by a collaborative effort rather having a single designer. Perhaps it was also because it didn’t have a company representing it to the public. Those who did see the potential however, have made wiki and open source both household names. Still, much of the open source wiki software still lacks a good reputation as far as standardization and enterprise applications are concerned.

Some open source wiki apps could change the minds of nay-sayers however as these not only have broad mobile application, but also security features allowing for the sharing of information with less risk of hacking or snooping.

Some popular SaaS software that’s open source allows for a project development space, document management system, or groupware tool to run via the internet or through an intranet. In this space content is created by a group working collaboratively using only a browser. For those working on a project in this space it would be possible to work with team members who didn’t have programming skills, but through the software could help create applications and offer input to developers.

Another open source wiki sourced favorite is suited to enterprise needs as it allows for import/export of documents and still offers the usual collaboration for web applications. It also offers security that’s acceptable by business standards.

Open source is becoming an element that businesses can no longer ignore giving it’s abilities and affordability so more favorites are sure to be developed soon.
