openTrends can provide tailor-made applications for the needs of its clients that cannot be covered using existing open source software solutions. For this purpose, it has the methodology and the profiles and certifications required to conduct successful developments in J2EE, PHP, Python and .Net.

The differentiating factors of the openTrends development projects include:

• RUP-Agile development methodology,

• Applying the iterative focus of phases and task parallelization.
• Standardizing the design process (UML), without adding unnecessary complexity or documenting aspects that are not necessary for understanding.

• Intensive use of standards
• Development on frameworks and reuse of modules from the open source software communities, enabling us to start with code and tools that have already been tested.
• Methodology based on code and library management (CVS and Maven)
• Management methodology for code quality (Junit)
• Comprehensive management of all project components, documentation, trackers, online help and executable files using a Forge tool (openForge).

In all development projects, openTrends allows clients to access its intranet (openForge) where they can find all the project components, track the progress of the project online, report bugs and queries and make new requests.
