Cost Effective Web Development
"Want not, waste not" is a fitting maxim for the latest breed of Web2.0 application developers being called to meet fantastical expectations with slashed budgets. From vendor of dishwashers wanting a "quick forum community" to "party hard" accountants launching a photo gallery; all and sundry would love to have the latest must have module on their website whether they have a need for it or not.
Fortunately for software developers, many of these "must have add-ons" are ripe for cherry picking from the multitude of SaaS (Software as a Service) providers that exist online today. For instance our ByngGallery component running through our ByngControl content management framework can now tap into a free Flickr account saving our clients on development, training and storage. Another example might be shipping off customers to hosted forum software using our Single Sign-on connector in the BaseCode. All these tricks help us meet our goal of satisfying our clients' needs and budgets whilst maintaining a high service level.
