The Open Source Philosophy

The OBSS team, as the name implies, embraces the open source philosophy. With our award winning application Turquaz financial accounting - over 10000 monthly downloads- and GrayMound J2EE Middleware - used by large corporations like Yapi Kredi Sigorta, Istanbul Büyüksehir Belediyesi and Calikbank - we invest heaviliy in the open source community.

What does it mean for Turquaz and GrayMound to be open source projects? Basicly that their source code can be tracked and contributed to online.By broadcasting the source code of its products through the internet, OBSS makes three promises:

We will always deliver the best-quality services related to our products. If we don’t, our customers are always are entitled to receive these services from other service providers because the source code is open.

All OBSS products are developed using standardization tools that make the code easily editable with basic software engineering skills.

Unlike proprietary software users, corporations using OBSS applications are not dependant on any software vendor for the management of their critical operations. Our products will always be up to date with the latest technologies because the code is constantly reviewed, enhanced and then shared again.We believe in the engineering quality of our products so we want everyone to have access down to the finest detail.
