San Jose, CA — (press release) — ITsquare.com today announced the launch of Linux Square, a new service that provides access to scores of established Linux development firms. Through use of a web-based framework, clients are able to securely and efficiently procure the development of Linux applications.

Harvi Sachar, CEO of ITsquare.com said “the open source revolution opened everyone's eyes to the advantages of Linux over existing platforms and technologies. Except it's been difficult for corporations to migrate to Linux because serious, reliable Linux development firms aren't always easy to find. What we've created is a tool to identify, evaluate, and engage these firms, which is how Linux Square provides real value.”

Linux Square helps clients navigate their way through the development process by providing expert advice and sophisticated resources from the start. Features include project management tools, collaboration tools for improved communication, and a customized Request For Proposal so clients can easily define their Linux initiatives. This architecture, complemented by continuous professional support, is intended to make the transition to Linux a practical and reliable option.

“The Linux industry owes much of its success to the hackers and freelancers who contributed to the kernel. Now, though, the industry needs to transcend this phase in order to grow. This means clients must be able to connect and collaborate with Linux development firms that are in tune with their mission-critical initiatives. That's what we do,” said Sachar.
