open2space is a software development company specializing in web applications, and the technologies related to the web. We strive to deliver applications that meet the needs of our customers, at a reasonable price, while maintaining a friendly working relationship.

We have been working with the web since 1998, and have completed both large and small projects, for large and small customers. Our projects have included custom content management systems (CMS), simple newsletter type applications, inventory management, business centric job/project management tools, and custom reporting tools exporting to various formats.

One of our specialties is JavaScript, with experience in a number of modern frameworks such as Prototype.js and jQuery. For server side code, we typically make use of PHP and MySQL, but routinely utilize other languages and database servers such as Cold Fusion and Microsoft SQL Server. We are constantly looking for new and better ways to complete tasks, and consistently push the boundaries of what a "web page" means.

Most of our work is used internally by our customers. However, here are some links to samples of public work we have taken part in, or completed ourselves:

• Calgary Airport
• City of Airdrie
• Calgary Linux Users Group
• Scrap Breast Cancer

Our Services

We provide whatever services our customers may require. These services usually fall into specific areas:

Network Support

Developing web applications is not possible if the related servers are not operational. We often are asked to build the application from the ground up, including building and maintaining the related servers. As such we are also experienced with building and maintaining networks, network equipment, and network wiring.

Custom Coding

Building an application can be very simple or very complex. It all starts with an idea though. We work with our customers to understand the core idea, documenting as we go, wherever possible. Requirements gathering can be formal or informal, and is tailored to best match the customer's needs. We provide regular reporting as the project is being developed, and work closely with our customer when it comes time for testing, deployment, or training. All projects utilize version control and an issue tracking system so the customer is aware of all outstanding items, and can review changes to the application over time.
