It is a good time to own a company that builds software and services based on open source technology.  Virtual Strategy Magazine reports that “Achieve Internet Brings Open-Source Enterprise Web Development to LA with New Office.”  Back in the day, many corporate companies and IT professionals fought tooth and nail about open source technology’s configurability to enterprise platforms.  Achieve Internet is a company built entirely around that concept.  It provides southern California with leading Drupal enterprise solutions.  Due to high demand the company has been able to grow:

The explosive growth of the open-source Web infrastructure, Drupal, has resulted in a shortage of enterprise-level Drupal engineers and consultants in the region. Achieve Internet aims to fill that void and already supports many of the area’s top companies deploying open-source software.  ‘As the media and publishing industries in Southern California are increasingly evaluating and adopting the Drupal platform, the timing is right for us to expand to LA,’ said Ron Huber, president, Achieve Internet.

Drupal is a flexible and powerful open source platform that can be built to cater to most enterprise needs.  Like most open source technology it is not weighed down by a software licenses and is easy to configure.  LucidWorks is also built on open source platform Apache Lucene and provides users with a robust Big Data and Cloud search.
