RE: [Openinteract-dev] a wise choice?

[<And...@Be...>]

Hi Ben,

maybe, this might smooth your worries:

I am working for a Bertelsmann Services company, and we are building custom
service solutions ( callcenters, logistics, etc ) for othe companies ( like
a major german airline, various banks, etc. )

We about a year ago we looked at all available perl web environments and did
not find anything, which met out goals ( and we looked at a lot, like Mason
etc. al ):
- OO desing
- MVS paradigm
- easy reuse
- installation framework
- able to do smaller apps in half a day
- integrate our LDAP directory for auth etc.

Right now we are running our intranet on OI ( with Linux and mysql/InnoDB
plus LDAP from a Netware cluster ) with currently about 500 users online
every day, who use real apps, like a trouble ticketing system, search
engines, file managing tools. The key point here was, to be able to build
interactive apps ( opposed to static pages ) within hours or days.
On the other end we are currently developing things like a customer ordering
system with credit card payment for a large mobile telephone company or a
desease management system for a public health care company.

Since I claim not to be mad, I know, what I do going this way ( well, at
least I am the responsible IT manager for this .. ).

Hope I could encourage you to use OI ! Otherwise, please ask me questions...

regards,

Andreas

Subject: [Openinteract-dev] a wise choice?

hi,   I work for a UK web-based charity, and am starting a new project
with
the government to design and develop a web-based system for companies to
get
their employees involved in local and national community volunteering
work. 
I'm looking for some kind of web services framework to handle security,
user
sessions, templating and separation of HTML from code logic. I'd much
rather
go open source, and OpenInteract looks ideal, but I need a system which
can
guarantee reliability and good uptime.

I notice that the docs section of the OI site,
http://www.openinteract.org/docs/guides seems to work intermittently,
and
not at all at the moment, which is a little worrying.

Does anyone have commercial experience of using OI to deploy critical
systems, and any good/bad news stories?


Cheers!  (colloq. UK english - means thanks :-)
