Kabira Chooses Exadel for Open Source Expertise; Leader in High-Speed Switching Software Taps Exadel for Development Boost and Professional Services

Posted on: Wednesday, 7 December 2005, 09:00 CST

Exadel, Inc., a leading provider of software, services and support that enable companies to create mission-critical business applications based on open source and Java(TM) technologies, today announced that Kabira Technologies has chosen Exadel's Development Boost and Professional Services for an important new product development project.

Kabira initially sought help with planning for building an advanced, user-friendly interface for Kabira's development environment. To achieve its goals, Kabira required an experienced team with a strong understanding of open source and the Eclipse platform to guide them through the process. Kabira also preferred a vendor that could help lower the project's total cost of development.

"We selected Exadel for its proven open source and Java expertise as well as its unique offshore development model, in which the company manages major project work overseas from its domestic Bay Area headquarters," said Dirk Epperson, co-founder and vice president of product strategy, Kabira Technologies. "Through their onsite Development Boost and continuing professional services, we anticipate much lower development costs and a more advanced product interface than could have been otherwise achieved."

Offering its combination of onsite support services and deep open source expertise, Exadel will help Kabira bypass the steep learning curve associated with open source development and the Eclipse framework. Additionally, Kabira will tap into Exadel's offshore development team to help achieve project timeline and cost goals. Exadel's unique project management model allows local control and project visibility which maximizes the productivity and cost benefits of outsourced development.

"Like many of our enterprise customers, Kabira recognized the quality and cost advantages of open source application development," said Fima Katz, founder and CEO of Exadel, Inc. "However, continued evolution and adoption of open source doesn't eliminate the problems associated with integration, lack of expertise or limited commercial support. Exadel's technical expertise and long track record of delivering quality open source solutions helps these companies bridge the gap between open source, commercial and proprietary components."
