OSSCube: Building Smarter Solutions for Smart Customers Date:   Wednesday , October 15, 2014 When a leading worldwide news publication approached OSSCube to upgrade and manage their existing CRM subscription system, they had no way of knowing that their approach to doing business was about to transform. Presented with the challenge of modernizing an outdated and cumbersome subscription system, OSSCube took an entirely different approach- they started from scratch with an open source CRM solution created by SugarCRM. Excited about the challenge, OSSCube developers set to work creating a platform capable of effectively managing the publication\'s entire digital subscription bank. The final product used a fraction of the designated budget, and took just nine months. The result: decision-makers were so impressed with the flexibility and scalability provided by Sugar CRM that they replaced their legacy system- all for the quality delivered in just a short time working with the OSSCube team. If it wasn\'t already clear that open source is the way of the future, it should be now. With hundreds of successful projects and well-known clients, OSSCube is leading the movement, and proving itself along the way. Through the use of innovative technologies like big data & cloud platforms, OSSCube is bringing open source to the mainstream; using only best-of-breed software, and creating a reputation of excellence in the meantime. The Transformer -from Client to Superhero In today\'s market, customers are smart enough to understand the need to lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of their business tools; lengthy production cycles and high overhead costs are no longer an option. OSSCube upholds a strong commitment to increasing customer ROI by lowering TCO, and speeding up time to market. Through the use of expert developers and scalable resources, OSSCube helps boost productivity, while providing businesses with full control of the size and scope of their development team. What makes OSSCube a powerhouse in the open source space is their dedication to excellence in all aspects of business. From training and certification programs, to appraisals by organizations like the CMMiinstitute, OSSCube empowers its employees to steer customers in the right direction. After meticulously studying customer requirements, OSSCube developers set to work designing custom business solutions by using either the best commercial open source tools available or by engineering a solution from the ground up. \"Our entire value proposition is that when a customer chooses to work with us, we leave no stone unturned to make them look like a superhero by solving their critical business challenges,\" says Lavanya Rastogi, CEO, OSSCube. These relationships aren\'t strictly business: OSSCube nurtures long-term partnerships with its clients and technology providers, creating a network of experts and experienced users that help contribute to the growth of the open source community. As one of the few companies that take its partnerships beyond that of revenue-generation, OSSCube leverages expertise from all angles to ensure they are delivering the biggest and best solutions possible. Globally distributed capabilities (Headquarters and centralized project management in the US, global delivery center in India, and a data CoE in UK) allows development and business teams to leverage diverse knowledge and experience to support customers internationally. \"Having so many locations enables us to think globally and provide our customers with new ways of approaching their problems,\" adds Lavanya. \"We believe in giving back to the community that supports our business. We make sure to consistently build new products, available to users across the world\". Building Future Leaders OSSCube believes that employees are the most valuable asset to any company, and invests heavily in honing the technical and social capabilities of their staff. With rigorous training programs, strict certification guidelines, and constant evaluation, OSSCube employees are some of the most technically adept in the industry. As far as employee growth is concerned; nearly 70 percent of people in leadership positions have been promoted internally. But it\'s not all hard work; OSSCube offices are packed with creative spaces, social groups, sports leagues, and frequent group activities, meant to keep the workplace environment as fun and inspiring as it is stringent. What\'s Next Named one of America\'s fastest growing privately-held companies in 2014 by Inc. Magazine and named in the top 100 Best Places to Work in India, OSSCube has been moving at lightning speed, and there is no sign of slowing down. Aiming to be a catalyst of the open source movement-focusing on global adoption-It\'s no stretch of the imagination to think that this company will be leading the enterprise solution market sooner rather than later. The company is rapidly expanding its reach around the globe, and we can\'t wait to see where all of this success will take them.
