About us

Alkacon Software's focus area is to provide back - end support and outsourcing services for OpenCms projects, as well as add-on products for OpenCms. Our experienced staff is fully dedicated on developing first class technical solutions extending OpenCms. We often partner with business consultants, interactive agencies or in-house development teams to deliver a full solution to the end customer.

The company has been founded by Alexander Kandzior, the inventor, main architect and developer of OpenCms. The company is located in Cologne, Germany.

Open Source systems like OpenCms have become a key factor to deflate the software licensing costs traditionally required in web and IT projects. The use of Open Source software can lead to major cost savings in licensing, owing and supporting costs. Alkacon Software is specialized in developing solutions using OpenCms and other Java Open Source components. Java is today the enterprise application development environment of choice, and has also attracted a large Open Source community. Using high quality open source Java components like OpenCms provides an appealing cost-saving opportunity.
