From the outset Linagora has endeavoured to be an innovative open source vendor. It is for this reason that Petals Link invests heavily in research so that it is able to offer the best possible technology for SOA and Cloud.

We continually seek to improve flexibility, agility and interoperability of our solutions and our on-going research is conducted in the following areas:

• Open source infrastructure for SOA in the cloud: interoperability and scalability across inter-organizational networks.
• Business process modelling: BPM, model transformation, orchestration and choreography.
• Collaborative engineering: ontology and semantic services, intelligent processing and collaborative development.

Our R&D initiatives with academic research laboratories and business partners ensure we have the best possible vision of market trends and nascent technologies.

Petals Link is involved in several leading research projects, supported by French governement and European Union agencies as well as key research projects with private and public partners. Petals Link is also active in several international open-source bodies, such as OW2 (formerly ObjectWeb) where our technologies (Petals ESB, Master) are maintained and source code publicly available.

This vision, experience and presence allows us to deliver innovation in SOA and Cloud computing, we are able to achieve our goal of providing the most capable and feature-rich solutions for modelling, orchestration and execution of business processes.
