Originally part of EBM Websourcing, our team is now leading LINAGORA Research Labs since mid-2012 merging. With a strong experience in research and innovation, we contribute to several French and European projects, while building trust relationships with dozens of industrials, research laboratories and universities. This ensures us the best possible vision of market trends and nascent technologies.
As of now (2013 September), we lead or contribute in the following projects: Choreos, Play, Contrail, OpenPaaS, gSafe, OpenCloudware.

Objectives

We historically focused on fields pertaining large-scale infrastructure management, among which Services Oriented Architectures, Business Process Modeling, distributed systems... Having become LINAGORA's research department, we expand our scope to include hot topics related to LINAGORA products, such as the collaborative platform OBM or the sharing tool LinShare. As such, we acquired the lead on several leading research projects ordered by French research institutions, such as OpenPaaS or gSafe, and several others on their way.

Today, 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.

Strategy

To maximise the innovation in the minimum of time and resources, we build our activity by combining three core ideas:

  • get a strong core team: we hire PhD (achieved or ongoing) specialized in our core fields, to make the link between research projects and products.
  • know your limits: one can not know all. That's why we built a strong partnership politics, with nearly a hundred partners.
  • don't reinvent the wheel: following a long-term vision, we make links between research projects to reuse previous project's ideas and code.

Values

From the beginning, we have the conviction that open source is the best way to build software, benefitting not only users, but also its developers! As such, we always push open source distribution politics in our projects.
Moreover, all the code we produce is open source (mainly LGPL, some Eclipse or AGPL), for you to browse, test and reuse (in which case some thanks/feedback will always be appreciated. ).
