Open Source Solution Offerings

From MIKE2 Methodology

MIKE2.0 Open Source Solution Offerings are used to implement solutions to information management problems, solely through the use of Open Source technologies. The goal of MIKE2.0 is to become an organising framework for the use of Open Source in the Information Management space.

The MIKE2.0 Methodology plans to evolve to include:

• An Open Source Maturity Model, using Technology Selection QuickScan as a starting point
• A definition of an Open Source version of the SAFE Architecture bringing together multiple Open Source components
• Open Sourcing of some of MIKE2.0 Tools, such as IM QuickScan
• Assessments of Open Source Data Management projects from communities such as SourceForge and Eclipse
• Detailed design and code Supporting Assets that are all Open Source
• Drive development of new Open Source technologies in the data management space, through the through end-to-end lifecycle of creating these products.
• An Open Source Collaboration Forum to harness ideas about realising the open source value proposition across industries.

Advanced Collaboration for MIKE2.0

All aspects of the MIKE2.0 Methodology itself are built from Open Source technologies, from the overall content management system, to the wiki, the hosting platform, even images and development tools. Using MIKE2.0, we are building a complete Open Source environment for architecting, designing, delivery and collaborating on Open Source projects.

Approach

Building the advanced collaboration platform for MIKE2.0 led to the development of the Enterprise 2.0 Solution. Over a period of 18 months we have built an Integrated Content Repository that links private, company internal assets and solutions into the open source information management framework of MIKE2.0.

Technology

MIKE2.0 is hosted on omCollab, an advanced collaboration platform that integrates a wiki, blogs, social bookmarking and search into a single, integrated solution. All software assets of omCollab are open source and available for download.
