However, Contactivity does more...... We carry out Internet policy research projects, assist in articulating your Internet strategy and work together with your staff to identify the organizational changes that may be required to implement your Internet projects. Through our technology audits, we offer advice on how to optimize your Internet presence, even in countries with poorly developed Internet infrastructures. With our information audits, we can assist you in identifying your information assets and open up new sources of content for your Internet platform. We deliver web content according your specifications and can manage your web and email information services on your behalf.

Contactivity builds on modular, open source solutions where possible We are developing Internet tools using extensible, modular software architecture. This allows us to deliver Internet tools at very short notice and to jump-start the implementation of a project while the development process is still ongoing. Where possible we build our solutions on basis of open source software. Open source products, such as Linux, are controlled by communities of software programmers, rather than commercial enterprises. The resulting cost advantages of open source solutions mean that we can offer our products at affordable prices. Of course, if open source software is not an option for your organization, we can build a solution on your existing platform or help you to assess commercial alternatives.
