After a ton of research, we’ve decided to use Zope as the application framework that will drive the future of DataSync Suite. Zope is a widely accepted standard in the open source world that has an army of developers working on improving it. It’s also extremely flexible, actually one of the most flexible application frameworks out there in our opinion.

Our internal guys have already started working on moving some of the portal over to Zope, and will be working on layering in the Integration Bus. Our transition to Zope will probably be done over the next few months gradually. However our move to Zope is an important strategic decision that will help us make DataSync Suite more flexible and robust. One of the biggest features we’re looking forward to utilizing is Zope’s plug in features. We want to make it extremely simple to add applications to the suite, and Zope allows us to do that.

If you’re interested in more about ongoing development of our suite, feel free to contact us.
