Open Source Technologies^®we have expertise with:

Besides being a ForgeRock partner and an integrator of ForgRock IAM, which is also the only commercial open source identity platform, Icon Technical Group provides all other solutions also based on proven open source technologies that keep development costs low, have a sizeable community support, are performant, responsive and stable.

Open source also provides other key advantages such as being secure, customizable, flexible and interoperable. All these advantages are a perfect illustration of what's known as "Linus' Law," named for Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux. According to that maxim, "Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow." What that means is that the more people who can see and test a set of code, the more likely any flaws will be caught and fixed quickly. It's essentially the polar opposite of the "security through obscurity" argument used so often to justify the use of expensive proprietary products, in other words. Last but not the least, elimination of licensing fees and end to dependency on a specific vendor gives the customer the freedom from proprietary lock-ins.
