The ISI Platform combines robust server architecture with a diverse library of open-source software components that provide the security, stability and scalability common to all Intertwine Systems solutions.
By leveraging the flexibility of the ISI Platform, Intertwine can develop, host and manage powerful web applications that cost less and can be completed more rapidly than many customized software solutions.
Your web applications, when powered by the ISI Platform, will gain features that are critical to any successful SaaS (software as a service) deployment:
Software as a service (SaaS) is a software application delivery model where a software vendor develops a web-native software application and hosts and operates (either independently or through a third-party) the application for use by its customers over the Internet.

The term SaaS has become the industry-preferred term, generally replacing the earlier terms Application Service Provider (ASP), On-Demand and "Utility computing".
Open source software (OSS) is computer software which source code is available under a license that permits users to use, change, and improve the software, and to redistribute it in modified or unmodified form. It is often developed in a public, collaborative manner. Intertwine Systems promotes the use of open source software, and ISI solutions are typically built to work with common OSS tools including:
