Benefits
100% Open Source Project

Focused on Higher Education
Highly Extensible
Community Resources and Support
In addition to robust functionality and advanced technology, many community resources are available through the Jasig community of expert portal developers and enthusiasts. The Jasig community includes many benefits such as free access to maintenance releases, bug fixes, security notifications, and documentation. Jasig hosts many opportunities for users to join community calls, demonstrations, and roadmaps giving the community a chance to gather together and share ideas. While there are many free resources, paid support, custom development and training are available through commercial partners.
