How workootam is different from open source?

Strictly speaking, open source is one type of licence for software. Since the product is built by a set of volunteers (developers), some times people mistake 'open source' to distributed development. Since it is done by volunteers at their own convenience and pace, meeting deadlines and assured post delivery support is a a major issue. Contrary to the open source kind of development teams, workootam is a set of  hand picked developers (referrals plus interview process), who are contractually bound to deliver stuff on time with the required quality. Workootam as a corporate entity is contractually bound to the customer and at the same time gets rid of the expensive top layer of the organization. When most of the organizations are trying to cut costs by reducing the lowest layer, workootam is all about reducing cost by working from locations of the contributors convenience or from low cost work centers and with a flat structure.
