What is a technology cooperative?

A technology cooperative, like any technology company, offers IT solutions to other organizations, companies or individuals. But then, what makes the difference with a traditional technology company? Cooperatives are people-centered enterprises owned, controlled and run by and for their members to realize their common economic, social, and cultural needs and aspirations. At Jamgo we are technology professionals who find in cooperativism a way to earn a living without putting our knowledge at the service of companies far from our values. The cooperative formula allows us to make decisions together, define our own objectives in accordance with our values, treat everyone fairly, collaborate and cooperate with others

What is free software?

Free software is software that can be used, studied, and modified without restriction, and that can be copied and redistributed in either a modified or unmodified version without restriction, or with minimal restrictions to ensure that future recipients will also have these rights.

We work with free software technologies that promote the creation of collective projects and avoid proprietary licenses that only benefit a few. For Jamgo this is our way to build together a more fair, accessible, horizontal and free technology, at the service of society.

What do we do in Jamgo?

  • We use free software
  • We opt for open standards
  • We work with open licenses

How can I know the price of a project (web, app, custom software)?

To estimate the price of a web project, a series of considerations must be taken into account:

  • Domain and hosting: Register a domain name and a place to host the web.
  • Design and programming: The appearance of the web is very important and is what makes the user’s browsing experience pleasant. Here you can consider buying a ready-made template (which can lower the cost of the project), or have a custom design and programming based on the requirements of the web. The more complex, the higher the cost.
  • Plugins: Premium plugins offer advanced features for a fraction of the cost of programming this functionality from scratch. Although we do not recommend using many plugins on the same website (they can affect the performance of the site), it is true that using them can make the cost of your project much more sustainable.
  • Ecommerce: Functions such as product management, stock control, POS gateway, order tracking, etc. make a project with these characteristics have a higher price.
  • Maintenance: A security problem can make you lose control of your website and damage the reputation of your business or organization. At Jamgo we always offer our clients a maintenance service to avoid security problems.

What information is necessary to request a quote?

Part of the difficulty in calculating a budget is given by the fact that the work behind the development of a web project, app or custom software is often unknown. For example, details such as whether there will be a login, if a payment gateway is needed, in which operating systems it will have to be developed or if the project needs a custom backoffice to manage the data are aspects that must be taken into account at the moment to assess a budget. At Jamgo we work together with our clients to help them in all phases of the project so that they can understand their technological challenges and can clearly assess what it means to develop it.

What is Jamgo framework?

At Jamgo we have been working for some time on our own Open Source Framework based on Vaadin and Spring: the Jamgo Framework. This framework is very useful for backoffice or management area projects. The Jamgo Framework allows us not to have to start each new project of this type from scratch. In this way,  we can show the client a functional web tool in a short time. Thanks to customer feedback and the new technologies that we are learning, the framework is a long-term project in Jamgo.

What is La comunal?

La Comunal is a cooperative cultural project formed by eight Social and Solidarity Economy projects: Lacol, La Ciudad Invisible, la Directa, Aula de Idiomes, Quesoni, Irídia, Deskomunal and Jamgo. For us, a shared headquarters with other entities is an opportunity to pool services and collaborate more closely with other cooperatives in order to promote our transformative practices.
