Sensio Labs, French interactive agency specialising in Open-Source technology, and creator of the Symfony PHP framework, announces the opening of its new office in San Francisco.
As founders of the Symfony Open-Source PHP framework, Sensio Labs is a dynamic and innovative company, specialising in providing advice on internet strategy and creating and developing Web applications within the Open-Source environment.
The Sensio Labs San Francisco office will offer a wide range of value-added services (consultation, training, expertise, development, documentation, etc) based around Sympfony. Symfony is the most professionalised Open-Source PHP framework on the market. Created by professionals for professionals, the framework is fully documented and supported by a large community.
A location in San Francisco and the Silicon Valley was a natural choice for Sensio Labs to put them right at the cutting edge of technological advances. This new office will be directed by Symfony expert Dustin Whittle, who was one of the original core team members. Before leading the San Francisco office, he was Yahoo!’s technology evangelist.
As an active contributor to the Open-source Ecosystem, Dustin’s aim will be to spread Sensio Labs’ expertise and Symfony’s high added value, right across America. “After years of collaborating with Sensio at Yahoo, I am excited to partner with Sensio Labs to launch Symfony consulting and training services to the Americas.” adds Dustin Whittle.
Sensio Labs invests over 20% of its turnover into R&D for developing its Open-Source solutions. By moving into San Francisco, Sensio Labs is continuing with its strategy to develop and position itself as an unbeatable player in creating and developing company Web applications. This move strengthens the company’s presence within its community.
The official opening takes place today, to coincide with the launch of the first Symfony Live San Francisco: a unique event enabling the community to meet, discuss and bounce off ideas concerning the PHP framework (www.symfony-live.com).
