Groupware is also preparing to release its in-house issue tracking and project management software iTrack as an open source project.

"iTrack is in alpha release and should be finalized next quarter," Brasacchio said, adding it is similar to the open source Trac from Edgewall software.

"At the time we developed iTrack, Trac was in the same infancy but what helped us along was clients were already using it. Its main focus is to allow us to manage issues and collaborate centrally. Our aim wasn't to develop our own version of Trac."

A number of Victorian government departments are also using iTrack in production.
