xsto.info , Spain
xsto.info owes its name to the business idea that united us in this project: access to information.
xsto.info is a company specializing in creating solutions based on FOSS technologies. We have acquired extensive experience in the management of Internet content, but not only. Throughout the five years we have assembled complex systems based on GNU/Linux, with innovative new developments. We have also focused on improving accessibility to the web (and other working environments), and of course we have not stopped thinking a single day about creating and providing new services on the Internet.
At xsto.info we have been working with eZ since the first day. Just from the beggining we started developing several projects based on eZ Publish, so much so that our first approach to eZ was with the latest 2.x versions. Since then we have been able to create many different solutions to our customers, from CMSs to applications based on eZ Components. We have also tried to bring our work to the development community and we have commited several contributions and developments we have made for our projects to http://ez.no.
