About Egressive

Egressive was founded in 1998 and is based in Christchurch, New Zealand. Egressive was among the first companies in NZ to offer commercial support for Linux and other open source software. Dave Lane, a software engineer and former Crown Research Institute scientist, started Egressive to meet the need for reliable, secure and cost-effective networked business IT infrastructure both in the Canterbury region and farther afield.

What We Do

In addition to its system support activities, Egressive's strong software engineering and business analysis capabilities allow it to address the full software development lifecycle (SDL): Egressive performs requirements analysis for business software applications, developing comprehensive "Use Case" software specifications; Egressive then implements - and subsequently supports - highly functional, secure, elegant, standards compliant web applications to meet those specifications, often leveraging the substantial pool of effective open source software tools and frameworks to speed implementation, gain functionality, and ensure security. Egressive hosts many of these web applications on its own high speed Linux server infrastructure located in a secure Christchurch facility.
