Development Plans
While most Xinet products have been designed with customization in mind, the availability and scope of potential integration with third-party products or other custom programming varies depending on the integration requirements. For example, if your development project entails accessing the server filesystem in a “Xinet-aware” fashion, it’s a much larger project than creating basket plug-ins, display customization, or database integration with Xinet WebNative Venture.

Please provide us with as much information as possible in this section of your application so we can determine the scope of your proposed project and evaluate its integration requirements.
