Bring the power of the open source development model to your love life, with xHarmony.
Norfolk-based xTuple, maker of acclaimed business software, is directing its talent for creative disruption to the online dating market with the release of xHarmony, a new matchmaking service based on an open-source model. xHarmony, written in the Qt development environment and running on top of a PostgreSQL database, combines proven models for online matchmaking with an open and collaborative development approach that delivers a greater return on your dating investment and lower total cost of courtship.
"In today's competitive dating market, a tool like xHarmony can provide daters with just the edge they need. Whether you plan to date only a few people, or even a really large number, we help streamline the process and keep costs down," said xTuple CEO Ned Lilly. "I'm confident that our users will find matches more quickly, and, if they choose to pursue the ultimate union, xHarmony includes MRP (Marital Resource Planning) tools that rival those of much bigger companies. I'd use xHarmony myself, if I weren't already married," said Lilly.
The core of the xHarmony system is the screening process. New daters fill out a questionnaire, called a BOM (Best Of Me) report. The BOM is used to construct a profile on the system. This profile is then matched with the profiles of potential mates via a complex and mysterious process. The results are returned to the user in a BOO (Best Of Others) report, allowing the dater to inspect and select potential mates to proceed to the next step. Together the BOM and the BOO are used to construct a finished relationship product.
Early pilot testing of the xHarmony system resulted in a remarkably high success rate for both casual relationship seekers and those in search of life mates. xTuple is confident that it can work for you too. In fact, we're convinced there's not a better ERP (Extended Relationship Planning) product on the market for any price. So if you're looking for a lifetime of happiness, sign up today: xHarmony can help!
