Several free Node software products are available. These pre-developed solutions allow Partners to take advantage of others’ development work and lessons learned, so they are often more cost-effective than independently building a Node from scratch. Partners should be aware that even these solutions typically require some customization to work within an individual organization’s technology environment and infrastructure. Funding to support this work has been and continues to be made available through EPA’s Exchange Network Grant Program.

The following Node 2.0 products are available for download. Exchange Network Partners or vendors that have developed Node 2.0 products and would like to list them here should contact Greg McNelly at gmcnelly [at] ecos.org.
