openQRM is lean and extendible
One of the main concepts of openQRM is keeping complex datacenter management systems as simple as possible. Therefore, the openQRM base system is kept very lean and small. Optional features, integration with virtually any other systems or workflows can easily be added to the core system by using the provided openQRM Plugins. The API is documented and it is very straight-forward to write your own plugins, as well.
