Benefits
Open Source Software (OSS) is free to use with all future updates and upgrades also freely available.
CustomisationIf your business requires further features within a certain OSS product, it can either participate in the community to ensure these features are included in the next release or change the application for its own internal use.
Extended Hardware LifeOSS is more efficient so there is no need to keep changing hardware each time a new version of software is released.
LegalBusinesses no longer have the legal overhead of ensuring they have purchased the sufficient number of licenses.
Open StandardsData standards are open so your business is not locking its data into a single commercial company.
QualityOSS has been developed, reviewed and tested by many thousands of people so the end product is reliably, secure and functional.
SecurityOSS is very secure so businesses have to worry less about viruses and attacks.
Try Before You CommitAs OSS is free, the software is available to be evaluated within your business at no cost. Therefore, if a certain product does not meet your requirements, your business will not have committed any funds to this evaluation.
