Open Source

One of the biggest costs in setting up your office IT is in purchasing legal software - and as soon as that’s behind you, you’re faced with the ongoing expense of upgrades.

You’d just love to save on these hefty software licensing costs - right?

But how would you like to go further and enjoy the freedom and flexibility of being able to customise your office software to make an exact fit with your specific business requirements?

One of the truly great innovations that the digital revolution has brought to modern business is the concept of Open Source Software – it’s hard to believe, but it’s completely FREE!

Simply put, groups of talented and idealistic computer programmers have put their heads together and developed free computer programmes that have become part of a recognised system in which the actual computer code and the intellectual property rights normally reserved under copyright laws are given away free to the public

This visionary system permits ordinary people to use, modify, and even improve the software, so it’s always changing for the better – which means the upgrades are free too!

A study by the Standish Group states that the wide adoption of open-source software models has resulted in savings of about $60 billion per year to consumers and business.

If you aren’t enjoying the benefits of Open Source Software in your business you may be spending money unnecessarily.
