Open Source Integration Assistance

Open Source applications and solutions address some of the biggest challenges for IT professionals. The most visible challenges for small business owners are the high cost of infrastructure software and the limitations a closed stack imposes on the enterprise.

Open source is particularly appealing for the following reasons:

• Cost savings -- Users do not pay a license fee to adopt open source software nor do they pay for updates, eliminating the large upfront cost typically associated with infrastructure development and significantly reducing the total cost of the project.

• Vendor neutrality -- Open source software is developed and owned by the community. Users of the project are not locked in to a vendor's platform and are not forced to buy proprietary modules or adopt prerequisite technology.
• Access to source code -- By definition, open source projects make the source code available. This allows enterprises to inspect the code for safety, edit the code to add unique features, and not be at the mercy of a vendor.
• Innovation -- With a large community that includes end users contributing to the project, open source software has proven itself to be a practical vehicle for the latest technological advancements.

Using Linux is one thing -- it is a widely used and contained piece of software -- but using open source software higher up the stack can be unnerving. Unlike the operating system, middleware components are often integrated with other components and there are many more options.

We are committed to our aggressive policy aimed at saving cost for small business owners and one of the best ways of doing this is the provision of alternatives in terms of available enterprise-class software in the areas of database management, network security and productivity software.
