Stop Being A Slave To Your Own Technology...
If you're as tired as we are of seeing business people become a slave to their own technology, this page and its resources are for you.
Cost and Extensibility!
With prices for software licenses increasing every year, businesses the world over are moving towards the Open Source model. The costs associated with standard software is now staggering.
But because of the dedication and hard work of thousands of developers from around the world, Open Source software is now beginning to get a foot hold in the traditionally, only commercially dominated, markets.
As time goes on, literally thousands of programs have been developed. While some are still in beta, others like OpenOffice.org, Firefox & Thunderbird to name just a few,

Free Yourself and Your Business...
The holly grail of the paperless office has proven to be in most cases unattainable. Sadly though, IT guys just keep pushing towards this because "there's money in them thar hills!" Too often, no thought is given to the end user's real needs, and a "one size fits all" solution is sold to the business.
Thinking "Outside The Box" for a minute every now and then can save thousands of dollars and bring sanity back to one's business. Each and every user has different needs. While it definitely saves to standardize your computer hardware as much as possible; the CAD offices have vastly different needs than the Admin office, which differ again from the shop floor.

If your IT people don't understand this...get new ones! They're wasting your time and money.
Much of your losses go seemingly unnoticed. But time lost on stupid glitches that are avoidable, mutiplied times the number of employees affected, adds up to real money and productivity losses year after year.

Granted, you'll have to pay to have competent IT people adequately study your needs to make relevant recommendations; but in the end it saves you money.
Savings Over The Long Term...
When looking at the potential savings, or in stopping losses, remember that they will be realized year after year. A consultant's fees, while seemly high, must be weighed against the savings acheived times at least 5 years. In fairness to everyone, the savings realized can go on even longer. So don't think about just this year, think longer term and everyone will sleep better.
have reached maturity. These programs are now ready for prime time in the business arena.
While cost is the main reason business considers Open Source alternatives, the ability to freely modify these programs to suit specialized needs (extensibility) is even more appealing. No one can claim sole ownership and restrict the ability to make changes. And the price: Free.
This fact alone can allow a business to actually take existing Open Source code and change it to suit their needs. You just cannot do that with a commercial software product! Click below to check out what's available.
