Open Source Software - ICT Solutions at a Fraction of the Price
Did you know that your business could make significant savings by switching from proprietary software to open source Information Communications Technology (ICT)? Even better, open source software solutions can enhance your ICT, allowing your business to become more efficient and productive.
As specialists in open source software, Enterprise Automation can help your business take full advantage of this highly cost-effective ICT solution. Using our expert knowledge of the open source community, we can provide you with corporate grade software that meets the requirements of your business at a fraction of the price of proprietary ICT software.
Open Source Software – Powerful, Versatile, Affordable
As ‘core’ open source software is free, there are significant savings to be made by implementing open source ICT. But does this cost reduction mean your business has to compromise on quality? No. In fact, open source software offers many advantages over traditional vendor driven proprietary solutions:
-
As open source software is free, you only pay the low cost of customisation and support.
-
Open source solutions can be tailored to your organisation’s unique requirements at low cost. We have extensive knowledge of open source software and will ensure your ICT fulfils all of your requirements (unlike proprietary packages, which often only meet your core needs and can require significant investment to set up).
-
There is no single vendor responsible for the ‘product’. Large corporations and technology experts contribute to the free core product so that they can develop ‘add on’ services. They ensure the quality of the software as they have a vested interest in its success. Importantly, this shared responsibility also means that open source software is less likely to undergo sudden, dramatic changes.
-
Open source software is robust, stable and secure.
-
Documentation and support is available free of charge from the online community.
-
Open source software can be less demanding on resources and so can often run on older hardware.
For small and medium-sized businesses, these benefits can translate into significant savings. Our experience is that Enterprise Automation cut overall IT costs by 50% when compared to traditional proprietary software based IT companies. This is not because of unsustainably discounted rates; it is a direct result of the intrinsic benefits of open source software.
