Outlook: Putting Malaysia on open source map

,----[ Quote ]
| Q: What is the best way to implement open source in an
| enterprise environment?
| 
| A: You don't have to go 100 per cent open source. In an
| environment, 80 per cent of the IT expenditure would go to the
| business software such as ERP, SCM, business intelligence,
| reporting tools, etc. This is where open source should be
| targeted at, where you can save the most.
