| One other area to consider: open-source solutions. Having a strong knowledge
| of open-source alternatives to commercial products can give you an edge over
| competitors that are only using purchased package solutions. Giving your
| customers options, especially a lower-cost option, should help you get work
| from companies that can't afford a purchased package solution. Open-source
| solutions are going to be more and more viable in the future.
