Saving a Billion Using Open Source
,----[ Quote ]
| A leading bank in India saved Rs 100 crore by moving from MS Office to Open
| Office. It is simple mathematicsâif MS Office costs Rs 11,000 per user, and
| the organization has 1,00,000 desktops, the company would save a cool Rs 110
| crore on licensing costs if it moved to Open Office. Even if we budget Rs 10
| crore for training and support costs, the company would end up saving Rs 100
| crore.

| I have, however, been told that Drupal is a great open source software for
| building an ecommerce or even your own community-based portal. Sites like
| www.Wefew.net and www.asmp.org uses Drupal.
|
| But what's so great about Drupal is that it also has a localization feature
| that allows the developer to contribute to the translation server and let
| others utilize the translated languages for their site.
