The second wave in open source
,----[ Quote ]
| The economic malaise currently gripping the globe has
| claimed many victims, but one area of business that
| has actually benefited is open source software
| adoption.
|
| [...]
|
| A platform that goes well beyond what was achieved
| with LAMP and that extends into portal, integration
| busses, process management and data management. And
| that is fully supported by open source management
| tools.

Running Your Business With Open Source Software
,----[ Quote ]
| Why throw your money away? In the almost decade Iâve
| been working in the IT field, Iâve seen companies
| make some really stupid financial decisions when it
| comes to technology. Everything Iâve wrote above are
| things I noticed real companies doing. Buying Windows
| licenses for associates that donât do anything
| Windows-specific, spending money on the Windows
| Server operating system just to share a measly 5-12GB
| of files, and buying Outlook licenses for people that
| probably could do well with Thunderbird or web-mail
| are just some of the things Iâve seen companies do to
| flush their money away.
|
| The moral of the story is to think before you act,
| and buy the things you absolutely need, and to save
| money where you can. If you can save money within
| your organization, you can put it in another area,
| such as purchasing more servers or increasing your
| allowable bandwidth. If you require Windows servers
| and applications, thatâs absolutely fine as not all
| businesses can control what the suppliers require.
| However, use free software wherever it may fit in
| your organization. Youâll put some money back into
| your IT budget. So why do IT departments use closed
| source software when they donât need it? I have no
| idea.
