Are you open to Open Source?

Global Trends
It's becoming increasingly evident that adoption of open source technologies as a platform of choice is growing at a faster rate than ever before. Several research studies by analysts across the globe have revealed statistics that clearly emphasize the importance and advantages of open source software today.
Companies use open source for three primary reasons:
  1. To control IT costs
  2. Deliver systems faster
  3. Make systems more secure
The three major paradigms of future growth of Open Source are expected to be:
  1. A sharp rise in enterprise wide adoption of Linux and / or Open Source
  2. Widespread availability and adoption of regional language computing
  3. A sharp rise in deployment of Open Source based platforms and applications on desktops, as the movement for “Affordable Computing” gathers force

  • Minimal TCO
  • Expansion of offerings - wider choice for your customers
  • Freedom from dependency on licensed software vendors
  • Contribution to improvement from developers across the globe
