Open Source Software for Small Business
Open source software represents one of the most exciting opportunities
for small business. It is free to download, and in many cases is
as good or better than commercial products. Fortune 500 companies
have been using open source for years.
MS: is it advertising supported?
No,. It's really free. Development is supported by thousands of
programmers, universities, and even some companies.
MS: What types of software are available?
Customer Resource Management, Content Management, Databases, Manufacturing
Support, and hundreds of others. Now, these packages are not as
easy to install as off-the-shelf software, but a small investment
in setup can yield tens of thousands of dollars in savings. Software
that was beyond the reach of small companies is now readily available.
