How Online Backup can help you
Companies are finding new, creative ways to cut costs. You can, too.

 
   WHY OPEN SOURCE?
Open Source is a software movement that suggests owners of data should have free access to data and applications everywhere. Instead of making money on software licensing, open source suppliers make money on services - programming, consulting, and technical support services using open source tools. Open source is a 15+ year movement that is gaining wider acceptance through increased attention to security, user interface, and a quick adoption curve.
   HOW CAN GOING "OPEN" HELP ME?
It's simple: do the math. On productivity applications alone, the Microsoft Office 2007 Standard is $399.95. That's Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint. If you are purchasing new systems or laptops for your team, consider this licensing cost for each laptop or PC. To allow your team to either write a letter, make a spreadsheet, send email, or create a visual presentation, you're paying this cost up-front. Now, what if I could show you software that could do all of this, looks and feels almost exactly like MsOffice - and is entirely compatible with MsOffice everywhere - for absolutely no cost? That is how going "open" can help you.

Productivity applications, though, are just the tip of the iceberg. Think about the cost of your server licensing and business applications, databases, and communications solutions. There are reliable, free, open solutions that could displace some of these expenses while transparently offering the same essential services to your business.
