Trusted Open Source Advisers

What is open source?

With over 40,000 open source projects (and doubling every 14 months according to SAP Research) open source is "the most significant IT innovation in decades".

Open source products are installed every day by the world's leading organisations - because they make business sense.

If there is a business requirement there is an open source solution available - from desktop to middleware, from operating systems to enterprise front-end business applications including ERP and CRM.

Open Business Associates can help you find, customise, integrate and operate the open source solution that is right for you.

Why open source?

Open source offers enterprises industrial-strength software at :

20% of the cost of traditional products with
military-grade quality, reliability and security and the
legal flexibility to innovate far beyond what can ever be achieved with proprietary software.

Open Business Associates has the corporate experience and the open source network to help you navigate this new world.

We would welcome the opportunity to discuss the open source alternatives for your next project and the chance to help you understand the financial and operational benefits that open source could bring to your business.

The Gartner View

“It is becoming not only impractical, but virtually impossible, for mainstream IT organizations to ignore the growing presence of open-source software in major segments of the IT industry.

Failure to optimally manage the potential risks and rewards of open source will put IT organizations at an increasingly serious risk in the coming years.”

Gartner, 21 March 2008, Document ID G00155800
