Why Linux and Open Source?

Flexibility
Linux and Open Source has a tremendous advantage over its competitors: access to the programming code of the software.

For many organisations, the requirements of their IT systems are stretched beyond the capabilities of the software well before the time anticipated at the time of deployment. This poses real problems for the dynamic business that has systems based upon proprietary solutions dependent upon the solution vendors to provide, either bespoke enhancements or upgrades of a nature that meet with businesses requirements.

With Open Source technologies this is no longer the case, business has the ability to change and adapt the software whenever and as frequently as required to meet with its requirements.

The advantages of such flexibility to your business are clear, Linux solutions provide performance and efficiency improvements on a time line that suits business requirements.

The Flexibility of Linux and Open Source takes simple time saving improvement ideas like these and turns them into real business improvements.

Reliability
Linux has set the new standards for reliability across the globe, with many systems running year upon year with no intervention.

What impact on staff, customers and suppliers would your IT system have if it provided the information they needed when they needed it, all of the time, every time ?

Put in perspective, 15 minutes of system down time to a business of 30 or so employees is equivalent to one working day of lost sales and production. In this arena, Linux and Open Source technologies go beyond the Plug 'n' Play style of computing. It delivers Fit and Forget systems that allow you to go about the business of running your business - without costly interruptions.
