Either way you get the full benefits of nearly 10 years of commercial Open Source experience to provide practical guidance on where and how OSS can deliver the best returns for your organisation.

Our proposals offer a simple way to assess the costs and benefits of using and mixed or Open Source option against what is available on the proprietary market. In any competitive tendering situation, we are confident you will see the advantages.

Open Source audits offer far more than a traditional IT tender because OSS is not dependent on us or any other vendor. One of the greatest benefits of OSS, outlined in a recent report from the OGC*, is the freedom it gives you from 'vendor tie-in'. In stark contrast to proprietary software, your investments in Open Source technology belong to your organisation.
