Open-Source Software

There are many free and open-source tools that can replace common proprietary software.

Why pay for software or services that you don't need, or that you can get for free? Instead, use some of the money you'll save with free and open-source software to pay a professional to help manage your infrastructure. Not only do you gain the benefit of professional expertise and experience, but you contribute to the local economy rather than huge multinational corporations that contribute very little to your community.

Here are some examples of business tools with good open-source options:

• Office document suites and collaboration tools
• Email services
• Collaborative development repositories
• Various business tools, e.g:
  • Bookkeeping
  • Communication tools
  • CRMs
  • Wikis and documentation
• And many more—please contact us with questions.
