A: Open Source software is a virtually free product.
- Open Source developers allow anyone to use it at no charge.
- In most cases they also allow us to make modifications to it and to use it in any way we wish to.
- See our Open Source page for a more in-depth explanation.
A: This important question has a 2-part answer:
- While the software is free, you still need a hosting environment to run it on. Installing, maintaining, and supporting this software are all services that we provide.
- We help organizations choose the right software product. Some Open Source products are supported by the developer and the open-source community, yet other offerings are not fully debugged and may even be abandoned.
Here’s how we support organizations who choose to use Open Source Software:- Install and configure the software on our professionally hosted servers
- Provide clients with initial training, allowing them to quickly get started
- Provide support beyond the software’s documentation and Help section
- Perform application backup
- Offer Professional Services
