What benefits customer can expect from using open source software?

Well, there are many… But probably no one would argue that the first one (cost effectiveness) is getting more and more important for enterprises – especially for the small and medium sized ones… So let’s summarize them:

  1. Cost-Effectiveness: It’s free, reducing software acquisition costs.
  2. Flexibility: Code can be modified and customized to fit specific needs.
  3. Transparency: Source code availability promotes security and scrutiny.
  4. Reliability: Large developer community leads to prompt issue resolution.
  5. Innovation: Collaboration drives frequent updates and new features.
  6. Vendor Neutrality: No dependency on a specific vendor.
  7. Community Support: Access to forums and user groups for assistance.
  8. Interoperability: Adherence to open standards enables compatibility.
