Get up to speed and stay on top!
This free seminar took on a new format inviting numerous questions on just about everything Open Source-in fact the seminar overran considerably-but no one was complaining! The delegates appetite for more was staggering.
Topics which the delegates found engaging included:
* The rapid growth of Voice Over IP (VoIP) and how it can save businesses money and provide a powerful in-house telephony solution.
* The increasing acceptance of Mono; an Open Source implementation .NET which is available for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X.
* Sun's decision to Open Source their Solaris Operating System, and what choices this gives businesses.
* The development of the GNU Public License (GPL) version 3. The new license clarifies much of the language and better secures the legal position of Open Source in some niche markets.
* The ability to run Windows applications on Linux.
* Evaluating the different elements in an Open Source solution such as Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), support, training and more.
Time is a constraint for everyone and this is one area where OpenAdvantage helps the small IT business. We spend our time researching, evaluating and ensuring the latest developments in the Open Source world are passed on with complete impartiality, enabling the small business gain that important edge.
Further events of this nature are planned, the next one 'Why you should care about Open Source', on the 22 February 2006 provides concrete examples of live systems and products which take advantage of the power,
flexibility, low cost and exciting possibilities of Open Source .
We'll also be showing how local firm's have benefitted from using this most wide-ranging and dynamic field of software.
Gain an edge - use Open Source.
