Why use open source?

No initial outlay cost

Open source software is completely free and easy to use. This makes it a particularly attractive option for new businesses and not for profit organisations alike.

Quality and reliability of product

It is in the interests of open software providers to maintain a high quality of service. The integrated nature of the development process ensures that the principles of development are upheld. In successful open source projects, the result is a tried and tested, standardised application that meets the demands of users and developers alike.

No single vendor dependence

Open source software is built using open standards, encouraging a common ground across all software applications. Proprietary data formats increase reliance on single providers, and increase prices as a result of minimising competition.

High level of security

Open source software applications and platforms have a much lower risk of viruses, trojans and hackers. This also lowers the cost of achieving a sufficient level of security.

No upgrade costs

Upgrading is an essential stage of commercial software cycles, to ensure the user has access to the latest technology, and is protected against the latest known threats. This is not necessary with an open source software platform, as there are no licences and fewer security threats.
