Thread: organisation chooses open source software

Hey Friends,Can an organisation gain by switching to open source tools and platforms.

Thanks Friends,When an organisation chooses open source software, it is able to take advantage of a platform on which it can build its own software. It can avoid designing software from scratch and leverage upon building blocks that are already available. For example; if an organisation with limited resources wants to build a series of distributed applications, it can use a platform like Apache to build them quickly. When an organisation takes up such open source projects, it is often backed by the open source community, which constantly offers suggestions for improvements. The company is able to quickly build its software to perform at a much larger scale this way. Hence, lower cost is also a significant advantage.
