Come Ready to Think Outside The Box!
When was the last time you asked yourself if you prefer open source solutions to proprietary ones? Recent surveys of nonprofit organizations show that open source solutions maximize their resources allocation and give them the best of contemporary technologies. Some reasons for the success are:
- No fees for acquisition
- No or Low maintenance fees
- Solid software: As good, or better than a system organizations would pay for
- Active development and communities mean lots of improvements and new features, plus lots of help
- Generally easy installation and maintenance
- Very customizable – easy to add custom functionality
The fact that these nonprofit organizations reported the use of open source and graded them quite well as compared to commercial systems may be the information you have been waiting for to feel comfortable using an open source solution.
