Open Source Benefits

To help those new organisations exploring the possibility of implementing open source software we have detailed some of the business benefits that have been experienced by our clients. We hope that you will contact us to see how we can also help you realise these benefits.

Benefit 1: Better, Cheaper Technology

1Tech help businesses keep IT costs down, ensuring that funds can be directed to more critical business functions. Open source is, by definition, available at low costs to any and all who want to deploy it, drastically eliminating exorbitant proprietary licensing fees and reducing the cost of customization and ongoing maintenance. 1Tech clients get the functionality and integration they're looking for, customised for their needs, at a lower cost, resulting in a dramatically improved ROI.

Benefit 2: Higher Standards

1Tech open source solutions mean freedom - multiple standards-based technology platforms from which to choose, numerous support options, a collaborative development community and no dependence on software versions or obsolescence schedules. This also allows our clients freedom of choice for their partnering integrator.

Benefit 3: Open source is a Community Movement

Part of the open source philosophy is "giving back" to the community, and regularly contributing code or best practices so that open source technology continually improves with use. 1Tech is a key contributor to the open source movement, and our strong relationships within the community ensure that we have access to the latest, greatest code and accompanying implementation expertise.
