Open Source: Powerful, Secure Solutions with Cost Advantages

Increasingly, businesses are now choosing technology standards that don't bind them to the costly licensing requirements of a particular vendor.  There is increased pressure for IT departments to contain costs and build solutions that build value for the company, not for the software company that sells them expensive softare.  The choice of cost-effective open source technology is increasingly a critical factor for the success of commercial businesses.

The leading technical platforms such as Microsoft.NET and Sun J2EE compete for comparable offerings. In many cases, the Java solutions prove to be more mature, more cost effective, and better supported by an ever-growing community committed to the success of Open Source / GPL licensed solutions. 

Binary Parcels recommends making the choice to use commercial license vs. opensource solutions carefully; the solutions will often achieve idential results, but with different commercial implications on future costs to increase the user base, scale, modify or resell your solution.
