DataSync Business News

Mike Vetter, CEO of DataSync, has written an interesting article on how the economic crisis could have a very positive impact on the open source market. Mike follows the finance world closely, and has been watching the mortgage crisis unfold in the past weeks and months.

From the article “Bear Sterns. AIG. Lehman Brothers. Even Goldman Sachs. The list goes on. Large companies are failing or having liquidity problems in droves. The mortgage crisis is impacting every corner of the global business climate. It’s an interesting note that Oracle is boasting record profits despite the tough economic situation. This will not last. Organizations will not put up with being ripped until they can move to something else. Oracle is nearing the end of it’s stranglehold on software. Why? Open source.”

If Mike is correct, companies like Zimbra, SugarCRM, and DataSync stand to help organizations decrease costs and increase flexibility by leveraging open source and SaaS.

One of our senior network administrators wrote a great post about providing great tech support. At DataSync we’re passionate about serving our customers with excellence after the sale. Even the best software available still needs “rock star” support to help a business operate smoothly. We host best of breed software like Zimbra, SugarCRM, and Alfresco. This software doesn’t set up or maintain itself, so we have solid people running each system. We’re here to make sure you open source software works. All the time.
