Bigger companies are finding the solution to their software needs [...]]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Open source software is now being adopted more frequently by companies of a larger size. According to <em>Software Development Times </em>in a <a href="http://www.sdtimes.com/link/34011" target="_blank">recent article</a>, <span>&#8220;Open source isn&#8217;t a buzzword or even a type of software; it has become a new way of doing business in software.&#8221;</span></p>
<p>Bigger companies are finding the solution to their software needs in open source applications. At DataSync in the past 60 days, we have seen a trend in more larger-sized companies turning to open source SaaS.</p>
<p>Why the trend of big businesses moving towards open source software?</p>
<p>1. Cost efficient alternative to traditional software</p>
<p>Open source software provides a cost-efficient solution to companies&#8217; needs for a <a href="http://www.datasyncsuite.com/products/zimbra/zimbra-vs-exchange" target="_blank">better alternative than Microsoft Exchange</a>, for example. In the current state of the economy, companies are searching for alternative options when choosing software providers. In a <a href="http://www.networkworld.com/news/2009/110909-open-source-companies.html?page=1" target="_blank">recent article from <em>Network World</em></a>, John Fantana writes, &#8220;The combination of pumped-up technical features and relatively low prices are giving vendors with open source-based products more inroads to corporate networks than ever before.&#8221;</p>
<p>2. More open source options available today than ever before <strong></strong></p>
<p>The adoption of open source software today is due also to the number of companies developing new open source solutions. Also in the <a href="http://www.networkworld.com/news/2009/110909-open-source-companies.html?page=1" target="_blank"><em>Network World</em> article</a>, Barry Crist, CEO of Likewise, a maker of integration and identity management software for mixed environments, says, &#8220;In the dot-com bust it was Unix to Linux migration because Linux was cheaper than Solaris on SPARC. Phase 2 [of corporate open source adoption] has been accelerated by the current economic conditions. IT is looking to do things in a cost-effective manner and there are a lot of viable open source solutions out there.&#8221;</p>
<p>3. Quality of support and security</p>
<p>The quailty of support offered from these reputable open source solutions is also an advantage. Fantana comments, &#8220;Adoption has also been fueled by the success of established open source companies such as Red Hat, Novell, Alfresco and  <a href="http://www.sugarcrm.com" target="_blank">SugarCRM</a>, which have proven to enterprise users that it isn&#8217;t the development process but the results (and quality support) that matter.&#8221;</p>
