We're curious about whether Open Source software is really better or cheaper than what we're doing now.

We get it. Few change over Open Source platforms such as Linux, Apache, or MySQL out of curiosity or sheer idealism. However, it turns out the Open platforms really do provide greater value.

If you've read this far, you probably have some commercially-funded whitepaper before you that says Linux, Apache, or what-have-you isn't cheaper. The basic argument in that report makes sense, but there's an awful lot of hand waving around the numbers. Rightly, you'd like to hear both sides of the argument.

Truth be told, we're not interested in arguing. We're far more interested in providing real solutions and real value to our clients. Before you dismiss a less expensive open solution as too good to be true, please contact us and see how we would solve your problem.
