Cost Cut

by carlosrici Jul 6, 2009 9:01PM PDT

Dear,

I need to do some cost cuts in my company and I found out the best way is to substitute my proprietary paid IT structure for free and open source applications.

Does anyone have experienced this? Does anyone knows good Open Source Applications?

Thanks

carlos

How many people really need Office 2007? Imagine how much you save just by going to Open Office for those that need one page notes and memos.

Thats a smart decision.

As I saw in other post, you can save a huge amount of money using Open Office instead of MS Office.

Also you can use Open Source applications for ERP and save other huge share of money.

OrangeHRM - Free and Open Source Human Resource System. Seems to be complete and stable. Take a look at http://www.orangehrm.com

SugarCRM - OS app for Customer Relationship Management

and many others you can find at sourceforge.net

Good lucky and congrats for your smart decision!!!
