“To increase acceptability of Linux solutions by local
enterprises, technology solutions provider metSYSTEMS Malaysia sees
a need to remove the misconception that Linux is only for computer
geeks and cybercafe operators, and to provide reliable
support….”

Towards this end, he says, metSYSTEMS is reaching out to
financial institutions, construction and property development
companies, private colleges and universities and government
departments.

“This kind of `talking` activity won’t generate immediate
revenue to us, and some people may think it’s a crazy idea, but we
think this kind of evangelism is necessary if we want to make
further inroads into the enterprise world.”
