“Whether your small business has been around for years
or you’re just starting out, it simply makes good sense to use open
source software for everything from managing your office network to
putting together slide decks for your next client presentation.
Open source software is inexpensive (and often free!), secure, and
easy to customize to the unique needs of your company. Unlike many
commercial applications on the market today, you can even find
