There’s been a long-standing belief that office
automation is just too expensive to bother with. From possible
higher hardware costs, all the way down to software licenses that
are targeting large enterprise customers at high rates. The barrier
to entry feels too high, thanks in part to costly price points
within the automation industry.On the do it yourself (DIY) front, going with a Linux-based
solution is not only affordable, it’s downright practical. Because
there’s no stipulation stating that one must hire an outside firm
to set up office space automation, the choice of installing
in-house or outsourcing the task is left to the decision
makers.
