VARBusiness: Evolution Or Revolution? Linux Rattles the Business Mode

[ Thanks to Natas

In the fast-paced world of enterprise and Internet
integration, where the competitive landscape, partnerships, and
business models can turn on a dime, there are few more fluid
environments than that of the Open Source Movement.
Young,
energetic, and still possessing the backroom cook-pot character of
many of this industry’s early and most successful innovations, it’s
a realm that’s ripe with business opportunity….”

“Few are more familiar with that environment than VBU Linux
advisor, Dallas integrator Tom Adelstein. With a formal schooling
in accounting and business processes and a 20-year real-world
education in business IT consulting, Tom has worked with every
operating system designed for desktop and server. But none have fed
opportunity in his firms in quite the way Linux has. Bynari Inc.,
in which Adelstein is a partner and CIO, started less than a year
ago doing Linux integrations, quickly incorporated a service and
support model that provided call center help to non-clients as well
as clients, and now finds itself poised to get into product
distribution–a move is prompting the company to develop its own
reseller organization.”
