Why Open Source?
Open-source software (OSS) is a type of software whose source code could be viewed, accessed and modified. In other words, Open Source gives you more control and choice. Bugs can be easily identified and fixed. Open Source is based on standards and is not tied to one vendor, so should the end-user wish to switch to another vendor, Open Source provides the flexibility to do this without overhauling the IT infrastructure.
Open Source boosts software development capacity – all parties collaborate, the best–fit software wins. Not just within one company, but across an online worldwide community. As a result, the Open Source model often builds higher quality, more secure, easily integrated software.
Open Source Benefits:
