Switch to Open Source and Improve Your Bottom Line!

Charles River Media announces Open Source Solutions for Small Business Problems, an exploratory guide to the operational problems shared by most small business, and the solutions open source can provide. Ninety percent of companies in the United States qualify as small businesses. Every day these employers have to deal with common computing problems, such as tracking electronic documents, scheduling, accounting functions, managing contact lists, and reducing spam. Many expensive software products are available to help solve these problems, but they often have features small businesses don’t need. Open source software presents easy-to-implement solutions at a fraction of the cost. Unfortunately, these solutions are relatively unknown to most small businesses. Open Source Solutions for Small Business Problems identifies good open source software that can help businesses solve these problems, and compares them to their proprietary counterparts.

The strengths and weaknesses of the open source packages are discussed, and additional information is included on how to integrate open source with existing proprietary systems to achieve specific goals.
