Open Source Software: Panacea or Punishment?

October 23, 2007; 12:55 AM

October 24, 2007, Javits Centre, NYC – the second day of Interop Conference, one of the most important international events in IT sphere, will be devoted to the debate of appealing to open source software. Two opposite opinions will meet in a furious dispute: whether using OSS is generally beneficial, or the contrary. Here one will have a chance to look at OS solutions for a great number of IT tasks, and to express the opinion about this subject.

Usually critics of OSS state that after including the costs for acquiring and maintaining software, OSS costs more than traditional close source software. Matt Bondarenko, marketing manager of Eldev Software, responds to them: “The usage of OSS can be completely advantageous for a company in case it’s provided by skilled specialists in the sphere of OSS integration. This condition makes the open source model stable and cost-effective”.

As usual Software Development Companies offer OSS integration for reducing cost of project implementation. Qualified specialists have experience in open source solutions integration, migration to OSS, maintenance and support as well as OSS consulting. The rich experience in integration of different types of OS software products helps to speed time, reduce expenditures and exempt the resources to focus on the internal activities.
