Succeeding with Open Source Small Business Solutions

Small businesses waste time evaluating, deploying, and managing open source applications, taking time away from focusing on their business. Tangled applications and upgrade compatibility issues cause delays and discourage experimentation. Unsupported open source applications can drain the scarce IT resources. Jonathan Castleman from CyOp and Sean Tierney from JumpBox joins Caleb Barlow from IBM to discuss a cost effective approach to save time, reduce headache, and give you control and the required support. It reduces capital expenses, eliminates complex licensing fees and ends the dreaded vendor "lock-in" of traditional solutions. We will discuss key customer benefits and the business opportunity for resellers. Jonathan and Sean will also review qualification criteria for popular solutions such as SugarCRM, OpenBravo ERP and Orange HRM.
