Open Source Software Solutionssss

    What are the Pros vs. Cons of Open Source Software?


    There are many pros and cons of purchasing an open source software solution. A company must seriously evaluate their needs and whether or not they would benefit from using an open source MES (Manufacturing Execution System) or ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system. Consumers must also take into consideration what the software supplier means by open source, the meaning could vary greatly from supplier to supplier. The pros of an open source software are simple. Ultimately, you will eliminate many in-house costs that would accumulate over time during the creation and implementation of your software. Your company’s ability to innovate and change your software makes better use of your time, which ultimately helps you outperform your competitors.

    RAD (rapid application development) tools to modify source VS. open source


    Open source software is usually released with source code under a license that ensures that derivative works will also be available as source code, protects certain rights of the original authors, and prohibits restrictions on how the software can be used or who can use it. It embodies software development methodology founded on the virtues of collaboration, incremental evolution, and working code. What does this all mean in the real world? For software users who have the skills to download and install software, open source means choice and freedom. The choice comes from the huge amount of programs available. Some programs like Firefox (the smoking-hot browser from Mozilla.org) or OpenOffice.org (a suite of word processing, spreadsheet, and related programs) can be downloaded and used by just about anybody. Other open source projects such as Babeldoc or Axkit are mostly useful for software developers.
