Why Open Source?
Open source software affects the software with open source code that is **freely available to everyone**. Open source software is mostly free and **can be extended** or changed by anyone. Over 80% of companies today rely on open source solutions, and their **number continues to increase**. With Open Source Software you costs and **time**, retain **full control** over your data, can be completely **independent** of your software provider, benefit from limitless **customization options**!
Flexibility and customization options
The open source systems offer more flexibility than the proprietary software, and that means more freedom that encourages innovation. According to the Open Source 360 Survey, 67% of users consider it a key factor in their choice, because anyone can change the code and add new features to make the software fit their individual needs.
Security and code quality
As a rule, open source solutions are more secure than proprietary software. However, they are regularly and extensively extended by the community: the users find bugs and make suggestions for improvement. Security is an important factor when choosing the open source software for nearly 80% of users. Thanks to external control the code quality is also higher.
Low costs
The open source solutions are mostly free. 84% of the users apply it because of the price and independence from the provider. You can decide for yourself who will make the desired changes or implement the system: the software provider, in-house developer or other third-party agencies.
Maintenance and Support
Usually, the software providers offer affordable support services for e.g. monthly fixed rate, hourly billing or otherwise. If you have specific requirements that need to be implemented, the development team can also assist you, because they know the software best. Thanks to the paid support, bugs will be also fixed faster.
Scalability
In contrast to licensed software, in most open source solutions, an unlimited number of users works together in such a way. Registration of new users in proprietary software requires additional costs.
No dependance on software provider
A big advantage of open source programs is that you are not dependent on the developer agency. This independence is estimated by 84% of users and grants full freedom in choosing the right agency.
