Open-source Software
Where possible, we recommend that your team use Open-source software (OSS).
What are the advantages of Open-source software? OSS brings you benefits such as:
-
Leveraging on well-tested code and software
-
Potential savings in licensing and maintenance fees
-
Higher resource familiarity and use
-
Easier adoption and easier hiring
-
Support is easily available in online communities
-
Lower barriers for new innovations and the re-contribution of knowledge and resources
Teams should note however that there are also costs associated with the usage of OSS - primarily manpower and migration costs.
