Did you know that you can simplify your IT infrastructure AND avoid many software licence costs by switching from the Microsoft Windows operating system to a Linux operating system and open source software?
What is Linux?
Sounds a little scary at first doesn't it? After all the majority of us have been brainwashed into thinking Windows is the only option available.
What is Linux? How does it work? Will I have to retrain all of my staff? Will I have to buy expensive equipment and software? Will I still be able to carry out everything I've previously done with Windows?
Linux is an operating system just like Windows used by millions of people all over the world. It works on similar principles and can provide all the programs you need to effectively run your business. In fact a proficient user of MS Office would encounter few problems in
switching to Linux. You don't need to buy expensive equipment - in fact costs are massively reduced compared with Windows and most definitely YES you will be able to carry
on with all your normal business activities as usual.
So why risk it? Why switch from what I know?
Well because there's so much more to gain. Not only is your infrastructure simplified so much so that less costly maintenance is needed, but you also negate the need to spend huge amounts of money complying with software licences that line the pockets of Mr. Bill Gates!
As a small business ourselves we choose to use Linux because of it's reduced maintenance costs and the fact we avoid most software costs by using open source software. We carry on with our business as usual and no one notices we use Linux as we operate and interact as normal. In fact once people have switched, they hate going back to Windows and you don't need to be an IT geek to get it - just ask Andrea Hubbard our new Business Development Manager.
