Contrary to what many people think, Open Source is not always magic and it’s not always free. As enterprises and service providers seek to reduce investment and operating costs in the
current economic climate, lower cost but full-featured offering is essential. To weather the current global recession and to tackle the effects of the economic crisis, Open Source is not necessarily the right solution.
Download this podcast now to find out how leading global managed IT services operator, e-Qual, found a solution for managing their customers’ business critical applications. They are able to not only meet
all their functional requirements but also benefit from major cost savings and, at the same time, enhance their service offering.
You will hear how this solution is much more cost-effective than when they previously relied on several different open source products which consistently had to be re-programmed so that maintaining the
software cost a minimum of 1 engineer per year.
