Open Source
Open Source Software
Companies are familiar with the excessive cost of deploying and updating Proprietary Software, together with ever-changing File Formats, and expensive and highly restrictive Licensing terms.
An Open Source System can offer considerable cost savings to any Company demanding an efficient solution to specific Manufacturing or Process Control Problems.
Coupled with your ownership of the Source Code and the ready availability of Industrial-Strength Relational Database Systems, an Open Source Solution can offer an extremely attractive alternative to Proprietary Systems Development.
Proprietary Systems
What would you think of a car manufacturer who sold you his product without giving you ownership rights - or access to the engine or electronics?
On payment you were granted a sole "license" to drive it – you don't own it - you can't modify it – you can't sell it – if your partner wishes to drive the car a fresh "license" will have to be bought from the manufacturer.
You have no rights of ownership - You have an extremely limited and restricted "license" to use it.
This would be ridiculous – but it's exactly the case with Proprietary Software.
Your Freedom
Your Business - Your Systems - Your Data
Freedom really lies in the buyer's right to do whatever they please with their System and their Data - it lies in freedom of ownership – and in not being tied to any single vendor or a proprietary File Format.
With an Open Source System no restrictions are placed on your rights – you own the Source Code.
You can for example, without any additional charges, install the software on as many computers as you wish - have as many users as you wish, or use your system on multiple sites.
