Open source software is easier to use than proprietary software. It increases developer confidence and developers feel more empowered and in control of the product. Main features and advantages of open source software:
It will be a good investment for the image of your organisation,
Reduces marketing and logistics costs,
It offers a more flexible technology and the potential for faster innovation,
It provides a very high level of security, with thousands of independent programmers testing and fixing bugs,
thus ensuring that your institution/organisation retains its value in many respects.
Open source software minimises software costs in your organisation. You can get rid of the high licence costs you pay with open source software instead of closed box, paid relational databases purchased by a vendor.
Since the source code of open source software is publicly available, you get a lot of support from the community of software developers. You do not have to depend on any provider to get support.
Open source software is more secure software than closed box software. You can never be sure of the security of software whose source code you cannot access. But if you have the source code, you can easily solve security vulnerabilities and make the source code more secure.
Today, open source software is seen as the future of software technology. It has become dominant in Web, Mobile and Cloud solutions. Many data, robotics, artificial intelligence, cyber security, AR / VR and analytical software solutions are now openly shared on the internet. You can easily resolve any security vulnerabilities in the software and make the source code more secure.
Open source code developer companies charge for the service they provide instead of the licence fee. They offer services such as analysis, design, software development, operating support, etc. to their customers on a man*month, man*day basis.
