Linux, Open Source and the Organisation
|
Why should organisations adopt Linux
Productivity
- Greater reliability means
- less lost work
- less support costs
- less time wasted waiting for things to be
fixed
-
Cost
- Lower cost of operating system
- Particularly significant on servers!
- Lighter-weight operating system means older,
lower-spec hardware can be productive longer
-
Future Proofing
- Much more control of data formats and standards
- Reduced vulnerability to 'built-in
obsolescence'
