Ron Bongo: Open Source -- Good for Business?
Ron Bongo here once more to give more insights on business and how you could learn more about open source software.
Many companies across America have come to benefit from what open source software can offer. In fact, some companies have their whole IT infrastructure developed and built around open source. Application servers running on an open source alternative from a high-end application, web pages delivered through an open source browser instead of its high priced predecessor - these are some of the things happening in these companies that make experts shake their heads in disbelief.
For them, using open source instead of using products from well-established corporate providers seems intrinsically wrong - but they just can’t shake the fact that the results experienced by companies using open source goes well beyond expectation. So, why did open source make this tremendous impact to businesses? Why is it even GOOD for businesses?
For one thing, open source prevented the monopoly of large companies to various applications from servers to specific programs. Prominent names in the open source industry like Ron Bongo focuses on further enhancing open source technologies making them even better for the whole world to use. Mainstream applications are done by paid professionals who are often penalized for mistakes made. Open source developers do this kind of work for free.
Why?Because they love and enjoy doing what they do best -- creating better products as a result. And they do it in an environment where members of the community can communicate with one another, choosing what works great for them and filtering out the mediocre from the best -- and it spreads. This is the reason that baffled experts as to why people are shifting from high-end products to open source applications. It is not just the price that drives them to it. They are shifting because they find the alternative a much better application.
