It is common for businesses to support proprietary software solutions because they come pre-packaged with multiple applications, customer support, and brand and user-interface familiarity. Proprietary software, however, is expensive and limited in its ability to be customized. Most businesses end up using only a couple of the applications that are bundled in the software package, and the applications that are fully utilized cannot be modified to meet a specific need.

An alternative to proprietary software is open source software. Open source software is ideal for start-up, small to medium businesses and non-profit organizations since the primary concern regarding technology is typically cost. Open source software is free.

Open source software is just as it sounds - the source code for the software is available, which means it can be loaded onto your business platform immediately at no cost. In addition, the software can be completely customized to suit your individual business needs. This is especially critical and beneficial for businesses dependent on internet accessibility; applications that would otherwise be accessible only via a work computer can be customized to allow access anywhere in the world. This unique advantage is ideal for cutting-edge businesses.
