Zero Cost Software

You may not realise that using any one of a number of cost-free, open-source software (OSS-ware) office packages will save your company the purchase costs and licence fees for your office systems - including word processing, spreadsheet, drawing, presentation and database.

Quality

Modern OSS-ware is so good and user-friendly you'll wonder why everyone doesn't use it all the time.  And amazingly, it's perfectly legal to run as many copies as you like for your business or personal use, at absolutely no licence fee or purchase costs whatsoever.  Updates are free too.  You can even have the source code if you want it.

Compatibility

And it's compatible with Windows, Linux and Macintosh.  You don't have to change your operating system or the Microsoft file formats you're familiar with - you can continue exchanging documents with others still using traditional suites.  We use it for everything.  Many governments are coming to the same conclusion.

Resistance

If there really are no catches, why don't all organizations use OSS for their office needs?

Maybe it's disbelief, or lack of familiarity, or unfounded worries about product quality, or lack of support or compatibility, or bad stories from the past, or concern about changing.  Perhaps just fear of the unknown.  Who knows.

Here's we we come in

We'll take away these fears by training a handful of your people in the wonders of open source software without disturbing any of your systems.  When they report back, you'll have the all the experience you need to decide if you want to change.

We'll train them at your own premises or wherever you want.  It just takes a day or so.  We're based in the South East of England.

What's in it for us?  Just the training.  We honestly won't try to sell you the software - you could download it for free.  Since we make nothing from the software, you get an unbiassed opinion.

And if we do our job really well and at a sensible price, maybe you'll recommend us to others...
