Enterprise-Ready Open Source

Increasingly, companies are looking to open source software to address complex and costly technical challenges. The move started with Linux, Apache, and other open source platforms. These products proved their value and reliability and established a growing footprint, penetrating more than 70% of all multibillion-dollar corporations.

Open source software is moving forward to the next generation: IT management. At GroundWork, we focus on open source software because it provides essential capabilities without overburdening applications with complex, seldom-used features. Many multibillion-dollar corporations, governments and higher education institutions already use open source for their IT management needs.

The benefits of enterprise-ready open source:

• Low cost to purchase, deploy and maintain vs. expensive commercial solutions
• Increased flexibility for integration and customization
• Proven reliability through worldwide testing and use
• Elimination of needless features and complexity
• Freedom from vendor lock-in and onerous license fees
