But before you finalise those plans I would strongly advise you to do an audit of your recurring IT, Telecommunications and Maintenance Charges.

We have already come across several situations where companies have reduced their staff and have not reduced their corresponding recurring costs.

  • Are you in a contract with your Mobile Phone provider that is designed for 10 phones and now only have 5 reps on the road.
  • Are you paying annual Software Licenses, Software Maintenance and Hardware Maintenance for systems are no longer used.
  • Do you still need the highest speed Broadband Connection when you have half the number of people using the connection?

So before you finalise those budgets take the time to review those costs, and if you feel that you are out of your depth, then talk to your Computer  Services provider and they can conduct a Business Technology or IT Audit for you.

Well the answer is, Yes, a lot of this OpenSource Software is very good and in some cases better than commercially available software. However there is a lot of rubbish out there also. The best way to tell the good from the bad is to talk to your local INDEPENDENT (Remember some providers have a vested interest in selling you commercial software) IT Provider who should be able to point you in the right direction.

Here is a link to the Download section glasgorman.com which should get you started.
