[News] Open Source Could be Key to Technology Boom

This tech boom has legs

,----[ Quote ]
| For several reasons - especially growing demand in developing countries - 
|tech's run most probably will last many years.

| [...]
| 
| These are both pure software companies with extremely ambitious and
| promising products. WSO2 is attempting to build an all-open-source
| middleware product to compete head to head with BEA Systems, IBM, Oracle
| and other heavies. OpenBravo sells a well-respected open source ERP
| software (it automates the major functions of a business -
| accounting, manufacturing, finance, etc.) for small and mid-sized
| companies.
| 
| These two companies have been able to emerge in such unexpected
| places because of a combination of factors. For one thing, it costs
| less than ever to start a company. You can use open source - which
| these two are doing not only in their products but in running their
| own internal infrastructure. That radically cuts your technology
| acquisition costs.
