Why Open source
Added community Support.
We provide premium level support for both our hosting and our hosted applications, such support is complemented by the support of the open source community.
It is not uncommon to find helpful support and application plug-ins from the community for very specific and niche requirements, such support is seldom found for proprietary applications.
Chapter proof.
Many proprietary companies eventually file for bankruptcy leaving you out in the cold. This is not the case with open source, even if a specific company files for bankruptcy all you need is to take the source and use it elsewhere.
