| Linux software may be free, but does that mean you don't have to pay for it? |
|---|
As Linux becomes a viable platform for business applications, one
key question for finance executives is whether a system praised for
being free will exact a high price in the form of service and support.
Computer geeks may be thrilled by the communal spirit of collaboration
in the Linux world, but once a company has placed a crucial
application, such as ERP (enterprise resource planning), on the Linux
platform, decisions about how or whether to acquire adequate service
and technical support become an important element of corporate risk
management.
