Open Source Means More Power

At Big Ring we use Open Source software to develop custom solutions for our clients. But what does Open Source mean, and why is it good for you? For starters, Open Source means freedom.

• Freedom from being tied to a vendor. Once we design, develop and implement your software, it’s yours.
• Freedom from exorbitant licensing fees. The Open Source tools we employ are free for us to use, so we don’t have to pass on the cost of licensing them to our customers.
• Freedom from monopolies. Does it ever bother you that the logic that your business depends upon is hidden behind the mask of a binary file system? In the Open Source model, companies don’t hold customers hostage by making them reliant on proprietary technology.

Just as important, Open Source produces better software. The tools we use at Big Ring have been developed, tested and improved by hundreds if not thousands of programmers. Their collaboration has resulted in the highest quality, most secure, best performing and most easily integrated software available.
