Yes, we CAN all just get along!†
"Open Source" and "Software as a Service" (SaaS)
make it increasingly possible for groups of people to work better,
smarter, faster getting the job done on time and on budget. In a
nutshell:
- Open Source software is created and maintained by a global
community of contributing software engineers. There are Open Source
alternatives to do most anything and they are free to use. For
a more detailed explanation, visit the Wikipedia page for Open
Source
- Software as a Service, or SaaS, is software delivered
as a service over the internet. There's no software to install
nor maintain. Cost begins at free to low monthly fees based on
the features and capacities you need. For
