managed to create Business solutions with Open Source tech. Open
Source is a viable, cost-effective tool for Business solutions. We
want to hear from those of you who have created your own solution
using this technology. What were the advantages/disadvantages of
using Open Source? How did your solution hold up in the long run?</p>
