hear about those companies who have 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>
