Linux Web-Based Applications CD Available
SQL-Ledger, XRMS, and osCommerce MS2-Max on one CD-ROM brings real business solutions to small and medium businesses.
(PRWEB) November 29, 2004 -- Connect Computing is pleased to announce its
third and final CD in a series focused on introducing businesses to Linux and
Free / Open Source Software.
Linux Server Applications for Business is a
compilation of three web-based business applications and guide book to help
businesses use Free and Open Source software. The CD contains a full accounting
system, a CRM (customer relationship management) program, and an e-commerce
platform. All the programs are available on the Internet for download as well
but Connect Computing has downloaded and "unzipped" the files before putting
them on the CD-ROM saving people the time of downloading, unzipping, and
evaluating the software.
"Over the years, I've looked at a lot of
software both proprietary and Open Source and feel that these applications are
mature and very usable for small and medium businesses who may not have the IT
budget to buy a vendor's system or upgrade their proprietary system.", stated
Roy Hoobler, president of Connect Computing.
The package ships with one
CD-ROM and a 46 page guide book that gives an overview of each application,
installation tips, and several screen shots of each application.
Connect
Computing believes giving exposure to these types of applications is needed for
IT departments to consider Open Source. Most technical people are bombarded with
emails from vendors promoting their products where as an Open Source project
usually doesn't have a company marketing their solution. Having support from a
firm such as Connect Computing and other Linux consultants, can boost the
popularity of these applications.
