"CIOs who have implemented it [Open Source] report huge total-cost-of-ownership [TCO] reductions." *

The world is changing fast. The internet is now so integral to our way of life that few can imagine life before it. It is ironic that so much of the Internet is powered by Open Source software, yet it is hidden from general perception.

Part of reason for this is aggressive marketing campaigns by many software manufacturers: it is hard to compete against a million pound marketing budget. One thing is certain though: Open Source will always win when it comes to ownership and maintenance costs.

That is why so many blue-chips are now advocating Open Source for their infrastructure and desktop projects. The clever money knows a good deal when it sees it.

This service is now available for the small and medium-sized enterprise through Anoigo. We are as interested as you are in keeping costs low, and as we have extensive knowledge of the Open Source marketplace, we can help you find the perfect IT solution for all your needs.

Please, contact us to discuss your requirments on a strictly no-obligation basis. All you have to loose is your competitors edge.

Why Open Source

A practical example

• Problem - A  medium-sized accountancy firm required a dedicated ADSL, e-mail, firewall and Internet solution. The cost of "square peg closed licence" software was prohibitive. The client also wanted to restrict Internet access to specific sites.
• Solution - A Linux-based solution was implemented with a specially modified proxy server that allowed key staff to add Internet sites from the desktop as required. Anything not on the white list of allowed sites was prohibited. Saving on licence costs alone: more than £15K.
