KTG launches free seminar on the best free software for small businesses

June 29, 2009 - PRLog -- KTG believes that great software doesn't need to cost a lot.  In fact, KTG thinks much of the best software is free.  Even when one considers the costs to have an IT expert setup a free software system, a small business can save thousands of dollars when compared to traditional software alternatives.  

"Part of KTG's mission is to present small business owners with alternatives to the expensive software offered by traditional software vendors like Microsoft," explains KTG (http://www.ktgdenver.com) president and founder Jonathan Stoddard.  "If people walk away from this seminar with the knowledge of how to use some of the free alternatives, we will have accomplished our goal," Stoddard continues.  

The free software seminar will cover free software options for some of the most common software needs in small businesses.  When the seminar is complete the small business owner will have a list of free software for corporate  email, customer relationship management and website/content management systems.  In addition to free software the seminar will cover some free tools and good technology resources for small businesses.  

"KTG has found that one of the biggest barriers to free and open source software adoption in small businesses is simply that there are not IT consultants promoting it to small businesses," Jonathan Stoddard explains.  "The fact is that most every small business IT consultant is a Microsoft partner.  This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it definitely limits the software options for small businesses."   KTG hopes to continue the free software seminars provided there is continual interest.  Eventually KTG hopes to branch out the free software series to cover in depth how to setup some of the free software systems.
