Open source platforms are ideal for such start-ups, as they give developers the flexibility to use software that is free, reliable and can be customized for high-end applications without any license issues. However, what makes this technology daunting for small organizations and start-ups is the fact that open source technologies are by and large decentralized and usually need technical assistance to ensure that they yield the right results.
According to DP Information - ACE Start-up Enterprise Survey (STEPS) released in March 2009, the top two challenges faced by entrepreneurs are raising capital and manpower issues. The report added that 90% of the start-ups have recorded a slowdown in sales due to the economic downturn. Against this backdrop, it has become even more crucial for companies to target a larger market, while keeping the reins on expenses. This is possible only by establishing an online presence through open source.
