Aug. 3, 2010 - PRLog -- Open Source describes practices in production and development that promote access to the end product's source materials, typically, their source code.  Some consider Open Source a philosophy, others consider it a pragmatic methodology , according to Wikipedia.  FreeECM.com hopes to promote Open Source technology as both.  
The goal of FreeECM.com will be to promote, discuss, and educate on practical business solutions as it relates to Open Source ideas and technology.  The name FreeECM was originally put in place to represent Open Source Enterprise Content Management; however we have decided to devote the website to all enterprise level business applications.  This will include Open Source technologies or companies as it relates to Customer Relationship Management (CRM); Web content Management (WCM); Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP); and Business Process Management (BPM). FreeECM.com plans to publish case studies, articles, and financial studies as they relate to Open Source technology vs. proprietary technology.  Included in these efforts will be promoting and identifying companies with success stories in the Open Source market.  
The current state of the world economy has spurred an influx of Open Source products.  According to US News and World Report, “With stock prices spiraling downward and treasury yields tanking, the market has been sending a clear message: The fragile economic recovery is in trouble.  The economic souring is, of course, being spearheaded by a familiar cast of characters: An anemic labor market, a skeptical consumer base, a weak housing market, and a global debt crisis that threatens to overwhelm national governments, just to name a few.”  Proprietary software with a huge price tag seems to be a thing of the past - prepackaged systems at high prices, charging per employee for user licenses, and offering little or no customization are the kinds of offering that are just not cutting it this economic climate.  Once Free ECM.com is fully evolved, it plans to offer blogs and discussion rooms where subject matters such as this can be debated and dissected.  
FreeECM.com would like you to log on and check out the array of technologies and companies listed.  If you would like to nominate other companies or technologies for exposure on the site, please email the webmaster at FreeECM@gmail.com.
