I m glad that the AECF is hosting this event. I see it as agreat opportunity for technology customers and decision-makers to learn a lot moreabout how Open Source can fit into their technology and overall businessstrategies. Additionally, BTG has seen how much Open Source has made business technology toolsmore affordable and accessible to its small- to mid-sized clients. There has beena significant leveling of the playing field for small companies to have the kind ofaccess to information and other management tools that used to only exist for largeenterprises, says Porter. This event is a great way for decision makers to learnmore about what kind of impact that the adoption of Open Source can have for theirorganizations.
