Here are a few of the benefits you get from an Open Source system:
Trust
When you use Open Source Software you can have any independent expert audit any part of the system. You can see how your data is treated and how the system features are implemented.Flexibility
If you find a feature or record that needs to be customized for the particular needs of your team, you can have your own coders propose or even implement the change that needs to be made. You can run it on your own servers, or you can contribute the code to the standard version of Feng Office.Security
With an Open Source solution for which you always have the choice to host yourself, you can be sure that your data will always be safe.Innovation
When you share the products of your intellectual work and knowledge, and this knowledge is of valuable worth, people will feel compelled to help you and contribute their work and knowledge. This synergy drives higher levels of innovation.Freedom
Using Open Software means that you always have the freedom to choose. You can choose who will keep your software system up to date, who will administer the computers on which you run it, who will access its database. You can switch vendors with the confidence that you will have all the means necessary for making the easiest possible transition.Get the Source Code
