Presentations for category: Affordability
Affordability doesn’t just mean cost, it also means value. Free and open source software (FOSS) provides this value. Not only in it’s low costs (aka free as in beer), but in it’s maintenance costs being only those of expertise.

In addition, because expertise is generally the only cost, companies that use free software won’t feel locked in when looking for support options.
