We are pleased to announce that an article by Sarah Smith of EAS Ltd, our sponsor company, has been published in this week’s issue of IT Business Edge.

The article, ‘Calling All SME’s Who Need Help Understanding their Business Assets’  discusses the issues faced by many CIO’s in SME’s; namely that they are unable to easily and effectively understand and use the information that exists in disparate systems in their organisation as the tools, supported by consultants, that enable this are prohibitively expensive.  This leads to decisions either taking longer to make or being made on a best guess basis.  Open source software is now available that can be used effectively by SME’s to provide a similar level of decision support that large organisations enjoy, at a vastly reduced cost.  The article discusses the issues and some of the pros and cons of open source software.
