Benefits of using open source software:

• Cost savings typically range from 70% to 90% compared to a product developed from scratch, depending on the complexity of customization
• Development time and cost reduced by over 50%
• Software comes with rights to modify
• Complete flexibility for meeting specific needs (not available with proprietary software)
• Enhanced portability
• Vendor neutrality
• Availability of quick fixes and feature enhancements
• Availability of large pool of talented developers at short notice
• Current Status of most open source software development applications:
• Result of collaborative effort of a group of people, often working on voluntary basis
• Released on an 'as-is'  basis, without any guarantee on the quality of the software
• Often addresses a particular domain's functionality.
• Often requires more than one open source software development application to be integrated and customized
• No definitive source for obtaining the required technical support.
