Services based on Open Source/ Standards
One of the most significant contributors to driving down computer hardware expenses over the past few decades are open computing standards. These standards enabled end users to achieve dramatic benefits through interoperability and vendor independence. Instead of relying upon a single vendor to provide all solutions, which seldom kept pace with the needs of the business, a customer was able to ‘mix and match’ hardware solutions using open computing standards as the enabler.
Today, the software industry is going through much of the same evolution. Open software standards, which we simply refer to as ‘open standards,’ are propelling the industry to new levels. Just as open computing allowed customers to seek hardware solutions from multiple vendors, open standards are now allowing them the same flexibility in software solutions. End users may now select software from the landscape of the industry to meet their unique requirements while relying upon open standards to provide the ‘lingua franca’ to enable a true enterprise solution.
At Apertus, we believe open standards are the single most important contributors to significant and lasting cost reductions for IT organizations. In fact, our entire product offering is based on open standards as the key mechanism allowing for ease of integration with other products and legacy environments to provide a complete solution for your company. Open standards are so powerful, we built our business on them!
