In a world where large enterprise topics like Artificial Intelligence and Big Data receive the lion’s share of coverage from technology news outlets, FOSS4Biz seeks to do something different. Those who read tech news regularly know the companies developing these technologies are making big changes in the digital landscape. And there are plenty of places to read about these developments.
Meanwhile, the small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) still have orders to fill, projects to complete, and sales to close. There’s also a community of developers looking to help them through the development of open source alternatives to tactical business applications that address a desire for increased control or the need to bootstrap operations with a free alternative.
FOSS4Biz is dedicated to providing news and insight on the open source world with an eye towards SMB users. You won’t find much here in the way of who’s releasing the latest, greatest Large Language Model, or which cloud service is best for your data lake. What you will find is recent developments on applications and platforms a small business can use to get work done. This means applications addressing the following:
- Customer Relationship Management
- Enteprise Resource Planning
- Human Resources Management Systems
- Linux Servers (think local office file server)
- Manufacturing Resource Planning
- Mobile Device Management
- Office Productivity
- Project Management
- Small Business Market Strategy
- Work Management
Here at FOSS4Biz we’re looking to boost the signal on the great work the organizations developing these solutions are doing, in the hopes that there are businesses who can find a valuable new tool.
Welcome. We’re glad you stopped by.
