Understanding Your Needs & Goals
- What Problems Are You Trying to Solve? Are you struggling with high software licensing costs? Do you need more flexibility than your current systems offer? Are you concerned about data privacy?
- What Software Do You Use Most? List the key applications your business relies on daily (e.g., email, office suite, file sharing, CRM, marketing tools).
- What's Your Budget? While FOSS eliminates licensing fees, remember to budget for implementation, training, and ongoing support.
- What's Your Technical Expertise? Be realistic about your internal IT capabilities. Will you need external help?
