ICTs and Enterprise Sustainability
Dear all,
Thank you for wonderful contributions on this thread. 'Undoubtedly' ICTs have changed the way that we live, communicate, work including and now, the way that we learn. Your comments highlighted:-
- ACCESS
- COMMUNICATION
- COLLABORATION
- EFFICIENCY AND ACCURACY, and more
Every civilization can be measured by the type of technology developed and employed. This can be seen from the converged and integrated communication networks that they use. Developed countries are associated with the latest technology and so is any great business enterprise.
In terms of enterprise sustainability, no one product can fully address this but rather, it can come from a combination of solutions that yield the required results in the best and manageable way. I have, however, a biase toward the use of open-source solutions as they are freely available and do not require license fees to use them. for example:-
- Collaboration Suites -[Zimbra, OpenXchange, Evolution]
- Web Browses -[Firefox, Opera]
- Office Suites -[Libre Office, Open Office]
- Desktop Publishing and Graphic Design -[GIMP, Scribbus]
The list of available free and open solutions is endless
