To the point of more with less and making the right investments.  This goes to knowing your services, cost and value.  All part of the practice of business service management and I agree we are at a tipping point for Open Source solutions and not just the collaboration, management tools too.

I find this interesting as I have been using Open Office for almost 2 years now and those of us who use Open Source know that these products got it right.  They publish in both formats.  So I can take advantage of Open Office, but I can publish in Microsoft formats to share with the non-Open Source world.  That is the smart model to gain traction in the market.

Do you continue paying the tax to the big guys or invest those taxes in growth?
