Choice and Freedom to Choose - That's Crucial for You Too!
We are talking of saving in terms of:
- High-cost software license
- High-cost software maintenance, including virus/hacking/crash risks
- High-end technology deployment for the institution's day-to-day working
- High-end technology deployment for experimental/learning laboratories for students
- High-end working and research environment for faculty as well as students
DSpace is not only cost-effective, it is built on globally accepted open standards, and is used by a large number of institutions globally and within india. There is a big push to migrate existing repositories to DSpace, among other reasons, due to:
- Open-standards based mature support for all the standards that matter
- No vendor lock-in
- Best-of-breed features, as detailed in our website/brochure
When you choose such an open-standards based environment of your institution, you build a high-tech, high-value environment - enhancing the values your institution teaches and, in turn, transforming lives.
That is how we say "OpenLX Linux: Humanizing Technology - Transforming Lives."
