Namuhla kunamathuba amaningi lapho ukhetha isoftware yamahhala yama-SME nabasebenza ngokuzimela. Kuyinkambu ethuthuke kakhulu futhi sinezicelo eziningi ngokuchofoza inkinobho.
Eqinisweni, noma iyiphi inkampani, noma ngabe inkulu kangakanani, ingasebenza kahle nayo software free, kepha sizogxila kuma-SME noma ama-freelancers angazi ukuthi aqale kuphi lapho enza uhlelo lwekhompyutha lwenkampani yabo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, inkampani enkulu ayivumeli inkululeko eningi kakhulu lapho yenza izinguquko kwezobuchwepheshe emsebenzini wayo wansuku zonke.
Mhlawumbe isizathu ukuthi ijika lokufunda licatshangelwa ukuthi lide (yize kungadingeki libe njalo), izinkinga zokuhambisana kanye nokufuduka kuhunyushwa ngokuthi "kuyinkinga" futhi izinkampani sezivele zinezinkinga ezanele zokuthatha izingozi ezintsha. Ukushintshanisa nalokhu kunganyakazi, bakhokha amalayisense okusetshenziswa kwesoftware, futhi bahlushwa izinkinga ezingenakubalwa ngamagciwane, i-malware nezinye izilwane ezicasulayo kumapulatifomu eWindows. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, le conservatism yezobuchwepheshe ikhokha kakhulu. Isono.
Kepha ukugxila esihlokweni salesi sihloko, inzuzo enkulu-futhi esobala- lapho i-SME noma umuntu ozisebenzelayo anayo lapho ethatha isinqumo sokuyisebenzisa software free ngokungangabazeki ukonga kwezomnotho lokhu okucabangayo, ngoba isoftware eningi imahhala, futhi amalayisense awakhokhelwa ukusetshenziswa kwawo njengoba kwenzeka nge-software yezentengiso. Akungabazeki ukuthi le nzuzo izokwenza ukuthi usomabhizinisi omncane noma umuntu ozisebenzelayo agxile emizamweni yakhe yezomnotho ekuthuthukiseni i-hardware yamakhompyutha abo, ekuqeqesheni abasebenzi babo, noma kunoma yini enye.
Sekukhulunyiwe kaningi ezikhathini ze- umehluko phakathi kwesoftware yamahhala nesoftware yamahhala, hhayi bonke software free kufanele ibe mahhala, yize cishe ngaso sonke isikhathi ihambisana, lokhu akuhlali kunjalo.
Enye inzuzo ukuthi software free, ikhodi yomthombo iyatholakala futhi izinhlelo zingenziwa ngezifiso ukuze isoftware ivumelane nathi, hhayi thina kwisoftware. Ngokusobala, iningi labantu alikwazi ukukwenza lokhu, kepha ungahlala ukhokhela umuntu ukuthi akwenze, futhi ngokuqinisekile kuzoba utshalomali olungcono kunokukhokhela amalayisense esoftware angenakwenziwa ngokwezifiso.
Isibonelo uma usebenzisa isoftware yokuphathwa kweCRM noma ERP futhi ukuphathisa inkampani yamakhompiyutha, uvame "ukuboshwa" nabo ngoba uhlala ugcina ngokuya ngale nkampani nganoma yikuphi ukuthuthuka noma ukuguqulwa. Nge software free Ukhetha isazi se-IT (noma inkampani) esikuthanda kakhulu, futhi yibo abazophatha ukuguquguqula nokwenza ngokwezifiso uhlelo nezidingo zakho. Izokukhokhisela ukubonisana nge-IT, kepha hhayi isoftware.
Nasi isifinyezo se- izicelo zesoftware yamahhala Okubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi umnikazi webhizinisi elincane noma i-freelancer angayisebenzisa enkampanini yakhe ukuqala (yize kunezindlela eziningi zohlobo ngalunye lwesoftware, sizokhipha isibonelo esisodwa nje):
- I-OS: Linux
- Iphakheji Yehhovisi: I-LibreOffice
- Itilosi lewebhu: I-Mozila Firefox
- Imeyili: I-Mozilla Thunderbird
- Umklami we-graphic: I-Gimp
- Imiyalezo esheshayo: I-Pidgin
- Isidlali sevidiyo: I-VLC
- Ukudluliswa kwefayela (ftp): FileZilla
- Isoftware ye-ERP: I-Openbravo
- Isoftware ye-CRM: I-SugarCRM
- Umphathi wokuqukethwe: WordPress
- Ukuphathwa Kwephrojekthi: I-OpenProj
- Ukuhweba ngogesi: I-OScommerce
Njengoba sishilo, bayizibonelo nje zokuthola umqondo wokuthi i-SME noma umuntu ozisebenzelayo angaqala kuphi ukusebenza naye software free, kepha kunamaphrojekthi angenakubalwa nezinye izindlela zanoma yiluphi uhlelo lokusebenza esingacabanga ngalo. Ukuze ubone ukuthi sikhuluma ngani, ungavakashela, isibonelo, iwebhusayithi ye SourceForge, lapho sizothola khona ngaphezu kwama-300.000 amaphrojekthi wesoftware amahhala.
Ngeshwa, kusekhona ukungazi okuthile kanye nokwesaba okuthile ohlangothini lwama-SME nabasebenza ngokuzimela mayelana ne- ukuhambisana kwefayela nedokhumenti phakathi kwesistimu esekwe ku-Linux ne-Windows. Futhi iqiniso ukuthi kuyaqondakala, yize kungakhombisi okungokoqobo, ngoba azikho nhlobo izinkinga zokuhambisana namuhla.
Imininingwane enikezwe yile ndatshana iyathakazelisa kakhulu, ngiyabonga ukuthi lolu hlobo lokuqukethwe lwabiwe. Lapho ngifunda lo mbhalo nganikezwa ngombuzo.Kwakungenzekani uma kusasa inkampani enenani lemali elanele ithathe isinqumo sokuthenga isoftware yamahhala yanoma yiluphi uhlobo? o Ungawathenga kuphela amalungelo okuba segama lakho futhi uhlale ukhululekile ngaphandle kwalokhu kuthengiselana?
