    Organization Weighs Use of Open Source Software


    You began operating a small general electric contracting company two years ago.
    Originally, it was just you and your cousin, but it has grown to five licensed
    electricians, plus one office manager who takes calls from customers, schedules
    the work, and orders parts and supplies. Your company handles a wide range of
    work, including installing new circuit breaker panels, rewiring existing electrical
    systems for renovations and additions, and installing residential light fixtures,
    security lighting systems, swimming pool lighting, and ceiling fans. Business has
    really taken off, and your current manual systems and procedures can no longer
    keep pace. The office manager has been exploring several options and has
    identified three different software packages designed for small contractors. Each
    one of the packages includes software designed for managing parts and supplies
    Questions inventory, scheduling jobs, and invoicing customers. Two of the software
    packages are from large, well-known companies, and each has an initial licensing
    cost of roughly $550 plus $100 per year for software support. The other software
    package is open-source software, with no initial cost and no support cost. The
    office manager is unsure how to proceed.

    1. What is the primary difference between purchasing licensed software from a


    software manufacturer and using open-source software?
    2. What are the pros and cons of using open-source software?
    3. What risks and start-up issues are associated with the use of any new
    software that is designed to replace manual procedures?
    4. What actions can be taken to reduce these risks?
