Open Source

Retention Range promotes Software Freedom. This freedom is realised through the use of Open Source Solutions. Open Source Softwares give the Users freedom due to their liberal licensing model. The model also present a more cost effective deployment of computer solutions. This positive retention range in software purchase costs is the potential that Enterprises and Governments must harnesss.

It is important that Enterprises are empowered by their software solutions to meet their business needs. Open Source softwares give Users the flexibility and control over their computer solutions thus providing a more favourable environment for business to grow.

Our philosophy is anchored on the four software freedoms as summarised by the Free Software Foundation:-

• The freedom to run the program, for any purpose.
• The freedom to study how the program works and adapt it to your needs.
• The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help others.
• The freedom to improve the program and release your improvements to the public, so that everyone benefits.

We also actively support the on-going Global Open Hardware, Open Data and Open Document Initiatives.

Join us as we promote these platforms that will enable all nations to participate in the 4th industrial revolution.
