Business. 01/05/2005 03:13 AM

With abundant and cheap computing power and new feature-rich Open Source Business applications, small businesses can now bypass commercial software altogether. With Managed Application Service providers filling the technological gap, small businesses can digitize key parts of their operations without making large investments in consultants, hardware, or software licensing.
