By using open source software in government institutions money can be saved while promoting open standards. Open standards and the use of open source technology will allow the institutions to avoid being locked into a solution or vendor while enabling them to participate in an open community where they can request features and get free support. Open source software is generally free and available to all, thus preventing situations that arise when sharing data is hindered by proprietary file types. Save money, allow easy sharing of data, and access to all by promoting open source software.
