Open Source for Small Biz - the 10 minute primer

In the process of cleaning out my hard-drive in preparation for an upgrade to Mac OSX Snow Leopard, I stumbled upon these notes from a presentation I gave this past summer on how small businesses can use open source.

This presentation, perhaps more appropriately titled "how to start a development project," outlines the steps a business needs to take in order to become fully prepared to implement a new software application. The outline is as follows:

  • Recap from Part 1
  • Defining Business Goals
  • Taking Stock/Resource Inventory
  • Needs Assessment
  • Building Requirements
  • Vendor Selection
  • Case Study
  • Wrap Up


I'll write out a brief summary for each section when I get the chance. For now, Download and Enjoy
