Look before you Linux
presented by Ryan Malarkey

October 1, 12- 1:30PM
Axian's office in Beaverton.
Join us for a free lunch-time lecture to learn if Linux should be seriously investigated for your application. This seminar is designed for CXOs, IT managers and others at companies considering Linux. If you want to hear a balanced perspective on using Linux in the Enterprise, this seminar is for you.

You will learn:

• Where is Linux finding value in the market place and how is it giving companies a competitive edge?
• Why has Linux captured so much "mind share" by software vendors and users?
• What are the risks and benefits of the open source development model?
• Where are the Linux "sweet" and "bitter" spots?
• Can anyone really break the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) riddle when evaluating operating system choices?
• Can I get reliable, responsive Linux support?
• Will I lose my job if I choose Linux?
