Many enterprises have already realized how much the expenses with licenses are increasing. For example, a simple office solution based on the packet MS Windows XP + MS Office will cost about U$199,00 + U$679,00. In other words, approximately U$900,00 only of software. This without counting any other specific software and equipment, in general, necessary to execute these packets.

Some tendentious analyses makes the client believe that the change to free softwares is always advantageous. This, unfortunately, is not true. There are several costs that must be taken into account, such as: specialist systems used, data exchange with other enterprises through formats owners, necessary technical support, and the most important thing: analysis of the cost of training the employees. Other analyses, also tendentious, point to the apposed way, that the MS solution is the cheapest because it reduces the costs with training and support. This, also, is not always true. In fact, each case must be analysed fairly with its advantages and disadvantages.

STHS helps its clients in the discerning analysis of viability of adoption of alternative systems, in general based on free software. Including:
  • Case study of the client
  • Analysis of its platforms and softwares
  • Analysis of the domain of the company employees
  • Fair report containing the reduction of costs (when it is the case) with the expenses of license and additional cost (when it exists) with support and people
  • Migration, implantation and training of employees when the viability is checked
  • Cost of development of specialists/owners softwares for the new platforms
In some cases the analysis can show that the migration must be done in a gradual way. In such cases, the specialists softwares can be carried firstly to the new platform and only a few stations migrate so that tests and training can be performed. The other stations will change according to the experience with the users. If they show themselves familiarized with the change, we can promote the knowledge. Or, it's still possible to develop the specialists softwares with platform independence (multiplatform), so the migration will be much more gentle.
