The Benefits of Open Source Platforms
When companies opt to operate online, often times their first decision is to decide between a closed development environment and an open source platform. Most businesses will admit that open source software wins because it is more cost-effective, but open source also reduces overall R&D costs, increases productivity, improves efficiency, facilitates interoperability and encourages innovation.

Don't Get Greenwashed, Get Green Hosting
Businesses worldwide are beginning to join the Green Movement by adding green options to their list of services. This eco-friendly mentality hit web hosting in the form of "green hosting." Green hosting is carbon-neutral web hosting where the host takes conscious steps to minimize or eliminate their carbon footprint. Companies that earnestly pursue greener practices through green hosting are a smart option. However, other companies only offer partially-green features and services that have nothing to do with "being green," or they simple do nothing but add a "Going Green" banner to their web page. This backhanded technique is known as "greenwashing" and is used so a company can strategically market themselves as eco-friendly.
