Hi Guys,<br><br>I generalize here a question that I have posted in the Mapserver-user mailing list, as it concerns the whole OSGeo world and not only MapServer.<br><br>Some companies choose commercial software such as Oracle
MapViewer, Oracle Spatial etc.. because they offer the security of commercial support. So if
the companies have any problem configuring it (or any other problem)
they will use the support that they have paid for. <br>
<br>IT engineers in general can learn for them self and with the help of
the community support (mailing list) they are able to solve virtually
any problem. And the OSGEO mailing lists are the perfect examples of that. <br><br>
Nevertheless, CEOs and boards of directors still need some kind of
security and they prefer to use software that provide commercial
support.<br><br>Are you guys aware of companies that provide commercial support for OSGeo ? <br>
<br>thanks,<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Sebastian E. Ovide<br><br><br><br>
