Open source software reseller and consultancy firm Sirius is celebrating its tenth birthday by tempting potential customers with a free online advisory service.
Launched in association with Linux User and Developer magazine, the ‘Open for Business’ service is aimed at encouraging more organisations to adopt open source and open standards policies.
Sirius argues that this policy will become increasingly popular as budgets are cut and businesses are forced to do more with less.

Mark Taylor, chief executive of Sirius Corporation said: “It is easy to understand why Open Source is so attractive. Low cost and flexible license terms – all of these give Open Source software a compelling value proposition.
“Our hope is that the new online advisory service will open up the world of open source software to even more businesses with the assurance of a 'no-strings' guarantee.”
The reseller believes the adoption of open source will increase as it does not require licensing fees and has no vendor lock-in.
Maggie Meer, at Linux User and Developer magazine said: “We are delighted to be working with Sirius again. Over the past ten years they've demonstrated true commitment to our community and we are very much looking forward to seeing them at the Linux Expo Live in October.”
