Business Benefits:

• Lower business costs: Savings of 80% over Microsoft Windows/Office XP upgrade (90% less than full versions).
• Reduced complexity: Fully integrated system in a single package means less downtime and easier installation, management and use.
• Better security: Linux/UNIX strict security system root access control prevents viruses from modifying files. Java sandbox security infrastructure prevents viruses from infecting the system environment.
• Inter-operability: Files and documents can be shared and printed across Windows and UNIX environments; existing back-end systems can be leveraged.
