I’ve just been reading this article on Startup Donut about starting a business during a recession. It’s a slightly different situation for us as we’re not strictly speaking a start-up, but a recession is the ideal time to launch our sort of service, as coming to OpenSure should save a company more than it costs it. You can’t get much more cost-effective than free software, and paying OpenSure to advise, provide support and look after servers is never going to cost as much as reams of software licenses. Reducing your costs and increasing the level of service you receive has to be a good move for businesses during a recession.
