Content management system is whereby your website is built upon and it also allows you to log in and make changes in your website, which includes; publishing, editing, managing and deleting the contents one does not need and to add on there is no technical skill or web design needed to do this changes once the open source content management system has been installed. The most important thing that one needs to note is that when he or she uses CMS, one does not need to know how to code to make various changes. When choosing the content management system all you need to do is that choose a content management system that will fit your needs effectively, and the best content management system is open source.
Open source is a platform that built using codes which are readily available to everyone who desires to use it. It can be edited, copied or redistributed in any way one would like. This kind of system are developed and improved often in a collaboratively manner relying on the input of many. A few of the biggest players in this industry are; Word press, Drupal and Joomla. Each of these big players have their benefits for instance when one decide to chose word press this is what he or she will get; it allows one to some basic features like; themes installation, plug-in installation, widgets, full user registration and many more. Its benefit is that it has online community that which can solve ones queries and issues. Installing word press is very easy and barely takes time any time, even upgrading it to the next version is again an equal task. It also work as a blog, this is because comments are already built in the system in conjunction with pigging services, multiple blogger profiles, track back and common features one might expect...

... available that the developer can take and plug-in or they can add to boost the security of ones site.
Open source content management system often plays better with other systems. Various software developers have come up with ways in which one can integrate his or her website with another system. This is whereby you take a third party application to manage your donors or volunteers. Open sources such as word press often command some of the first integrations that are available.
The very important thing to note before acquiring the content management system is how good the security is and open source content management system offers a good and reliable security which is cost effective. It provides you with multiple options so as to ensure that one engages with their users at a level. This is something that is only offered by open source content management system.

1. There are several advantages to proprietary products over open source products: better quality control issues in creating products; a firmer control over the licensing, either the technology the product is based on or what material (music in this case) can be used with the proprietary device; the potential to build brand loyalty (for example Sony memory cards only work in their products, if you’ve already bought these cards you could be more likely to purchase additional Sony products in the future); pricing – companies could possibly charge a premium price for their proprietary products as there could be few to no competitors in a specific market space; vertical markets (if Sony is providing the device, memory card and music the majority of revenues are staying in-house); and proprietary products could potentially create barriers to entry.
At first glance, the question above would probably lead you to believe that proprietary software should be the obvious choice when selecting between the different types simply because of the reference to the words most important. You could also look at the definitions of the three and be convinced that proprietary software seems to be more compelling than the rest. However, with the recent developments with software in general, I would have to agree with those that argue that open source should be the first choice for any kind of software, and that considering proprietary software should only be an option if it has very specific and valuable features that the open source solution doesn't offer.

In the following paper I will be discussing the use of open source software as part of a larger project. Example uses of this include incorporating existing publicly available source code within another piece of software. Because the term open source has such broad implications, I will attempt to explain it within the context of this paper. Open source code comes with many different licenses such as GPL, BSD, and MIT. I will describe the most popular licensing options and how they differ. Many companies believe open source software projects have an immense lack of accountability; this is simply untrue. Lastly, open source software has recently received an abundance of attention in the media because of possible copyright violations. I will discuss some of the probable scenarios regarding copyright violations with open source and how to protect ones self. Throughout this paper, I hope to shed some light on the use of open source and how beneficial it truly can be to a company.
For one, the company has absolute control over its capabilities—at least within the bounds of the staff’s expertise. One can decide to stick with standards, or build completely customized applications. Custom web software development is software that is written specifically for a certain business application, designed and developed to meet a specific need and built to specific requirements. In other words, it’s specific to each individual company. When an off-the-shelf, generic software package just won't do, then the company should build it’s own.
It should be easy to install and user friendly. Users need not to be trained for it, it should be in line with how organization works, it should have built in custom fields to rename fields and cate...

...hey find, might not be as simple to understand since many of the users are advanced and may use terms and lingo the average person doesn't understand. It also doesn't have the support of a core owner of a license like Windows. There is no major support aside from web forums, and many computer techs don't have much knowledge of the operating system.
A lot of the software on Linux is available for free for e.g. they have Open Office and this is a lot like Microsoft Office but the only difference is that it is free.
The study of trust and control in a virtual organization has had researchers emphasizing on the importance of trust as a necessary condition for ensuring the success of these mentioned organizations (2001, p.277). Although we have been led to believe that this trust is the backbone of the virtual work environment, the author Michael Gallivan has explored the Open Source Software (OSS) movement and has made a case for the contrary. He states that “various control mechanisms can ensure the effective performance of autonomous agents who participate in virtual organizations”. He goes on to say that effective performance can be produced through control, efficiency, predictability, and calculability of processes can occur in the absence
The wiki is a browser based editing program which allows multiple users to contribute and edit text. It includes editing tools similar to a word processor that allow the user to control text size and color, make the text bold or italicized, and enter web links and pictures. Changes are tracked by the software and successive edits can be monitored or even rolled back to a previous version. The program allows email notification of changes made as chosen by the user in the settings of their account (Cunningham, 2002; Crocker, Hutchings, Nussey, Park, & Springate, 2010).
