A lot of people are paying more than 10 times the cost for essentially the same thing. Obviously, this is not something people do by choice. The New Economics of IT aims to change this model and is a major disruption to the $20 billion proprietary lock-in by providing better, more flexible open source and subscription-based technologies that cost up to 95 percent less, while offering more innovation.

In The New Economics of IT, users only pay for the technology they actually use, which means they pay a whole lot less.

• No License Fees - no one wants to lock up valuable capital in shelfware (software not actually in use). It is a bad use of company assets.
• Pay as you go - only pay for what is actually used. If the company reduces their use of software, fees go down
• Predictable Costs - too many times software vendors spring nasty unbudgeted surprise fees if usage changes

The New Economics of IT has been building for a decade and is now causing a tectonic shift in the IT world. The New Economics of IT is the dawning of an era where businesses only pay for the technology they actually use. Companies that embrace The New Economics of IT will be better able to maintain their systems during the current economic downturn, keep essential projects alive, and pursue innovations that will give them an advantage as economic conditions improve.

Companies that don’t embrace The New Economics of IT risk paying a big price in terms of overall savings and innovation – the kind of price that ultimately can put them out of business.
