FreeCode's product is: Free Information Technology controlled by the user.FreeCode gives customers greater control over their IT systems and IT strategy.
Information Technology should underpin the company's goals and objectives. IT strategy should be governed by the company's needs, not supplier's. Control of IT systems implies:
- Good processes and structure
- Ownership of the systems
- Freedom of choice
Structure is achieved through ITIL (IT Infrastructure Library – a Best Practice framework for IT delivery and support). ITIL became a formal international standard, the ISO 20000, in late 2005. With ITIL you get sound processes that facilitates communication between management and the IT department.
A company achieves better ownership of their IT systems through free software. Free software gives users the freedom to:
- Run the program for any purpose
- Study and modify the program
- Copy the program
- Improve the program and release the improvements
A company's freedom of choice is secured with the use of free software. It disintegrates the vendor lock in promoted by proprietary solutions.
ITIL/ISO 20000 and free software give control of IT systems and IT strategy. The company becomes master of its own IT destiny.
