"TURN KEY" SOLUTIONS FROM SOURCIO OR COMMERCIAL OPEN SOURCE
YEREVAN, MARCH 4. ARMINFO. The commercial project Open Source
lab. Sourcio will offer open source "turn key" solutions for small and
medium-sized companies, says the co-founder of the project, director
of Lycos/Armenia Hovhannes Avoyan.
The project's task is not to design new open source products but to
use and integrate them. The key sales markets are Europe and North
America while Armenia for Sourcio is rather a source of experience
than a profit generator. "We consider Armenia a kind of ground for
testing new applications and pilot programs," says Avoyan.
Based on the experience of open source specialists Sourcio will offer
solutions in E-Government, E-Medicine, E-Education, e-document and
other spheres.
The emphasis is laid on low price - $1 per an employee of a
client-company (some $500 for average small European company). The
authorized capital of Sourcio projects will also be small. The clients
will also be offered a close hosting (in Europe rather than in
Armenia) as well as advising and training services.
Lycos/Armenia was founded with the financial assistance of Lycos,
USAID/Armenia and EIF. The cost of the project is over $1 mln. Experts
says that in Armenia Open Source is developing much more intensively
than in the other CIS countries.
