Open Source applications and the Linux operating system are today presenting a viable alternative to Microsoft Windows based applications / platforms. Migration/Porting to Open Source and Linux provides corporations with quicker ROI and reduces the total cost of ownership for IT. Today, an Open Source strategy helps reduce the complexity of a long term IS plan, while providing a clear and sustained competitive advantage to the business.

InterraIT has developed and perfected a robust methodology to migrate applications and data from existing IT systems to Open Source. The InterrSource suite of open source engineering solutions provide end-to-end services to clients. These include conducting a thorough cost-benefit analysis, projected over several years, based on what it would take to migrate and what it would cost not to migrate - not only financial costs, but other costs, such as the amount of overall control you want over your organization's software requirements.

The InterrSource competency group of InterraIT has experienced professionals who can take on Open Source migration projects and execute some or all components in an offshore, onsite or combo model.

The major components of InterrSource suite are :

• InterrSource DataDriv - an open source database migration tool
• InterrSource AppServerTrek - an open source Application Server Migration tool
