Founder of BTG Enterprises to Speak on Open Source Panel |

| ATLANTA, October 29, 2007

Brenda
Porter, co-founder of BTG Enterprises, an Atlanta-based
IT solutions firm, will participate in an Open Source
panel at the November 13th meeting of the Atlanta Electronic
Commerce Forum. BTG Enterprises Inc. is an independent
technology consultancy that has embraced Open Source
throughout its business. “Not only does BTG run
several internal business operations on Open Source
technologies,” says Porter, “but we often
incorporate Open Source solutions in our work for clients.
Open Source solutions have enabled BTG Enterprises to
decrease our own overhead and licensing costs without
sacrificing access to advanced business technologies.
This, in turn, helps us stay competitive.” The
meeting will examine the relationship between Open Source
technologies and the goals of e-commerce professionals.
Ms. Porter states. “I’m glad that the
AECF is hosting this event. I see it as a great opportunity
for technology customers and decision-makers to learn
a lot more about how Open Source can fit into their
technology and overall business strategies.”
Additionally, BTG has seen how much Open Source has
made business technology tools more affordable and
accessible to its small- to mid-sized clients. “There
has been a significant leveling of the playing field
for small companies to have the kind of access to
information and other management tools that used to
only exist for large enterprises,” says Porter.
“This event is a great way for decision makers
to learn more about what kind of impact that the adoption
of Open Source can have for their organizations.”
