A Look At The Top Two Factors Behind The Growing Popularity Of Open Source SMS Server Software

We have seen, in the last few years, remarkable growth in the popularity of open source SMS server software. We are talking about the popularity as measured through, among other things, the numbers of people opting to make use of such open source sms software programs, as well as the numbers of online searches being conducted by people interested in such software. The number of open source sms software programs being released into the market (assuming that the supply is demand-driven), would also signal towards growth in the popularity of such software. All this is against a background where, just a few years back, many people used to view such open source server software with a lot of suspicion. That was at a time when few people would have been willing to entrust their SMS-based operations to the said open source SMS servers.

Now at least a couple of factors can be seen as being behind this growing popularity of open source SMS server software:

1. The cost factor: like any other type of open source software, the said open source SMS server software comes absolutely free of charge. You may, of course, have to spend a little money paying someone to install it for you, or paying someone to tweak' it for you, but the software is basically free. And this is important to many people who are becoming aware of the sums of money they can save in this way. For many years, the makers of proprietary software had perpetuated the myth that the amounts of money people stood to save by making use of software were too little to be even worth mentioning. But we see more and more people becoming awake to the fact that this was just a marketing ploy. And that they, in fact, stand to save very substantial sums of money through the use of software - like the said SMS server software. Matters are not made any better by the fact that even the people to whom money is not really an issue can't see what extra value they stand to get by buying proprietary SMS software. The truth of the matter is that proprietary sms software comes with no extra value to justify the expenditure of extra monies on it. At least, that seems to be the view of most people nowadays. If anything, the sms software comes across as being better than the proprietary SMS software (because it is a result of collaborative work), hence its growing popularity.

2. The support factor: many people are also becoming awake to the fact that if they buy proprietary SMS software, they will only enjoy user support from the company from which they bought the said software. That is unlike the case with the software, which tends to enjoy support from a community.' And if you subscribe to the view that many minds are better than one' you automatically get to see that the community support you would be getting with open source server software is much better than the single-techie' support you are likely to get, if you opt for the proprietary SMS server software. At least, that is the view held by a growing number of people who favor the said open source sms software.
