Of course several Open Source packages are available completely free, which is a perfect solution for the cost problem, but frankly most of these packages are by geeks for geeks; i.e. you really have to be quite IT-savy to implement, integrate, upgrade them, and as we stated most small businesses simply do not have that type of resource.

Of course, there are external pressures on us all, and mortgages to pay and families to support have to play a major role in how we develop our businesses.
