It is an important step that ULX has been asked to participate in the TITAN Programme as a member of the HELB Foundation as part of a unique industry collaboration, which further demonstrates that open source solutions can now appear as an equal solution next to proprietary providers. The most well-known benefit of open source solutions are the significant cost savings they can achieve despite suggestions that there are some strong financial implications for retraining staff. With the TITAN vocational programmes broad opportunities have opened to train more and more IT professionals for enterprise-class open source solutions training, which is inevitable for their long-term engagement with open source.
