SOT OPENS THE FIRST OPEN SOURCE DEMO SERVER

Autotalo, Helsinki, Finland, 2004-9-16

SOT Finnish Software Engineering Ltd. has opened the
Internet's first centralised demo server for Open Source
products. The newly opened website offers product
information, specifications and on-line demonstrations
for 12 showcase products - a number that will increase
to over 20 during the month of September. Among the
featured solutions are tools to fight spam, control
production and centralise maintenance as well as
clustering products and technical support. The 24/7
technical support service is a free offer from SOT
for help with any of the products listed on the demo
server website.

"SOT's business is based on supporting and integrating
Open Source products. We deliver customers Open Source
products as solutions. Our new pricing structure, based
on the concept of a service license, allows us to serve
our customers even better and helps to satisfy the rapidly
growing Open Source user base. The demo server includes
the best and most popular Open Source products",
explained Ms. Päivi Klimenko, Sales Director of SOT.

Solutions meeting virtually any need can be found among
the tens of thousands of Open Source products currently
available.  The challenge to users of Open Source is
in finding support and in selecting appropriate products to
integrate into a functional solution.

"The new service license concept enables our customers
to more easily compare the costs of closed and Open Source
products.  The service licenses give our customers access to
the professional services required to efficiently exploit
Open Source.  We provide long term support from 1-5 years",
said Mr. Santeri Kannisto, Managing Director, SOT.

The demo server at http://demo.sot.com/ showcases
the following Open Source products: the Apache web
server, SquirrelMail web mail client, SpamAssassin
Anti-SPAM tool, Big Brother system monitor,
Bugzilla QA System, X Application server, High
performance clustering solution, Live video
streaming server, Helpdesk system, Web-based
remote administration, a version control system
and ERP software.
