Training and open source

[Guertas]

Hello,

Thank you all for your advice. It has been helpful to read you.
I think we will be looking into open source data integration as it seems to
be the most flexible option in regards to our business.

A question: what are the assistance and training capabilities open source
software gives to their users? We have downloaded a few solutions - downloads
include Talend we are enjoying - we are testing and feel that one day, we
might need a better insight of the software.

Thank you for your help.

Your question may be better answered in a newsgroup appropriate to your
problem. Considering your post though, I would suggest that you reconsider
your alternatives. There are very few open source databases available for
commercial use, and all of those have rudimentary functionality. Further,
the only open source front-end software that I am aware of, will with a very
experienced programmer take at least 6 times as long to design as an Access
front-end. This newsgroup is dedicated to the Microsoft Access database
product. The Microsoft website may have misdirected you.

Open source is an interesting solution. And support and training can be given
when you use an open source solution.

When using an open source software, you can get support and training. You
can also get some free community support from community forums.
