| 4 | Cygnus Support was founded in 1989 to provide commercial support for |
|---|
| 5 | free software. Cygnus supplies products and services that benefit |
|---|
| 6 | advanced development groups by allowing them to use state-of-the-art |
|---|
| 7 | tools without having to maintain them. With Cygnus Support, sites that |
|---|
| 8 | once were forced to do their own tool support can recover that valuable |
|---|
| 9 | staff time. Former users of proprietary software now may choose |
|---|
| 10 | supported free software, combining the advantages of both worlds. |
|---|
| 11 | |
|---|
| 12 | Free software is faster, more powerful, and more portable than its |
|---|
| 13 | proprietary counterparts. It evolves faster because users who want to |
|---|
| 14 | make improvements are free to do so. Cygnus tracks these improvements |
|---|
| 15 | and integrates them into tested, stable versions ready for commercial |
|---|
| 16 | use, then backs this software with comprehensive support. |
|---|
| 17 | |
|---|
| 18 | With Cygnus Support as your partner, you will have the software and |
|---|
| 19 | the support you need to meet your business objectives. Cygnus is |
|---|
| 20 | intimately familiar with this software from extensive experience using, |
|---|
| 21 | debugging, and implementing it. You get direct access to the most |
|---|
| 22 | qualified support people: the authors of the software. |
|---|
| 23 | |
|---|
| 24 | We provide "vintage" releases--the most stable versions, which have |
|---|
| 25 | been though even more extensive use and testing--or up-to-the minute |
|---|
| 26 | "progressive" releases, for those who need the very latest version. |
|---|
| 27 | |
|---|
| 28 | Because all our improvements are also free software, you can |
|---|
| 29 | distribute them widely within your organization, or to your customers, |
|---|
| 30 | without extra cost. |
