We’re doing implementations of open source healthcare software like patientos and openvista right now. I called a proprietary medical software company recently and they said I’d have to pay for a resellers license. What was the price of the license to sell THEIR SOFTWARE, you might ask? $15,000 for a silver VAR label and $25,000 for their gold. Thats right. $25,000 to peddle software to hospitals and doctors.

In a time and age where Open Source rules and affiliate programs run rampant, there are still software companies that charge you to sell their software. I have no doubt that these companies will get destroyed once cloud solutions and the OpenSource medical software community runs these products out of house and home.
