May need on-going licensing fee No access to source code Possibly no access to data / database Rely on vendor or consultant for changes Possibly more features Open Source Free. Always. Full Access to source-code and data / database Free to modify and customize to your needs Supported by global effort Develop local capacity to modify system – don't need to rely on one vendor or consultant Sustainable

23. Harnessing HIS Choosing a secure system: Windows based systems are prone to viruses which compomise security Many open-source software run on Linux which does not suffer virus problems Security issues in open source software are identified and fixed quickly Security issues in proprietary software hard to find and dependent on vendor to fix
