Open Source is more a development model than a business model. It helps to evolve faster, but it's not a value for the end-user.

Today, we have way more free trials on the saas, than download of the open source version.

Our clients (entrepreneurs, CFO, logistic, HR ...) don't care that we are open source: they just want the best product, at a good price.

But it helped us grow our partner network of IT companies. For them, open source is a real value.
