"He spent one day, and his final charge was for one per-diem, with no 'network review' extras," said Ken Innes, chief information officer for EKOS, a communications/research firm in Ottawa, Ontario.He's pleased with the consultant's quality of work, too.

Innes believes there's "a rather different business model adhered to by open-source consultants versus the others."Open-source experts in his area work primarily for nonprofits and have "a more parsimonious attitude toward spending clients' money," he said.
