Still spending money on business essentials like CRM, Web hosting, online shopping carts, and the like? Then you’re not leveraging the Web’s best freebie software and services. PC World rounds up 15 of them, all designed for businesses. For example, secure e-mail via Comodo:
A security certificate, such as a digital ID that is attached to the e-mail message, verifies that the e-mail originated with the sender and has not been altered along its route. A digital ID identifies a specific e-mail address and is usually issued by a trusted authority.
A Comodo digital ID is free for one year of personal use. Comodo provides straightforward instructions for creating and installing a digital ID that is accepted by most e-mail clients, including Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express.
Lots of good stuff here, including small business accounting, e-commerce tools, and mailing list management. Is there a business freebie you’d add to the list? (My vote goes to perennial favorite OpenOffice.) Hit the Comments and sound off.
