Red Hat and Tally will be working jointly to make Tally, a popular accounting software package available on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, according to an announcement made by Red Hat today.

According to the company, since Linux is less vulnerable to viruses, users' data would be more secure. This is in addition to the traditional benefits of performance, manageability and lower total cost of ownership.

Speaking on the occasion Matthew Szulik, CEO - Red Hat, said, "Tally is the most widely used business solutions software in India. This is a defining milestone in desktop computing and will definitely change the way Indian SMEs consume technology."

He further added, "Application availability on the enterprise Linux platform will be the next driving force for Linux adoption."

The Red Hat-Tally bundle will be available through the partner ecosystems of both companies. Both companies will work together to train their respective partners on the new technology. The companies will also jointly promote a support center to address the support requirements.
