I can only second that. Since changing from the pure technical
responsibilities to the more management related ones, I have noticed
that CEOs and CTOs are _very_ reluctant when they hear a software that
protects or runs a critical infrastructure is open source. Simply
because they think "Who do I call when things break, Who can I blame".

For a business flyer the rapid installation might be an important thing,
especially that you need not necessarily change your existing
infrastructure, everything else is tech talk none of them wants to hear.
