14. • No vendor lock-In / choice of consultants / ability to build in-
house capacity
• Collaborate w/ our peers (White House)
• Security transparency (US DoD is a major consumer for this
reason)
• Open-Source platforms often pay more heed to open formats
and standards (e.g.: DCAT, RDFa, OData, JSON vs Shapefiles, PDF,
etc.)
• Innovation: healthy open-source projects can aggregate more
engineering effort than proprietary alternatives, propagate great
new extensions faster
• Freedom of Hosting Options: consume as a cloud-hosted
service today, change our mind and host in-house tomorrow, etc.

CSV
