4. Open Source Everywhere
“By 2012,software will include
commercial
80 percent of all
elements of open-source
technology ”
Many open-source technologies are mature, stable and well supported. They provide
significant opportunities for vendors and users to lower their total cost of ownership and
increase returns on investment.
Ignoring this will put companies at a serious competitive disadvantage. Embedded open
source strategies will become the minimal level of investment that most large software
vendors will find necessary to maintain competitive advantages during the next five
years.
