At Gartner’s Open Source Summit in Vegas, research vice president, Mark Driver, was heard to say that at least 80% of commercial software would contain significant amounts of open source code by 2011. Driver believes that open source adoption decisions hinge upon four factors that should be viewed collectively. These include having a software that fits its purpose, having a product that’s mature enough to provide a reasonable risk/reward ratio, the status of the company’s technology adoption profile, and whether or not the deployment is mission-critical. “It’s being used by increasingly more conservative companies and for increasingly mission-critical solutions,” he said. Get a more in-depth look at the four factors and Driver’s thoughts on the industry here. |
