The economic turmoil has placed IT executives in the difficult position to deliver value to the business yet lower overall IT expenses. They must improve corporate agility with shrinking budgets while preparing the business for the next growth phase. Hard to do! Many IT executives are turning to open source software, creating increased demand and leading more Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) to consider new open source distribution and development models. We believe open source is the future for software. Our customers tell us that the following factors are accelerating the demand for open source software: - Lower or no upfront license fees
- Subscription maintenance fees spread costs over time
- High quality of open code
- Speed at which innovation can occur
- Scalability match to proprietary software
- Functionality match to today's business requirements
- Production level support availability
- Interoperability, standards and modern architectures
Open source was first ignored by the large incumbent software vendors; then ridiculed by many. Now it is a powerful force sweeping the software industry. Gartner recently reported that 85% of companies have open source software in their environments and Forrester recently said that 45% of companies using open source use it for mission critical systems. The question for many ISVs is do we fight the forces of software license commoditization, or is it better to ride them out. Historically, during a commoditizing event, opting for the latter has perserved many. CorraTech has helped ISVs navigate the challenge of starting, managing and maintaining open source projects since 2006. We have helped ISVs streamline operations to increase productivity and reduce costs.
