The State of Software Development: Is Business Ready for Open Source - and is Open Source Ready for Business?
The State of Software development: software development and the software industry are in the middle of a radical paradigm shift. The success of open source projects such as Linux, Apache, Open Office and Subversion™ are proof that open source solutions increasingly find acceptance in corporate and mainstream business environments. Creating software through mass collaboration and collective intelligence is no longer a novelty; but a rapidly maturing and sustainable strategy for cutting development costs, creating new business models, and fueling innovation.
Despite its success there's still debate on how and where it can best be leveraged in business. Is it on the edge, running web pages and workgroup applications? Or is it moving to the core of the data center, hosting business critical functions? Or could it be that the secret of open source success lies in its open, peer-based development methodology? And if so, how can enterprise development teams benefit from applying open source patterns and best practices behind the firewall?
This webinar will explore the issues and concerns around open source and provide answers to the fundamental question are enterprises ready for open source and is open source ready for the enterprise?
This webinar will explore the business models, benefits and risks of running the business on open source; the panel will also discuss the issues businesses and IT organizations must consider when introducing open source applications into their environments.
