Services Players

| General NewsFRAMINGHAM, Mass. ? According to a recent IDC study,
| open source is becoming a fundamental aspect of services portfolios for
| IBM Global Services, HP Services (HPS), Unisys, Novell, and other major
| services providers. The study also reveals that open source is moving up
| on the investment agenda of companies worldwide, as services providers
| (mostly services arms of technology companies) have formalized support,
| training, and certification services to encourage adoption of open source
| (principally Linux) on their products. As open source software goes
| mainstream, IDC finds that services vendors must further develop open
| source capabilities in order to meet their clients' needs and attract new
| customers.
