Open source and business pleasure vs. business pain
,----[ Quote ]
| Customers now view ROI calculators as a joke. It?s a clear sign
| of the maturation of the enterprise software industry. Customers
| are now looking to brand and bigness as proof of the ability to
| address solutions. This has been good news for IBM, Oracle, EMC
| and other enterprise vendors. It has been bad news for anyone smaller.
|
| Open source on the other hand is about something you want even more
| than you need. The want must be something where need is already
| well established. It could be something as simple as providing an
| enterprise system that has enough of the features I need and
| doesn't cost much or anything. It may also be the desire to have
| access to the source code to modify it for my own needs.
