Open Source Software in the Enterprise Technology Market (Market Focus)
Datamonitor, Aug 2009, Pages: 41
Open Source Software (OSS) has been a part of the IT market for over two decades. Recently, the commoditization of IT markets, changing attitudes to the production and distribution of intellectual property, and the global economic recession have put the OSS firmly in focus. Nevertheless, the OSS remains an elusive phenomenon.
Scope
- Defines OSS and sets it in the context of long-term IT market trends.
- Provides classification of the principal licensing and business models associated with OSS.
- Evaluates the state of OSS adoption by region, industry vertical, and technology stack.
- Maps out the complex OSS competitive landscape comprising a patchwork of vendors and non-for-profit bodies.
Highlights of this title
Driven by the ongoing commoditization of IT and the shifting attitudes to IP creation and distribution, OSS is certainly not a new trend. Against the backdrop of the global recession, IT vendors and enterprises alike are revaluating their stance towards the alternative IT paradigms, including OSS.
Datamonitor defines OSS as a technology paradigm predicated upon a specific IP regime that ensures the freedom to obtain, inspect, modify and distribute code. As a consequence OSS has evolved into a compelling production and distribution model capable of delivering flexible, modular, rapidly-evolving and cost-effective enterprise software.
Datamonitor concludes that OSS is now an integral component of the enterprise IT market. Today, OSS is particularly ubiquitous in the IT infrastructure layer, but the model is increasingly successful across the enterprise technology stack. If OSS is to compete favourably with the proprietary products, it will have to respond to a new challenges.
