Open Source Services
Open Source has gained recognition as the most significant IT trend of the last two decades.
Incorporating Open Source software and methodologies in a project can bring tremendous benefits. Adopting and integrating the correct open source technologies into a business can be a time consuming project, without the guidance and support from a capable Open Source partner.
Some of the questions to look at are:
- What rules do you follow when adopting Open Source?
- What are the licensing and intellectual property issues?
- How do you ensure there is a smooth integration of existing infrastructure, proprietary technologies and Open Source components within a complex project?
- Once Open Source components have been adopted, who is going to interact with Open Source communities to support changes and updates?
- How can code quality be guaranteed, in a world built around outsourcing, offshoring, insourcing and other new distributed development models?
