Putting Open Source to Work in the Enterprise: A Guide to Risks and Opportunities

When you visit a customer, what if the customer starts out the conversation by saying, "What is open source software, and what should I do about it?" Although this question is highly relevant, it could take the entire visit to give a thorough answer.

Evolved Media developed this 28-page booklet, sponsored by four leading technology companies, to answer that very question.

This booklet covers such important topics as:

  • What is open source?
  • Perspectives on open source
  • Where does open source come from?
  • The productization gap in open source software
  • Putting open source to work
  • Categories of open source opportunities

Evolved Media CTO and founder Dan Woods has written Open Source for the Enterprise (O'Reilly 2005) and collectively, Evolved Media has considerable experience working with and writing about open source software.
