Description

Open Source for the Enterprise provides a sober guide to putting open source software into practice in a modern IT department. This book offers a balanced view of the benefits and challenges of using open source, helping readers understand how it can be used to cut costs, accelerate development, and reduce vendor lock-in. Open source software is becoming increasingly popular in businesses of all sizes, with many large companies such as Google, online marketplaces, and Yahoo! already adopting it. The authors, Dan Woods and Gautam Guliani, offer practical advice on how to make the most of open source, including how to institutionalize skills and create new ways of working. By understanding the differences between open source and commercial software, readers can make informed decisions about which approach is best for their organisation. This book provides a valuable resource for anyone looking to adopt or implement open source in their business.
