Ron Bongo here once more to give you more insights on business and how you could learn more about open source concepts.

Learn more about open source software with Ron Bongo and how open source is finding its way into the realm of large corporations and into their IT infrastructure.

In a recent survey by Accenture PLC, a technology services and management consulting firm, half of the 300 recipients who were mostly large enterprises declared that they will now commit their corporations into using open-source software. What’s amazing is that another 28% have indicated that they started to make preliminary projects and experimentations using open source applications and that 69% of these respondents are confident that their investments in open source would continue to increase.

Open source applications used to dwell the bottom rungs of the IT infrastructures of large corporations, mostly in a trial or experimental environment. However, the report from Accenture confirmed that large corporations are now using open source systems in more critical areas of their infrastructure, particularly in the areas of business intelligence, portal development, and content management.

The honeymoon period is over and these large corporations are now turning their sights and focus on open source and what these applications can benefit their enterprises – now that global focus has shifted towards more practical, and wiser, decisions on technologies these companies are spending their money in.
