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 latest survey by Accenture PLC, a technology services and management consulting firm, organizations who took part in the survey indicated that while cost savings is one of the primary reasons their enterprises are switching to open source applications, their topmost reason for doing so is because of the software products’ quality, reliability and security.

This is just a clear indication of how open source applications are coming of age, maturing well enough to pass the functionality, feature, and capability requirements of most organizations aside from the cost. IT managers are becoming more confident with their use of open source, with a large back-up community all lending their eyes to detect and help solve any security problem a particular version may have. Technical resources are available out there to solve these issues and many are eager to rise to the challenge of any problems and issues thrown at them.

For other organizations, they find the flexibility of open source applications more acceptable for their needs than what commercial packages can offer. Many commercial packages offer limited flexibility particularly in intranet portal interfaces that open sources applications can provide. Aside from that, open source applications allow IT managers to have more control over developments, customizations and other changes that they would need to better suit the applications for their organizational needs.
