Open source is providing tremendous
value to enterprises, but challenges remain, including …
- Commercial-grade support
- Deliberately spread fear, uncertainty and doubt
- License proliferation
- Security
- Software quality
There clearly is a lot of confusion when it comes to the
Commercial Adoption of Open Source (CAOS). The 451 CAOS
Research Service assists software vendors, early adopter end
users and software committers as they wade through a sea of
uncertainty.
Underlying this research is the 451 CAOS Community – an
insider group of early adopters who deliver direction to the
entire software industry.
Participation in the 451 CAOS Community – which is
complimentary and has no annual cost – gives you an inside track
on developments within the enterprise open source world and
provides special access to 451 research in return for your
feedback.
Participants will receive:
- 451 CAOS report excerpts specific to end users and software committers.
- A monthly 451 CAOS Community Update email (with key data and insights from the 451 analyst team).
- Additional online access to special offers and community activities specifically for 451 CAOS Community Participants.
Participants will be invited to:
- Respond to up to six online surveys per year (in support of 451 CAOS Reports).
- Participate in occasional online or teleconference forums designed for early adopter end users and software committers.
