Features

Schedule Cost

Jeffrey Hammond, ForresterOpen source is a ‘silver bullet’ that allows

simultaneous improvement along all three dimensions of the software ‘iron triangle’ of cost,

schedule, features.

Open Source is the “silver bullet”

“If the Trojan Horse was made of glass, would the Trojans have rolled it into their city?”

Security by “many eyeballs”

Open source cultural challenges

• Disclosure of confidential information

• Leakage of competitive Intellectual property and trade secrets

• Free as in “Free Beer”

• OSS is not straightforward to engage in, individually and enterprise-wide

Industries must overcome open source myths through active engagement

developer tools and documentation, and an enterprise-

grade software lifecycle that ensures high quality, IP and

security compliance of its project releases.

Open Developer Platform (New!)

Open

Open InnovationFosters open standardization and

interoperability for the industry through

transparent Working Groups for the Member
