In summary

Ten key pointers for making the most of Open Source

1 > Fully evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of Open Source

For each type of component, it is essential to weigh the potential advantages of Open Source

(interoperability, flexibility, cost reduction, control) and the disadvantages, particularly in terms of

functionality, integration and support. It is equally important to take care in choosing which

communities to rely on.

2 > Calculate implementation costs carefully: training, integration, development and support

Whether these are carried out in house or using a specialist reseller or systems integrator.

3 > Ensure appropriate support

For the most critical systems, using a specialist support provider is highly recommended.

4 > Take the legal situation into account

If it is likely that the user organization will be redistributing the software in any way, then very close

attention needs to be paid to the terms of the licenses.

5 > Include Open Source as an integral part of the global, high-level IS strategy

Historically, Open Source has been introduced into businesses in an opportunistic way, by technical

experts. Today it needs to be taken into account even at the level of the overall IS strategy, will the

full involvement of the CIO, purchasing team, etc.

6 > Choose the right components, at the right level within the IT infrastructure

Open source is not a product; it is a development process, and a fabulous toolbox comprising many

different pieces of software and components. To make the most of Open Source it’s all about

choosing and integrating the right components, according to the organization’s specific requirements.

Many businesses are now defining "consistency frameworks" for their infrastructures, bringing

together an optimized mixture of Open Source software and commercial solutions.

7 > Ensure phased implementation

Begin with pilot implementations on targeted projects, to optimize the learning curve and minimize

risks.

8 > Take a professional approach to deployment

All serious user organizations work in a professional and structured way, taking a phased approach.

But it is up to each user business to decide whether they will do this work in house or use a specialist

external supplier (such as a reseller, ISV or systems integrator).

9 > Share any developments within the community

This approach means that specific developments are more durable and can be further enhanced,

even to the point where they are proposed as candidates to become standards.

10 > Keep abreast of changes

The user organization is responsible for tracking the evolution of both the software and the

community. Hence the importance of keeping a watching brief or engaging a supplier (such as a

software publisher or systems integrator) to do so.
