Tough economic times call for a new approach to software development and demand that organizations find better, faster, and more affordable ways to develop new applications. Open source is the answer - matured to match the reliability of proprietary vendors, it has all the benefits of an on-demand business model. During the webcast, attendees will learn about the types of projects best suited for adopting open source technology.
"Organizations are seeing significant advances from using open source technology," said Burkhardt. "There is a big contrast between open source, with its collaborative development and affordable business model, and the proprietary technology of the past."
The webcast will address the questions that organizations generally ask when contemplating the use of an open source solution - whether their company is ready for it, whether they can trust performance, and how open source allows increased speed in innovation.
As a former CTO at the New York Stock Exchange and as current CEO of a leading open source company, Roger Burkhardt understands the needs of organizations in various sectors that demand reliability, scalability, and security. Forrester's Noel Yuhanna has a broad view of the open source market and counsels dozens of customers in search of reliable IT solutions each month.
