For example, firms offering intellectual assets protection take deliver assessment services for many if not all packages. Their business model might be considered “horizontal”, as opposite to the classical (vertical) business model, where a firm offers every kind of services for a single package/distribution.
These companies will play an important to role in the developing of an efficient and effective open source ecosystem. Nonetheless traditional forms of partner engagement might not work, and things like Open Source Franchising (http://tinyurl.com/2cy4f7) will definitely come to play, soon.

As shown by an OpenLogic study (http://tinyurl.com/2y8hcy), a quarter of interviewed customers using more than 100 Open Source products can boldly affirm that they saved more than 60% of their IT budget. While 44% of customers using about 1 open source product answered that is “too early to tell”.

Open-source products accounted for a 13 percent share of the $92.7 billion software market in 2006. Predictions set the percent share to 27 in 2011, when revenue is expected to be $169.2 billion. Besides that, another Gartner survey (just 295 respondents in the U.S. and Europe) found that open source software usage stood at 23.6 percent, and this number is set to grow to 25.9 percent over the next year.
