Open source in companies
Opportunities for open source in
enterprises
Prejudices
• Users cannot work with the software
• Open source software is just for
hobby programmers and nerds
• Open source has not reached the
enterprise level
• There is not support for open source
software
• Open source software does not focus
on the needs of the business

The facts
• The acceptance of employees correlates
with the time spend on training
• Service-, consulting-, and software
companies offer support and advice
• Open standards facilitate a high
integration
• Open source is already used in
companies – but often on backend server
systems
• The decisions for or against open source
eis often a question of believe

Example cases
• Open source operates on many
servers as operating system
• Free software often supports
commercial solutions
• Company specific and critical
software exists, however is
rarely put into use
• Most cloud-based solutions are
based on free software

Conclusion
• Open source software is often not
designed for end-user
• For a successful integration, the IT
has to incorporate the users closely
and support them
• The project management in free
software projects has to integrate
users at an early stage in the project
• Believes and ideology must not
intervene in the decision making
processes of a company
