Pro’s and Con’s, Not so different
- Open Source industry
market goes
professional
- Enterprise editions
- Services offer portfolio - Lack of business apps
- Cost effectiveness - Governance, licensing is
complex
- Easy to deal with - Robustness & performance
- Free access to the code is
not a driver
- Commercial Open Source,
Proprietary solutions = the
same !
