No doubt anymore about Open Source: it has imposed itself !

The Open Source is from now on in the middle of any information system. Better, it becomes the backbone of the pre-owned softwares, claims Forrester Research. 72% of the questioned companies are conscious that the pre-owned software publishers integrate more and more Open Source bricks in their commercial products - in some cases, this is the reason why it enters the company. If 39% of the companies already combine open and pre-owned softwares, 32% finally prefer a purely Open Source environment.
 
And for which uses? Almost half of the companies (45%) use Open Source for critical applications. The manufacturing sector is the most enthusiastic user, the financial sector following just behind. Whatever the type of project, between 39 and 45% of the companies already deployed Open Source and 22 to 29% envisage to do so within the twelve coming months.
 
But the most interesting information is related to the rate of satisfaction: 92% of the questioned companies claim they are satisfied. Their choice is not only motivated by the cost driver. Independance, flexibility and innovation were also determining factors.
