Red Hat CEO: Open Source Now Legitimate
Open-source software and the community around it does not need to be legitimized anymore as it is now legitimate, Red Hat CEO Matt Szulik said in the opening address at the Open Source Business Conference here on May 22.
In his address titled "The Evolution of Open Source in the Enterprise," Szulik said that enterprise companies have more opportunities today than ever to search for the capabilities they are looking for—across open and proprietary solutions.
The notion of being able to unlock the trillions of dollars of legacy logic is amazing, and there is a desperate search for the next generation of applications that will unlock all this data and logic housed in legacy applications. "This is an enormous opportunity for some clever mind," he said.
The software industry is also not trained to deliver high degrees of services, otherwise the 40 to 50 percent of customer IT budgets would not be related to service, he told attendees, noting that "as the open-source industry we need to develop service levels that scale beyond what is currently being offered."
On the issue of interoperability, Szulik said no open-source vendor has an issue with interoperability, since the industry believes in open standards.
