The 451 Group: Calculating Open Source Software Costs and Savings
The 451 Group released a report to help IT managers and architects understand and calculate the costs and potential savings for open source adoption in enterprise IT projects. Raven Zachary, open source senior analyst and practice lead at The 451, expects costs savings to continue driving commercial open source adoption for a long time. He described the 'calculator' included in his lataest report as a practical and vendor-neutral tool.
According to The 451 Group, a significant number of enterprise organizations do not have formal processes in place for financial analysis, even though most consider cost savings to be the primary motivator for open source adoption.
"We do not believe that cost savings as a major motivator for open source software adoption is going away anytime soon," said Zachary.
