Introduction It has always been abundantly clear that price is not the only advantage that open source software holds. There are several reasons why businesses consider consuming, collaborating on, publishing, and supporting open source.
Portability and the freedom to use alternative providers Customers who are not impressed with their vendor’s products or services know that they can readily switch to an alternative provider. You’d also need portability in cases where you need to work with another provider in order to meet compliance or cost constraints. This affords you the level of business agility that prevents your business from feeling helmed-in and fosters broader thinking future plans.
Multicloud and hybrid support As they are multicloud by default, open-source workloads are not dependent on different types of infrastructure. In the hybrid cloud computing environment your on premises resources get joined to the cloud while multicloud implies that you can exploit the data and capabilities being paid for in several high-powered ways.
Smarter analytics Businesses are increasingly becoming data driven. Open source is empowering businesses in their efforts to navigate the wealth of data coming in and determining the most apt ways to leverage it. With CM/CT, (continuous modeling/continuous training) you gain a way of analyzing and following up on insights rapidly by restructuring how software and analytics teams work in tandem.
Superior support from innovation communities and tools Open Source Technology Solutions involve a large pool of software engineers that extends far beyond your organization, working in a collaborative way to tackle the same problems. Exploiting these resources and innovations allows you to free-up your employees to perform more value-added work.
