Reduce Open Source Adoption Costs

To help minimize the soft costs, mitigate the risk, and lessen the support load associated with adopting an open source technology, DevelopIntelligence is pleased to announced the release of its Open Source software development productivity services.

Boulder, CO, October 19, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Open Source Software (OSS) adoption is a common-trend within software application development community. More and more organizations, from Fortune 500 companies to small startups, are turning to OSS as an alternative to vendor-created shrink wrapped products. Software development organizations are embracing OSS as a way to cut costs, adopt emerging and potentially more effective technologies, while leveraging the intellectual property and support of the development community.

Without a single vendor backing many of the projects, adopters of OSS sometimes find it hard to learn and support these cost-free options. Despite the support challenges, the business constraints on enterprise-class applications don’t change - they are still mission-critical. Unfortunately, the education and support once provided by the independent software vendor (ISV) or the value added reseller (VAR), has become the responsibility of the internal software development organization. Instead of open source being a truly cost-free solution, most organizations are incurring soft costs associated with the time and effort required to learn and support the open source technology.

To help minimize these soft costs and mitigate the risk associated with adopting open source software, DevelopIntelligence is pleased to announced the release of its Open Source software development productivity services. The Open Source software development productivity services focus on creating productivity throughout the open source adoption process, from initial examination to implementation to production support, through the delivery of seminars, hands-on training, workshops, mentoring, and prototyping services.

For more information about how OSS can be leveraged within your organization and the impacts it might have, consider attending one of DevelopIntelligence’s open-house learning events throughout the Denver-Boulder metro region.
