In the near future,
an Open Source strategy will be part of every ISV's
development and marketing plan, whether or not they
adopt Open Source practices and distribution methods.
How far to adapt and how much to resist will depend
on the individual ISV's understanding of the strengths
and limitations of the development and business
models associated with Open Source, and the steps
needed to control the risks. ISVs should
not view Open Source as an either/or battle with proprietary
software vendors; rather, Open Source is about understanding
the value that a higher degree of openness and collaboration
can bring to the business. For many software and technology-centered
companies, now is the time to get started with Open
Source. It is a business decision that should be factored
into IT strategy. Wise companies will manage and leverage
Open Source, not ignore it.
