Open Standards & Open Source
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.
