Open Source Market: OpenLogic’s CEO unveils new trends
Open Source Market: OpenLogic’s CEO unveils new trends
by Roberto Galoppini, April 5, 2007
Steven L. Grandchamp, OpenLogic’s CEO, has written an insightful article entitled “The Evolution of Open Source”, explaining that there are many sourcing and selection issues and how this market is evolving.
Roberto discusses Steven's article in this blog post and also provides his perspectives on the trends.
One quote that I'd like to carry from this post, "The real opportunity for growth is in demystifying the use of open source. Those third-party, open source firms that focus on helping enterprises develop policies, pick projects, and manage deployments are the ones most likely to succeed and excel." Similar to what Roberto says, I'm not sure if these horizontal business models are more likely to succeed (I hope this indeed is what Roberto has meant by his term "horizontal" business models!), but I can see a distinct value addition and a distinct avenue of making serious money as well in this model!
