Perspective Summary:

Saugatuck’s 2007 research study on user enterprise adoption of open source software indicates increasingly predictable user paths to enterprise-wide open source presence. A typical pattern of open source adoption and deployment moves from implementing enhancements to existing legacy systems to using open source as foundations for core IT in as little as three to five years.   More than a third of user executives worldwide – including IT executives – expect to deploy open source software to account for at least 25 percent of core, enterprise and data center IT foundations within three years.  This is a strong indication of open source software’s ability to change user enterprise software acquisition strategies – and to disrupt enterprise software vendor business.
