This session will present—in a question/answer format—an overview of ebizQ research findings into the various ways that open source software (OSS) enables both infrastructure and applications software to enable major IT trends such as service oriented architecture (SOA) and business process management (BPM). Panelists include representatives of the two leading industry consortia for those categories, the Linux Foundation for infrastructure software and the Open Solutions Alliance for applications. The panel will discuss opportunities, risks, and best practices for adopting Open Source technology for BPM, SOA (or both) as well as other important user needs.

Attend this webcast and learn about:

  • How open source software has been successfully implemented in BPM, SOA and other environments
  • How enterprise software users base the choice of an open source stack depending on what application/services/solution type (TP, BI, ECM, etc.) (and why)
  • The maturity of open source software in various industries
  • How involvement with the open source community can help your industry
