CIOs Take A Top-Down Approach to Open Source
,----[ Quote ]
| CIOs are taking over from those in the trenches and leading the charge
| into open source.
|
| Experts say enterprise use of open source has long been the provenance
| of developers and other rank-and-file IT pros, but as open source matures
| and more enterprise-ready tools become available, CIOs are taking over,
| bringing a new top-down approach to adoption.
|
| [...]
|
| "CIOs tend to look at open source initially as a cost savings issue,
| while developers look at things such as flexibility of component
| architecture and best of breed solutions."
|
| Raven Zachary, analyst, The 451 Group
