The Linux Services Opportunity: The Demand for Linux in All Parts of the Enterprise Is Driving the Need for Systems Integration and Consulting Services
Overview From its humble beginning as a UNIX kernel experiment in 1991, Linux has become the fastest growing operating system in history - with millions of users today. Linux is creating new business opportunities for new players. For example, more and more companies are embracing Linux as the platform of choice for e-business and core business applications. As these applications continue to be deployed in heterogeneous environments, systems integration and implementation services will be needed. This need presents a multibillion-dollar opportunity for systems integrators and consultants. This whitepaper presents IBM's view of where the Linux market is today and where it is headed in the next 3 - 5 years, with a focus on identifying consulting and systems integration opportunities.
