Tags:
business strategies

Overview Tough economic times call for a new approach to software development and demand that you find a better, faster, and more affordable way to develop new applications. Open source is the answer - much faster time to value, all the benefits of an on-demand business model, and speed of innovation. Organizations are seeing big advantages to using open source technology, with its collaborative development and affordable business model. There is a big contrast between open source and the proprietary technology of the past. Companies need help understanding when open source is a better solution than traditional closed technology.

Join Forrester Principal Analyst, Noel Yuhanna, along with Roger Burkhardt, CEO of Ingres for a practical discussion around deciding when and how to use an open source solution and the kinds of projects best suited for adopting open source technology.

Hosted by James Hilliard and featuring live Q&A, this live TechRepublic Webcast will address these important questions and more:

Is open source for your organization?
How can open source allow you to innovate faster?
Are open source applications ready for "enterprise prime time"?

These topics and more will be discussed in this live event. Register today to attend this live event, sponsored by Ingres.
