Outsourcing and Open Source
A major force to reckon with today is the Open Source movement. As with commercial software, Open Source comes with certain risks that must be managed. But unlike commercial software, Open Source does not automatically come with a vendor who is commercially motivated to manage those risks. These risks may leave a company stranded as they may not get any kind of support and extensibility while using the wrong type of open source software.
