Through our tight partnerships with several prominent Open Source vendors, such as Red Hat, JBoss and Apache, we are able to drive Open Source software direction for better adoption in the "Real World".
Freedom OSS is conducting this Open Source Survey to better understand the practical usage patterns and adoption of Open Source in your organization. Thank you for your participation!

What Does Professional Open Source Mean To You?
For enterprise IT organizations and independent software vendors (ISVs), open source software eliminates high up-front license fees, provides transparent access to code, and delivers high-quality capabilities honed by many intelligent minds focusing on a problem.
But wholehearted adoption of an open source approach also brings diverse challenges, including highly granular components with disparate versions that must be integrated and tested, variable component stability, uncertain platform and database compatibility, and unknown performance characteristics.
While IT managers expect to perform some testing and validation of any new software they adopt, it can be hard to predict the time and effort needed, especially in a complex environment that incorporates multiple platforms and systems.
Professional Open Source introduces an stringent "productization" process by incorporating careful requirements analysis and selection, stable code branch, formidable battery of tests, and full documentation. Through this process Professional Open Source vendors continually deliver open source products that are hardened, polished and enterprise-ready - stable, scalable, and fully supported. As a result, enterprise IT organizations experience lower middleware TCO and risk, while developers can devote more time to business application challenges.
