▌████ RELEASE NOTES
▌████
▌████ Open source software is changing the world of Information
▌████ Technology. But making it work for your company is far more
▌████ complicated than simply installing a copy of Linux. If you are
▌████ serious about using open source to cut costs, accelerate
▌████ development, and reduce vendor lock-in, you must institutionalize
▌████ skills and create new ways of working. You must understand how
▌████ open source is different from commercial software and what
▌████ responsibilities and risks it brings. Open Source for the
▌████ Enterprise is a sober guide to putting open source to work in the
▌████ modern IT department.
▌████
▌████ Open source software is software whose code is freely available to
▌████ anyone who wants to change and redistribute it. New commercial
▌████ support services, smaller licensing fees, increased collaboration,
▌████ and a friendlier platform to sell products and services are just a
▌████ few of the reasons open source is so attractive to IT departments.
▌████ Some of the open source projects that are in current, widespread
▌████ use in businesses large and small include Linux, FreeBSD, Apache,
▌████ MySQL, PostgreSQL, JBOSS, and Perl. These have been used to such
▌████ great effect by Google, Amazon, Yahoo!, and major commercial and
▌████ financial firms, that a wave of publicity has resulted in recent
▌████ years, bordering on hype. Large vendors such as IBM, Novell, and
▌████ Hewlett Packard have made open source a lynchpin of their
▌████ offerings. Open source has entered a new area where it is being
▌████ used as a marketing device, a collaborative software development
▌████ methodology, and a business model.
▌████
▌████ This book provides something far more valuable than either the
▌████ cheerleading or the fear-mongering one hears about open source.
▌████ The authors are Dan Woods, former CTO of TheStreet.com and a
▌████ consultant and author of several books about IT, and Gautam
▌████ Guliani, Director of Software Architecture at Kaplan Test Prep &
▌████ Admissions. Each has used open source software for some 15 years
▌████ at IT departments large and small. They have collected the wisdom
▌████ of a host of experts from IT departments, open source communities,
▌████ and software companies.
▌████
▌████ Open Source for the Enterprise provides a top to bottom view not
▌████ only of the technology, but of the skills required to manage it
▌████ and the organizational issues that must be addressed. Here are the
▌████ sorts of questions answered in the book:
▌████ - Why is there a "productization gap" in most open source
▌████ projects?
▌████ - How can the maturity of open source be evaluated?
▌████ - How can the ROI of open source be calculated?
▌████ - What skills are needed to use open source?
▌████ - What sorts of open source projects are appropriate for IT
▌████ departments at the beginner, intermediate, advanced, and expert
▌████ levels?
▌████ - What questions need to be answered by an open source strategy?
▌████ - What policies for governance can be instituted to control the
▌████ adoption of open source?
▌████ - What new commercial services can help manage the risks of open
▌████ source?
▌████ - Do differences in open source licenses matter?
▌████ - How will using open source transform an IT department?
▌████
▌████ Praise for Open Source for the Enterprise:"Open Source has become
▌████ a strategic business issue; decisions on how andwhere to choose to
▌████ use Open Source now have a major impact on theoverall direction of
▌████ IT abilities to support the business both withcapabilities and by
▌████ controlling costs. This is a new game and onegenerally not covered
▌████ in existing books on Open Source which continue toassume that the
▌████ readers are 'deep dive' technologists, Open Source for the
▌████ Enterprise provides everyone from business managers to
▌████ technologistswith the balanced view that has been missing. Well
▌████ worth the time toread, and also worth encouraging others in your
▌████ enterprise to read as well." ----Andy Mulholland - Global CTO
▌████ Capgemini
▌████
▌████ "Open Source for the Enterprise is required reading for anyone
▌████ workingwith or looking to adopt open source technologies in a
▌████ corporateenvironment. Its practical, no-BS approach will make sure
▌████ you're armedwith the information you need to deploy applications
▌████ successfully (aswell as helping you know when to say "no"). If
▌████ you're trying to sell opensource to management, this book will
▌████ give you the ammunition you need.If you're a manager trying to
▌████ drive down cost using open source, thisbook will tell you what
▌████ questions to ask your staff. In short, it's aclear, concise
▌████ explanation of how to successfully leverage open sourcewithout
▌████ making the big mistakes that can get you fired." ----Kevin Bedell
