As a result of the recent consolidation in the enterprise software space and the economic slowdown of 2009-2010, “open source” has finally entered the mainstream IT. More and more IT organizations are implementing open-source applications and tools across their application portfolio.

Open source technologies are complex; they offer diverse product options with various licensing options/constraints, long-term support models, developer productivity, total cost of ownership, etc.
