10 reasons for the inevitability of Open-source
software
2
No reinvention
Doing anything else is suboptimal and will
ultimately leave you behind
3
Customization with benefits
Contributing your customizations back to open
source allows them to be vetted and improved for
your benefit.
4
Motivated Workforce

• Beyond a good wage and a supportive work
  environment, there is little that can push
  developers to do high-quality work more than
• peer approval
• community recognition
• the opportunity for fame.

5
Attracting top talent
Not contributing open source back to the
community narrows the talent pool for tech
vendors in an increasingly unacceptable way
6
The efficiency of standardized practices
Standardization leads to more-optimized
organizations, which feature faster developer
on-ramping and less wasted time.
7
Business acceleration
Open source is increasingly replacing proprietary
IP for infrastructure and application platform
technologies even in situations where a
technology vendor is focused on bringing to
market a solution as a central business plan.
8
A moat in plain sight
The constant innovation and evolution required in
operating in open-source environments fosters
fast innovation that has now become essential to
business success
9
Cleaner Software
Many proprietary software companies have
difficulty turning their large code-bases into
open source because of necessary time-consuming
IP scrubbing processes.
10
Strategic safety
It used to be that IT organizations only bought
important (but proprietary) software from large,
established tech companies.
11
Customer goodwill
Finally, open source allows a tech vendor to
accrue a great deal of goodwill with its
customers and partners.
