Security Protection Prime Deciding Factor in Open Source Technology Deployment
IDC’s Software Adoption Survey report in Asia/Pacific region shows that security is a crucial element in open source technology. The report “The Momentum of Open Source: Adoption Plans and Challenges in Australia, Korea, India and the People’s Republic of China” was conducted in early 2007.
The survey aims to understand and provide insights to the existing open source software (OSS) adoption trends and future investment plans of enterprises in key Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) or APEJ countries - Australia, Korea, India, and China.
According to the survey, India and PRC are using open source technology more than Australia and Korea. Also, many of small and medium size businesses (SMBs) in all the four countries are using open source technology compared to large businesses.
“The results indicate that organizations perceived open source technology as providing better security compared to proprietary products," said Prianka Srinivasan, Market Analyst at IDC's Asia/Pacific Software Research team. “Though cost-efficiency remains a key decision factor, the results also suggest that organisations look forward to leverage open source technology to primarily fulfill their requirements for specific functionalities instead of widespread deployment.”
