Open Source Wins Against the Global Economy
December 28, 2012
The global recession has been bad news for most areas of the global economy, with few industries proving to be immune or at least capable of weathering the storm. However, recessions can also provide a needed adjustment to the economy, getting rid of unproductive and dying industries that produce no true value. The recession that started roughly in 2008, has only fortified the open source industry, leaving experts to believe that open source is here to stay. Read a full report by Open Source Insider in, “Global Economy 0 – Open Source 1.”
The article begins:
“James Falkner is community manager for free and open source enterprise portal company Liferay and he contends that the future of open source has been shaped by external circumstances like the economic crisis. Falkner suggests that owing to the economic recession (which forced a re-think of budgets and investments) and the advances made over the last decade in web development that led to successful open source business models, open source has become a “de facto standard” in most of the world.”
If open source is here to stay, and we believe it is, consider ensuring that your organization has the right open source search solution to increase productivity and efficiency. LucidWorks has two great solutions, LucidWorks Search and LucidWorks Big Data, both of which provide excellent out-of-the-box usability.
