Nearly eight of 10 enterprises use free and open source software, with the complaints being a lack of enterprise-grade support and poor usability.
Free and open source software (FOSS) is one of those creatures that the technology industry often doesn’t understand. Some still see it as software that is made by a bunch of developers who sit in their home basement all day long and create new products. With help and support from the open source community, some of those programs have become industry standards. The truth is, though, FOSS can be extremely reliable and, regardless of who develops it, whether an amateur software developer or major corporation, it can come in very handy in the enterprise.
